Archives Update
September 28 2008
As many of you may know, D's Social Rants and Commentary page started way back in 2003 and served as a venting point for me to blow off the steam and annoyances of daily life while allowing me to express my own sense of social conscience to the world.
As each year passed, I created annual Archives that were safely stored on a back up area of my main computer. Well as many of my main readers know, I had a catastrophic computer meltdown in December 2007 that resulted in an almost complete loss of 110 Gig's of data including my Social Rants archives.
When I launched the "ColdHeartedBastard" domains (.com and .net) in February 2008 my intensions were to provide a complete archive of all posts dating back to the first 2003 Rant that began it all. In keeping with this intension, I have managed to recover the 2006 and 2008 archives. At this time the 03, 04, 05 and 07 archives remain a complete loss. The recovered 06 and 08 Archives are riddled with code and will take some time to clean up but you can expect to see them posted in their entirety.
At the same time I will be posting empty posts for each of the lost Annual Archives that I will update if and when the Archives for that year are successfully recovered.

I hit a kind of technological jackpot this evening and managed to recover the Full 2003 and 2004 Archives along with Partial 2005 Archives. The full 2007 Archives and Partial 2005 Archives remain unrecoverable at this time.
