Rule #1 – don’t do a wordpress upgrade when jet lagged after a 20 hr flight from India
Having violated rule #1, I was very happy to remember that I’m doing nightly backups of that environment with backuppc. 60 seconds later I restored the themes directory for dague.net with about 4 clicks in backuppc, and all was well again. 2 hours of monotonous work redoing my theme customization avoided… yay!
