Okay, maybe facts need to be faced I really don't have much hope anymore of getting all the info ported from the resources I had in WOTS2 and 3 into WOTS4 without some help. So I'm putting this journal out to hopefully get some.

I don't care if you don't know how to code, you don't need to, most of the site is database driven now, so I'll develop data entry forms. I don't care if you don't know how to do images, for most part they're not necessary, but I can teach where needed.

If anyone is willing to help out, I'd appreciate it and all that needs to be done is to contact me.

September 2015.



But don't hold me to that.



Bonus: Do SimpFant things and send them to me for previews!

I've been working away on the code for WOTS4, and I figure that some may want to see how my code has improved since I started with WOTS back with WOTS2. (I don't count WOTS1 because it was so crap)

And here we go, as far as I'm concerned the more I can do with less code, the better.



The reason scenes.php was so large in WOTS2 is because it was intended to support viewing the site in TCB or LTBQ so it had to detect them.

editorials.php does work in WOTS3, but was never announced onto the site proper, you can access it like you would any other: babysimpson.co.uk/index.php?ac…

Yup, this is a repeat of something I posted about 2 years ago with a HDD going belly-up. This time around it's not as serious, though still an issue. Last time, the drive refused to spin after suffering some fall damage that cost nearly £500 to get the data back. I rearranged my entire setup for it but that doesn't mean I'm immune to harddrive failures. In fact, another one failed recently, but that was replaceable since I had the data backed up.

Here, I do not because the drive was too big. Because the drives that's having the issues is my Movies drive which contains my Lets Plays and that's how I earn a lot of the money I've been getting. If I can't upload those remaining videos, then that gametime and those LPs are wasted. Some of the footage is Blind, for Lightning Returns and LittleBigPlanet which have already been uploaded, in part. So I need to get at the remaining videos.

Like I said, the issue isn't as serious where the drive wont spin, because it still does, just that Windows isn't recognising it unless it's under certain conditions. Which is still proving to be problematic.

So I do think it may be in my best interests to rename all the files and then send it off to recovery, which should be cheaper this time around, but only once I've exhausted all other ideas. So, because this isn't a hardware fault, the cost should be much lower, the lowest using the same company I did last time is £97.

Until then, I have some videos recovered, namely the entirety of Final Fantasy IX and Kingdom Hearts (which is 44 + 28 episodes). The former was next after Lightning Returns anyway, so I'm going to upload that in the meantime, if folks want to support me in any way for a possibility of having to recover the drive, I'd appreciate it.

Here's Part 1 of FF9, which is my favourite video game of all time.



EDIT: It's official, the drive, I will now consider dead, or rather, mostly dead, there is a difference between mostly dead and all dead after all. I've put in a query about the drive with the same company I used last time. Apparently one customer in their testimonials had 1.5TB worth of audio books, I can't imagine how they got hold of that much of that content.
