Google to the rescue
Google's teamed up with some other folks (New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute, the PlanetLab Consortium, and academic researchers) to make available some tools to test your internet connection. This is great because when I pay for an internet connection I want the whole thing! Making these tools is ammunition for customers to fight back about ISPs filtering their connection.
Official Google Blog: Introducing Measurement Lab.
The tools: M-Lab
Stupid me didn’t backup
Well stupid me didn't backup like I should have when I started the wordpress upgrade. I followed the directions, and deleted the wp-content/uploads folder which had all of my uploads from various posts.
To further disappointment I haven't done any backups of my site at my hosting company. I put in an email and hopefully they will be able to recover something for me, but if not that is ok. My own fault.
