signpuddle entry disappeared?

SignWriting List
September 27, 2012

Hello Oscar -
I am sorry to hear about this. I try to do a backup of SignPuddle data nightly. I do have a backup of the data for September 24 and 26. Unfortunately I did not do the backup on the 25th - that is a shame. But there is a small chance your signs might be in the backup for the 26th…

But if Steve can help you restore the data from your Export that will be wonderful… or Steve, if you need the backup I have, I can send that to you...

We do have available Private WebPuddles. Our non-profit organization needs funding, so if you want to have a private place to work on the web, with your own private SignPuddle, it can be set up for you immediately and your data can be placed in a private area just for you:

Meanwhile, I am interested in your work and look forward to more communication later -

Val ;-)

When dealing with spelling examples, dictionary lookup, and general use: I can see the benefit of having the body of work based on particular rules of spelling.

There is also the PersonalPuddle, a client side version of SignPuddle Online for Mac or Windows.  Easy to install on Linux too.  The import / export is for entire puddles or single entries.  These services are available for a fee or private agreement.
