Maybe I should have yelled "Help me, Mr. Wizard!" just a little bit louder.

Yesterday, around 6 pm local time, I was finishing the initial design touches on my "Blog & Article Reviews" blog (you can look, but it won't do any good to look too much; it isn't close to being ready for primetime) when my demonic goddaughter punched some keys on my keyboard and whacked this blog out.

Heizzel (pronounced like the English version, Hazel) is an overly hyperactive 4-year old who hasn't been giving me any peace while I've played surrogate babysitter. Yesterday was no exception. I couldn't survive 5 minutes without being brutalized (I kid you not) by this little hellion.

But… the website blunder was my fault. I had the FTP client up, she came over and punched a bunch of keys and I didn't see what happened (files transfer much faster with this high speed Internet connection). A few minutes later, I shut down the computer because her mother came home (and it's her computer) to do her nightly thing with it. It wasn't until I fired it up at about noon, local time today that I found out by email messages from my son in Germany, Hari of Hari's Corner and Stephen of More Than Scratch the Surface that something was terribly wrong.

It took me about an hour to find out that the ".htaccess", "wp-config.php" and "favicon.ico" files had been transferred from my local copy of VideoTyme to the root directory of my website, which just happened to be Untwisted Vortex, this blog.

It's my fault for trying to get some work done, instead of sitting on my duff, and I should have been more careful with the daughter of Satan nearby at all times. Oh well, what can I say? Shiitake happens. From here on out, I need to be extremely careful. I have no idea what effect approximately 18 hours of an unintended redirection has had (other than having sent more than 200 searchers to the wrong blog).
