 20/03/2012: Fun with Files
One of the problems with a large site, is that when files go missing, it can take a while before they are recovered, simply because nobody is aware they have gone. Almost a year since our move from the disastrous data centre and 'professional' backup services, we are still stumbling across files that were omitted from the 'complete' backup tapes they provided at the conclusion of our proceedings against them.

Whilst we do have an array of file tracking tools at our disposal, even these can only do so much when it comes to tracking down precisely what a missing file should be, and in what context it relates. So, we are relying on the human element to a fair degree, still. If you access one of our resources, and it seems to be incomplete, please drop us a line to let us know which one.

Chances are it feels incomplete because it is incomplete, and once we are aware of the issue, we can take steps towards rectifying it.

Our Simone related resources are now back online, and mostly complete, greatly restoring our motion capture and motion translation resources – eleven articles were affected in total. In the process, we have determined there are still large sections of our MoCap data missing, but are still in the process of narrowing down precisely which ones. Replacements will be online as soon as possible.
