    • Blog Database Gone

      Thanks to my itchy hand, I accidentally deleted my blog database. Panic!!! What was I doing? You see I saw an error message this morning on my blog. I logged a ticket to the web host. They were pretty fast in fixing it. I did a Google on the error message. It looks like my wordpress version is ancient and not supported by the latest PHP version. I wanted to upgrade my wordpress.

      Of coz, I ran a backup on my blog. I saw a couple of test blogs that I created and so I do some housekeeping. Without realizing one of the test blog is pointed to my current blog database. Wah lah, the blog database vanished into thin air.

      Cry! Next Think!

      First thing, I log a ticket to my web host again to ask them to restore my database backup. I am glad they did backup. Of coz it is not the current backup. They were pretty fast in recovering my database. For the cost I pay, only US$10 per year, they are pretty good.

      10 posts were missing from my blog! I have all my ads post in a word document, so only 3 posts I need to find.

      Next, I look at my Google reader, managed to get 1 post. Yeah Google reader doesn’t like my blog. I am not sure why Google only cache some of my posts.

      Calling for Help!

      I IM my favorite bloggers to check their feeder. Thanks to Sue who managed to retrieve 1 more post for me titled “Burned!”

      One More Missing!

      I search hi and lo. I went through all the search engine cache. Guess where I found my “hiking” post? Thanks to a search engine called http://gigablast.com/ , I managed to get my last post there.

      If you ever lost your blog, let me know.
