Sometime early last week the database powering my site got corrupted and apparently MC Host only keeps one day of backups. Since I noticed it a day or two after it happened (I was out of town), I was screwed. Luckily, I had backed everything up myself just before Thanksgiving. Since I got crappy with them about the data loss, they blamed me for the corruption:

Also, you may want to look into the reason this has happened, which appears that some table entries are zero and others are incomplete, which may have been caused by an unfinished write from the script to the database.

I’ll be looking into that claim myself, but can any mySQL gurus make sense out of that quote?

Anyway, the magic of Google allowed me to recover the two missing posts and repost them. Not sure if that means dupes for anyone reading this site via RSS.
