S60Tips.com was down for a couple of hours today.
Here is the story: I want to delete one of my site from GoDaddy.com’s control panel. Unfortunately, I made a big mistake. Instead of deleting that particular site, I DELETED S60TIPS.COM FROM MY ACOUNT! Such an idiot….
I was in a panic mode for a couple of seconds. Then I realize that my blog has gone… I called GoDaddy.com customer service; hoping that they can recover my database. They said that they can try to recover from their backup system. It would cost $150, which is expensive; worse there is no guarantee that they can fully recover my database. If I am lucky, they can recover the backup from last month.
Well, since the option from GoDaddy.com was not that good, I decided to restore my own backup, which is a few months old already.
That’s why; I want to say sorry to you. Some of your comments in the last 3 months may have been deleted. Some postings from June - July 2007 may also have gone. I’ll try to re-write some of them in the next couple of days.

Update (07-Sep-2007): Thanks to abhista who has provided me with the offline contents of my blogs. If you see my old postings re-appear in your feed reader; that’s because I re-posted them.

I think some of fellow readers reading your blog might use offline rss readers. Would it be possible that they might have copeies of posts stored in their pc?
Anyay, I enjoy reading of your blog. just want to say thank you and keep up blogging.

You can try to recover the text content using the google cache.. Something similar happened to me once, and I fully recovered everything using it.

Thanks everyone… I’ll try to use Google Cache. May be I can still recover some of them.

I am using Google Reader as my RSS reader, and I still have the archive of this blog from April to the last post. If you need them, I can give them to you.

Hey Antony,
I emailed all the missing posts (and a couple of extra ones, sorry about that) to your gmail account.
Hope that helped.
