Buu Nguyen's Blog

Upon writing a new blog post today, I recognized an shocking truth: the provider hosting my blog during their database migration had somehow cleaned up all of my blog’s posts and comments dated after 1/8/2009. Since I trusted my provider in their infrastructure, I did not do the backup job well myself so I did not have anything to repopulate the database.

Luckily, Google’s cache made it possible for me to retrieve the text and posted them again with an adjusted timestamp. As for the comments, since there were many of them and yet not all of them could be found in Google’s cache, I had to leave them for now. Therefore, you won’t see any comments dated from 1/9/2009 to around June 2009 (when the migration occurred). My sincere apologies to those comments are lost due to this incidence. I myself feel very very bad about it. I will work with the host provider in a last attempt to find way to recover the comments. If that doesn’t turn out right, I will find a new provider. And I will surely backup my blog frequently in the future.
