There has been a major hardware failure in the sun.host.ac server due to which all the data including operating system has crashed. The server has been completely compromised and could not even boot.To avoid any further downtime for your website, we were forced to re-setup your hosting account in the mercury.host.ac server.Your hosting account has been successfully setup in this server and you should have received the new account details in your registered email address. We have also extended your hosting account validity by extra 10% due to this inevitable problem.Your domain name’s dns has also been automatically forwarded to the mercury.host.ac server. So your website should be up and working now. You do not need to do any more dns changes.As your hosting account has been re-setup from scratch, you will have to upload your files again to the new web space from your backup. All the data in the sun.host.ac server has been lost due to the hardware failure. We are trying to get your data from our tape backups. If any backup is available, it will be provided to you with next few days.We regret the inconveniences caused to you.Please update this ticket if you require any further assistance.

I have an extended weekend thank to the UAE national holiday and see what all greet me? Tests, Quizzes, End of Semester Exams, End of Semester Economic Crisis, Practicals, Server Crashes and the worst cold that I have ever have had the pleasure of catching. If there are two sides of a coin, then I sure as the frikkin’ reserve bank of doomsday got the one which says ‘Screw You’ on both sides.
It is a temporary phase, it shall pass but I admit cribbing feels good.
Till then
Aaaaa’chooo!

Crap. That’s a bad weekend you’ve been having. Server crashes are never a good thing, and that reminds me I’ve got to backup my photoblog’s comments.

That was wierd considering that when you had commented, there was just a single post on this blog lamenting the lack of posts here.
I am not here to differentiate myself from millions of others who may or maynot be better. Though I agree that Maddox is indeed hard to beat.
