Found: The Lost Coryan Posts, Thanks Google
Good news! I’ve found nearly all of the posts from 2007 that were lost is the Great Database Debacle. I was searching the Internet for any sources that might have copies of my old posts, and I remembered that Google will often cache websites that they crawl. Sure enough, I checked Google and found nearly all of my webpages cached. With a little cut and paste, I was able to recover nearly all of my original posts. There are probably only a half dozen I could not find.
So, over the next day or two I will be entering in all of the old posts. However, I may not be able to recover all of the comments. Thanks Google, you made one blogger really happy!
[Editor’s Note: All of the recovered posts have been added to the site. However, nearly a dozen previous posts were not found. I believe I will be able to recovered some additional comments that were salvaged from my database backup. Those should be added in the next couple days.]
[Update (Jan. 21, 2008): All posts have been fully recovered from a backup that I did not even remember having. Life is grand!]

I’m happy that you recovered all of your posts! I would be really angry if all of my work was lost.
