yeah, it’s silly. I thought I was dropping a table, and PhpMyAdmin didn’t ask me to confirm so expected the confirmation message from PhpMyAdmin and hit OK straight away.
Feedly are going to send me an export of my last 1000 posts. Backtype have some of the last comments. I seem to have a wordpress export file (30Mb!!) dating back to october.
So, there is hope not too much may be lost.
I’m a little concerned about the “other language” custom meta stuff. And comments. Oh well.
Back up your blogs, children.

Whats about your hosting partner? They should have a daily backup somewhere?
hehe, no comment on the hosting, the hosting is me and a friend, so I’m co-responsible for the lousy setup.
Welcome to the club. I also erased my whole upload folder by the first time I tried to update Worpress.
that’s not exactly what happened — if only it had been the upload folder! this is the whole database that I just dropped.
Too bad for the data, but the blog gained in simplicity and that’s good.
I have the data, no fear
