HostOnce.com Ate My Blog

Windows Hosting Customers using .188 for MySQL
MySQL Database server .188 has now been rebuilt for your use due to unforeseen hardware failure.
Unfortunately customers affected will need to restore their database information using their most recent backup.
MySQL access details remain as they were previously.
If you do not know your MySQL login details please follow the MySQL link within your domain control panel http://yourdomainname.com:2002 and update your MySQL password from there. If you do not have a database listed then you will need to create one via the same section.
If you wish you may also reset your MySQL Database via the same link of your hosting control panel.Engineers are now implementing a new backup system so that this issue will not occur again.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience that this issue has caused.

Translation: We screwed you. Sorry.
So, yeah. They ate my blog. I should be able to recover most of it thanks to Ian, Blogger, and Rain/Livejournal. And Ian got me a doober to auto-backup now, so magical goodness in the future.
In any case, my brother is home for a few days, so I’m going to wait until he heads back to mess with this more. I’ll update when I get around to it. :) -j.
