You may have noticed that some recent posts were missing from Nuketown; that's because for reasons unknown, the MySQL database that drives the site became corrupted Tuesday afternoon. The database was unrecoverable, but I was able to restore from a recent (5/26) backup. As for why the database went south, I can't say though I'm planning to ping Dreamhost tech support to see if there were any database server glitches at the time.
The missing articles have been restored, but unfortunately the comments are lost. Feel free to re-post them or launch into entirely new rants/suggestions/heretical complaints.
