I've restored the comments and feedback page functionality to this site by creating a new MySQL database. Frankly, I was tired of waiting for my hosting provider to fix the problem, which has been dragging on for over a fortnight now.
Unfortunately it does mean that all the previous comments that were made have been lost, but if they are ever able to get the old database back then I will merge the old comments into the new database. I'm not at all happy about having lost the comments but I'd rather have a fully-functional website. The whole episode has been a complete nightmare and I just want to get back to normal now.

Hey, nice one! Glad to have you back...
Thanks! And thanks to your groovy backup script I should be able to stay back...
Let me be the first to welcome you back to the world of blogging so welcome back, it's been far too long! :-)
Thanks John, it's good to be back!
Welcome back John. I lost my dad on Apr 26, 2004 and still have the occasional tough time. We had a 2 month break in Europe late last year, which was great and increased the desire for more. Some pictures at: http://www.pix.myquickref.com
I'll be interested to read more about your experiences with Ruby. I'm a hard core C++ (ex. C) guy myself.
Thanks Neville. I'll certainly be blogging about my experiences with Ruby, so stay tuned!
You should have at least updated your old feed stating that you restarted your blog!
Anyway, welcome back to blogging. I am myself on hiatus for quite some time and I will be rebooting my blog soon! :)
Thanks JD!
Actually the old feeds should have redirected to the new ones but it's obviously not working very well. As well as fixing that I also need to configure Apache so all the old permalinks work again. I will get around to doing this stuff!
I sure like checking out all the blogs, yours is a great one.
