When Tragedy Strikes

Hi all,

Yesterday I got an email from a Community Contributor. It seems that his blog had been lost. And what a loss it was. The blogger, John Muchow, is an engineer who used to work for NetBeans. His blog, Mac Developer Tips, is a valuable resource for NetBeans and Mac users. If you've looked at the NetBeans Community Docs wiki, you'll have seen John's three contributed screencasts. These were real treasures indeed.

After I heard the bad news, I wrote a blog entry about it. It seems it was a little premature. John was able to salvage a lot of what was lost. Some images may not appear, and some screencasts may not play, but the blog is up and running again.

Please show your support and appreciation for John's Mac Developer Tips. Visit the site and even consider sending an email to John. Let him know how much we appreciate his efforts.

Thanks,

--James

Thanks for the support James! I will have to relay in a post on the blog about how I was able to miraculously recover so quickly. One part google cache, a bit of browser cache, commercial software, a little luck and a lot of focused, heads-down rebuilding...

There are still some holes, however, much of the content is back in place.

Thanks again for the support James!

~ John
