The first day of week.  Start of the day is nice. It took me just a few minutes to install my blog.  Since last few years my domain was hosted with dreamhost and they blocked the account with which my domain was hosted due to some viloation of policies. They never cleared what was that. The account belonged to my friend and past colleague Naveen. He helped me out the get the backup of my domain. I was quite busy with work when dreamhost provided the backup and I just downloaded the wrong DB backup. Which mean I have lost all the efforts, post, and everything.

Anyway, Its a new day and a new start.

Cheers,

Ameya
