Digg.com must be the most powerful weapon in the universe (no exaggeration). Not only did it bring down the site, it burnt out the drive!
Working on resorting mysql databases (unicode problems), imagemagick compile, new php build etc etc
I know that many of you have landed here from digg – if you like all stuff japanese/life+photos from japan/anime/gundam/figures/mac stuff etc then check back soon when the server should be up n running.
For my current readers, thanks for being patient with me and I love ya all.
If you sent mail, resend it to me directly as the mail server is now up.

Unbelievable… I feel lonely without dannychoo.com~. Take your time and come back with full strength. Good luck!
September 9, 2007 at 7:04 am |
Whoa, your site managed to bork my site XD
My RSS feeds were acting up and for some reason the page wouldn’t load past the RSS code.
I never thought your site would go down in a million years @_@;
Good luck with the restoration process, it reminds me that I should keep a backup of my own site/database =/
September 9, 2007 at 7:19 am |
wow…you just got hit by Murphy’s law , “Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong”.
Looking forward to your comeback.
September 9, 2007 at 7:27 am |
I hope you didn’t lose anything important. All the best in recovering your site.
September 9, 2007 at 7:36 am |
amazing, can’t believe it fried your drive though.
September 9, 2007 at 7:51 am |

September 9, 2007 at 7:57 am |

September 9, 2007 at 8:12 am |
Hey Danny, was wondering what happened to your site yesterday. anyway hope you’d be able to restore your site soon. wishing you the best.

September 9, 2007 at 9:06 am |
Cheer up otaku kids!
September 9, 2007 at 9:45 am |
And I thought it was due to more typhoons (you never know!). I’m already missing your blog.
I just hope you will be able to get everything in order soon and that you will recover most if not everything.
We will be there, waiting! So no worries.
September 9, 2007 at 10:00 am |

September 9, 2007 at 1:20 pm |
It’s hard to see your site down, even i started to blame to my internet company before your web site of why i can’t enter.
And welcome again to the wordpress.com comunity : D
September 9, 2007 at 1:56 pm |
omg Danny. I hope the site will be up soon. This is disaster!
September 9, 2007 at 2:24 pm |
Wish you all the best in getting your site back up. Digg.com = sux0rs. Too bad for all the lost data and the fried hdd. Do you have raid configured? If not, maybe it’s time to consider setting one up?
September 9, 2007 at 2:24 pm |
ouch…this sux…i was wondering whether it was my ISP’s problem…lol
u need a disaster recovery plan danny ^_^;
September 9, 2007 at 2:36 pm |

Btw, really miss your site XD.
September 9, 2007 at 2:46 pm |
Hopefully you’ll be back soon, looking forward to it!
September 9, 2007 at 3:06 pm |
WTF A MILLION!!!! I MISS UR SITE TOO!!! T_T
1 day no dannychoo.com = 1 day of boredom!!
September 9, 2007 at 3:23 pm |
Ohnoo..
Good luck in fixing the site ^^
September 9, 2007 at 3:47 pm |
I miss ur site!
Take your time recovering everything, we can wait.
Good luck!
September 9, 2007 at 4:08 pm |
It’s nice to see you’re still at it. I thought the site got hacked when I checked it last night only to find the Plesk help desk page. o.O
Digg is like Slashdot…one of my friend’s sites got Slashdotted about a year ago and shot up from 0.9 GB bandwidth consumption to his max of 30 GB bandwidth consumption in just a few minutes. *_*
On the note of your hard drive problems, I think that you should put together a data security RAID on your server. That way, if a drive fails, you still have another identical drive as a backup. I just bought a server for myself with a data security RAID and it only costed me $1000 for a Core 2 Quad (2.4Ghz) with 2GB DDR2-800 and 2 500GB Sata2 HDDs in a mirrored RAID.
I’m thinking my next investment when my blog starts getting me some cash is a fiber optic card and a faster internet connection. ^_^
Well, I hope you can get the site back the way it was without too much problem. Cheers, man. I love what I’ve seen of your blog so far. I Just found it a few days ago and everything I’ve read so far is nearly exactly how I think. You are like an older, more successful version of me–I’ll get there soon enough. Maybe in a few years I’ll be in Japan with you eating McDonalds in a Typhoon. lol.
September 9, 2007 at 4:08 pm |
gambatte, Danny!
Good luck fixing the site.
Compiling all that stuff can be a drag, I know all about it…
Hope to see the site back soon!
September 9, 2007 at 4:31 pm |
May the force be with you danny-san 😉
September 9, 2007 at 4:31 pm |
T-T………good luck Danny.
We’re behind you.
September 9, 2007 at 4:49 pm |
Good luck to you Danny, hope your site goes back on soon…it will make otaku around the world happy, including myself ^-^.
September 9, 2007 at 5:28 pm |
Nao! This was one of my favorite places to stop by on a regular basis.
I feel as if my day is not complete! Gangan danbo-san!
September 9, 2007 at 6:19 pm |
mm… this always makes me wonder… what the life after dannychoo would be like…
September 9, 2007 at 6:28 pm |
Came here the other day when I realized your site was down and seen “main server dead” and thought Oh @#!%. Was going to send you mail -something I refrain from doing because I know your mailbox is always full just like your schedule- but thought Oh @#!%, mail server will be down too.
Oh what a mess… I wish I could give you some help Danny. I know you feel the urgent need to get things back in order. It would be the same with me. We love ya too, not going to run out on you.
Starting to think it’s an insult to get digged. Hope you can get some of that 3 day data loss back.
Good example for everyone. Any site can go down, so make sure you back up. Luckily for us and Danny, he does backup.
September 9, 2007 at 6:44 pm |
Hang in there!
September 9, 2007 at 6:52 pm |
Whoa, sucks to hear Danny. As others have already mentioned, I hope for your best and take whatever time you need to get your site back up and running at 100%.
September 9, 2007 at 7:01 pm |
go go danny!
September 9, 2007 at 8:11 pm |
: ( Not good , but hey Danny im sure your site will be back soon enough and better than ever!

September 9, 2007 at 9:00 pm |

I wish you luck.
But just remember: “Don’t worry, be happy”
September 9, 2007 at 11:37 pm |
