The End Of Coolz0r

I’m unfortunately forced to terminate my other blog, Coolz0r - Marketing Thoughts. With pain in my heart I say goodbye to Coolz, because it was one hell of a ride for 4 years long, since 2004, back when I still used to code everything in plain html instead of using a blog platform. The recent WordPress upgrade gave an error, and when I put back the backup files I took week after week, it became clear I had been backing up malicious or corrupt tables, which means I overwrote the good ones with the bad ones. I simply don’t have the time to go and fetch everything out of a search engine cache to restore it all. It hurts a little to say goodbye so abruptly, but that’s the way it is.

There’s no turning back, and it’s time to move on. No more Coolz0r. I’ll definitely remain blogging here, because my heart lays at Microsoft and I love to work for this company, but perhaps it’s not such a bad idea to focus on the now, and not on what used to be.

I’ll miss the random advertisements that you procure from the Internet mate, good work though and keep up this blog.

Cheers :-)

Récupérer Tous les Articles de son Blog Après un Plantage ou un Piratage…

Triste découverte ce week-end sur le blog Coolz0r: après une tentative malencontreuse de mise à jour de Wordpress, son auteur découvre que ses sauvegardes sont corrompues… Résultat: il laisse tomber et son excellent blog Coolz0r disparaît ! Ce…

I’m very sorry to read you are giving up !
Coolz0r was a reference for me !

Maybe you can try to automatically get back all your content with the methodology I expose here:

That’s such a shame. You always had great content when I remembered to check out your site. Do you still have any images you had uploaded? There might be a way to get stuff back.

I’m very sorry to hear that you’ve given up your blog! Your posts always gave me great ideas and new perspectives to think about. Hope you will restart in the near future (?) !

I used to get inspired from reading your blog. Like someone said before, it’s a reference. Such a shame it came to an end.

Maybe instead of recovering all the work behind, you could try starting a new blog, perhaps even along the lines of the old one. What matters now is what’s ahead and blogworthy, wouldn’t you say? Think about it.
