This is an update about the state of counterjumper after the move to Media Temple and the status of data recovery.

• Media Temple gridserver seems to be working well, except for the occasional disconnects from the MySQL server. I hope they resolve this issue soon, as it can get annoying when it happens during a post.
• I have managed to recover most of the lost data from search engine caches. I am really impressed with how extensively Windows Live had cached all three of my blogs. Google and Ask failed miserably! Windows Live has definitely gained some respect here. From this experience I would rate Windows Live caching way ahead of the competition
• Blogcrew has been transformed into Blogindex, and will continue to be a list of blogs I come across. I am also thinking of releasing the code for blogcrew as a plugin for WordPress
• I have created a Learn to Draw group in flickr. This group is mainly for people interested in learning to draw as a group, and sharing their work as they take on the lessons from DRAWSPACE
