Ok, I’m not happy. I finished my first day of work at the Ministry of Communications of Japan–my first day of work in Japan on my Mansfield Fellowship, and sat down to write a nice English blog… for everyone complaining about the headache inducing Japanese articles… Only to find the entire /public_html directory containing all my web content had disappeared..

Earlier this year, I broke down and moved the website to a hosting company when my “broadband” connection became increasingly flaky.

Now the hosting company has a catastrophic data failure.. with no backups.. and I’m still unpacking. Arg..

Well, it was a good time to clean house at nihonlinks.com anyway..
