Wow Jugulum, impressive!

I was able to save a file with all your posts back to Sept. 2007 using Google Reader. If you need it … please email me at my first name and last name at gmail.com

Booyah. The timer at Google ended, and I was able to get the rest. I just emailed them to Michael, too.

If anyone else would like them, you can email me at my name at gmail.com.

OK, I’ve got confirmation from someone in the AOMin chatroom that the Cached links are still working for them. If someone reading this can take a few minutes to follow my directions above, you can get the rest of 2007 and the 2008 entries from the results page #20 and forward.

(Note: There might actually not be any more pages after #20. The first 19 pages of results say that there are 284 results. But then when you hit page #20, it says, “Results 191 – 197 of 197″. I’ve noticed that happen before.)

Michael, I just emailed you a ZIP file of all the pages that I grabbed. They’re all from 2008.

I can email them to you. It’s just a bunch of .HTM files.

No luck, BTW. I tried from another computer in my office, and it still gives me the “Sorry” page with the message that my computer might have a virus. That may be because the two computers are on the same network. Someone else should give it a try.

Hmm. And here’s some better links for the 2007 data. Michael, you have everything up to sometime in September, right? Here’s the links, broken down by month.

Sept 2007
Oct 2007
Nov 2007
Dec 2007

That way, you can avoid downloading the pages that aren’t missing.

Jug, once you get them, how do you get them to me?

Thanks so much!!!

Small snag. I got the first 200 posts (out of ~280) from 2008, but then Google detected my automatic downloading of the entries, so it temporarily disable access. It might just be on my computer. I’m going to try from another computer. One of y’all might have more luck. Start from results page #20 on the 2008 link, and go forward. Or go for 2007 entries.

Beautiful! I’ve got it!

Go grab the DownThemAll extension for Firefox.

Go to one of the results pages. Right-click anywhere in the page and hit the “DownThemAll” command. Enter “/search?q=cache” (no quotes) in Fast Filtering textbox. Then hit “Start”.

The first time, it will ask you what to do when it tries to download a file with the same name–all the pages have the name “search.htm”. Tell it to rename, and select the option that will do it for the rest of the current session.

After you do it once, you can go to each Google results page, and right-click anywhere in the page, and hit the dTa One Click command. Fast and easy!

It won’t be easy to get all the data back into the site, but at least you’ll still have it.

Right now, I’m grabbing 2008. If anyone else wants to help, try 2007. Or 2008, but start at the last results page.

You can go to Google reader’s feed for the blog and get history going back a long way… maybe all the way.

Hmm…

On second thought, the following two links are more helpful. They seem to narrow the search down to just 2007 or 2008 entries.

2007 entries
2008 entries
