Can you get it from the WayBack Machine? I've found a lot of "lost" stuff there.

Holy goodness. I knew it was bad back in Dec when I moved to Server Intellect but I had no idea it was this kind of craziness. Glad to say I found a company that knows what true customer service is. Wow this is unbelievable.

I do not own an iPhone, but as soon as they get off the pot and put a real camera with a real flash in the thing, I am on board. That said, I approve of, I second, and if you permit me, I third your mild rant about usablity. Moreover, how about clean _functional_ designs do indeed "delight." My recent experience with Pandora.com is one such example. When music.yahoo.com sold out to the corporate b'aches and go rid of my customized music station, I was left searching for something. Pandora, recommended to me by a cooworker, was just what the doctor ordered. Within a few minutes I had created a custom station filled with my favorite artists. What is more, Pandora participates in the music genome project that in effect takes your tastes and compares it to similar music from lyrics to tonal quality to arrament and hundreds of other "music genes." Not only did I get heat my age old favs, but I got suggested somethings that I had NEVER heard that are just fantastic. And all for FREE in a simple, strait forward, easy to use web interface. Hear hear to usabily, and hear hear to functionality.

Hey, this explains a lot of things that had happened to me. I really appreciate the airing of dirty laundry, so to speak! Will you get your data back?

It's more likely that he has some kind of Google Alert set up for his name. Not that your blog isn't awesome :).

Good luck getting the data back.

I never dealt with anyone but Mark. At the very start he was very helpful and helped me debug a few sort of complicated issues with the custom Community Server installation I had, but he generally took a more hands-off approach with me later on. I might have not noticed this as much because I'm a pretty technical person and if someone won't help I don't mind fixing it myself if I can. I was also getting a really good deal, in my opinion, so I was willing to trade features for service since I was paying very little.

You get what you pay for in spades, it seems.

I'm no psychic but I saw this coming in December. Ultima's service dropped rapidly so I pulled my business from them. That said, if I was going to choose sides I think I'd default to whichever side James is on. In multiple cases the dude bent over backwards to help me with very difficult development issues, including actually doing some sql CLR development and never even implying a charge was required. James + 3, Mark -2 in my book.

Wow. I mean...wow. Frankly, I'm not even sure what to think of this. It's sad (you lost your data) and it's funny (how messed up do you have to be to create this kind of conflict in a company?).
