ashes to ashes, dust to dust [:P]

YIPPEE!! me back to being aquitaine!! my baby!! my first blog!!

okki, okki. lemme explain. i had been blogging at this address for the past three years. then, in january this year, for some reasons, i decided to delete this blog that went by the name of 'who am i'. i thought it was over after pressing the DELETE button. but no, more was yet to come. my blog got stuck on the web, in some database. i had switched to blogger beta in august and only the posts after that date got deleted. the rest of them were still there. and i could do nothing about it.

then, in the intervening 5 months, i began ruing my decision. not the deleting part. i just wished i had retained the address. but with the blog still stuck, i couldn't reclaim the address. i started a new blog but it wasn't the same as being aquitaine [:P]!!

all that changed yesterday [:)]!! i finally decided that i wanted my blog off the net for good. so i thought i'd write to blogger support. but therein lies the rub. coz if any of you have ever tried to actually find a form on blogger which would enable you to contact the blogger people, you know how hard it is. at every step, you are directed to look in the already existing help pages or in the google group. but the solution to my problem wasn't in any of these places.

so i used the login problems form [:P]!! i told them that this was the only mode of reaching them that i could find them.

this morning i received an email:
Thanks for writing in. I have deleted the pages you requested. They should no longer be accessible from the web, although some search engines may hold cached copies for a short period of time.

oh yeah!! i had done it!! and the next moment it struck me that i could reclaim my old address. which i did!!

so 'who am i' is back!! i wouldn't say 'with a vengeance' [:P] coz i'm still not sure if i want to continue with blogging. but yes, it sure feels good to be back [:)]!!
