[ frangipani ] [ a life in tokyo ] [ photoblog ]

So excited!: Found a new manhole here in Tokyo, just up the road in Musashi Koganei. Isn't it gorgeous!

So NOT excited!: My gallery got totally corrupted and I had do a fresh install from the beginning which means I have to re-name and re-annotate 100's of manholes, many of them reader-submitted. It will take a long time, but never fear. The manholes of Japan gallery WILL be rebuilt.

Have you thought of the google cache to restore your datas ?

Here are pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

I could as well easily do a script to extract from those web pages only the usefull informations, and represent these datas in a way they could be easily imported... If you're interested, let me know, I'll be please to do this for you and this part of your site that I really found so omoshirokatta !

Everytime I look down and see one I think of you...a manhole that is

Thanks for the lovely birthday wishes...aslong as I keep myself away from weird womens health after 30 related websites (those things are just freaky) I'm feeling pretty good about the 30s

Sushi, cheers!
