For your information (FYI):

This problem was caused by an outage at our data center. There was no hardware or software error on the server; but the server was found "powered off" in the data center; but of course it was not a proper shutdown; so the only explanation is either (1) was removed from power or (2) switched off.

It was the abrupt powering off of the server which caused our database to lose around 30K records (posts and thread) during a busy time; but we have backups and database logging in place, so we were able to recover around 99.99993 percent of the records.

Before the records were restored, there were links to our site to threads and posts which existed before the records were corrupted; and it took us a few hours to insure we restored the database property; and so it has been restored to 99.99993 percent .. which is not bad considering the chaos in the data center.

I'm still trying to get to the bottom of what happened in the data center where our server resides; and we will be making some decisions soon about moving the server to another data center; or we will seek strong assurances from the existing data center for better service in the future.

So far, I've not be satisfied with what I'm hearing from the data center management team; and I am quite angry about the quality of service from our server provider.

Note: I worked over 18 hours restoring the data; and am pleased we could recover all but a small handful of records; which is great considering the data center chaos and our server just losing power (in some mysterious way the data center cannot explain).

(At the moment, I'm a bit exhausted over the entire event... )

NAME
Net::Google::Code - a simple client library for google code SYNOPSIS
use Net::Google::Code; my $project = Net::Google::Code->new( project => 'net-google-code' ); $project->load; # load its metadata, e.g. summary, owners, members, etc. print join(', ', @{ $project->owners } ); # return a Net::Google::Code::Issue object, of which the id is 30 $project->issue( id => 30 ); # return a Net::Google::Code::Download object, of which the file name is # 'FooBar-0.01.tar.gz' $project->download( name => 'FooBar-0.01.tar.gz' ); # return a Net::Google::Code::Wiki object, of which the page name is 'Test' $project->wiki( name => 'Test' ); # loads all the downloads $project->load_downloads; my $downloads = $project->downloads; # loads all the wikis $project->load_wikis; my $wikis = $project->wikis; DESCRIPTION
Net::Google::Code is a simple client library for projects hosted in Google Code. Since 0.15, Net::Google::Code offers google's official issues api support. Besides the new "Net::Google::Code::Issue::list", "Net::Google::Code::Issue::Comment::list" and <Net::Googlel::Code::Issue::load_comments> methods, which use the api from start, you can set $Net::Google::Code::Issue::USE_HYBRID to true to load, create and update issue with the api too. But the official api is not function complete yet( e.g. no attachment support, can't merge, etc. ), Net::Google::Code will back to the scraping way to accomplish those stuff. ATTRIBUTES
project the project name email, password user's email and password, used to authenticate base_url the project homepage base_svn_url the project svn url (without trunk) base_feeds_url the project feeds url summary description labels owners members INTERFACE

None reported. BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
No bugs have been reported. This project is very very young, and api is not stable yet, so don't use this in production, at least for now. AUTHOR
