downtime 5-29-2013
we were down for hours this AM. Not my fault of course, I will be moving us to another host soon, after I move all my clients

Hey now, would you believe I figured the fault wasn't yours, Fan?
Would you also believe this is the first blip since early April?
IIRC that one lasted longer than today's though.
Anahoo, folks, during any down time don't forget about the FF Lifeboat at

It's still set up so you need to register and log in before you can read and make posts. So far it's just me and Doka there, along with a couple other folks with unfamiliar handles that may or may not be members here (they haven't posted anything so it's hard to tell) -
If not, I've invited them to join us (would you believe up to now I had neglected to provide a link? I never thot anyone would be interested in joining the lifeboat WITHOUT being members here!)
Last but not least, mucho gracias for all the hard work you put in for us here Fan

No worries. I bought a new server today that will hopefully be better. I don't want more than 1 hour of downtime per month, and that should be late at night or early in the morning. Any more than that is unacceptable these days.
I pay these jokers double what I could pay for a cheaper host, and they give me worse service and don't answer my emails.
Another of my servers with them was also down, but that one makes many thousands of dollars a day in sales for clients, so I was getting sweet emails all day about it, I would have been getting many more if HALF MY EMAIL ACCOUNTS WERE NOT ON ONE OF THE SERVERS THAT WAS DOWN.
OK, sorry I needed to rant a bit. These are first-world problems, I realize.
