For the second time in the past year, my blog and a few others with the same host have run into some server troubles. This time we were hit with a denial of service attack that led to our upstream provider taking us offline. We don’t know the culprit yet, but suspects include the Starbucks corporation, SmokeFreeDC, and Michael Tacelosky’s secret Lego robot army. Whoever it was, they could only keep us silenced for so long. Now we’re back and ready to get blogging again.
In the mean time, I was unable to receive any emails sent to this domain. Recent emails will come trickling in, while older ones will probably never arrive. If you sent me something and don’t hear back soon, please resend.

Finally. I was nearly ready to write you off as an utter failure in life.
Welcome back
It’s the robot laser cats, I tell you…
Glad to have you back. All my other friends don’t blog as frequently and thus aren’t true friends.
