Sorry for the
long outage yesterday and today. Unfortunately, my web hosting
provider messed up my IP (site) address and it took me hours
to convince them it was on their end and to get them to fix it
(when something goes wrong its never their fault, but 100% of
the time it is their fault). Now I am exhausted from all the
fighting and recriminations. I will do my best today but will
probably fall asleep at the keyboard.
