Thanks Leon...appreciate you being proactive in getting us a new hosting service. Not sure why it's been so bad lately. I don't remember it ever being as bad as it's been the past week or so. Seems like it goes down for a few hours each day almost.

To be clear it is a new service, ie.. our own cloud server, but it is the same company. It is one of the largest hosting companies I am aware of. They bought out the one we were using. The new one is IOmart. .......we were using Global Gold....all that being said once we get on our own server we really shouldn't have anymore issues.

The rumble was felt all the way to RI earlier today! Obviously working for me now!

You posted, so "no" at the moment.....but otherwise "yes", this hosting company has some nice emails from me too. I just got off the phone with another hosting company as I am researching other solutions. I guess it's not as easy as it sounds. The one I just spoke to was called "The Planet" located in Dallas...they just got bought by Softlayer and according to the guy on the phone they do great at hardware but wouldn't be a good fit as they do 0 for any part of the set up. Still searching.

and bad tornadoes in Dallas but mostly South Dallas so far...and I am in very far north Dallas...maybe 30-40 miles from the tornadoes.....but ya'll will see some real doozies on the news. There are 18 wheelers that look like they have sprouted wings and are flying all over the place, until they crash down.

Several times between 3:30-4:00 I tried to get on and got the same blank screen. Maybe it was down for only a few minutes....or it was my computer.

No, it was the site. It's really been poor the last 5-6 days, including today.

Sorry for the site issues again. If they can keep us up long enough we will be changing hosting companies. Think of buying a car and having a ton of problems out of the block. Then the mfg says they can't fix them (or worse yet, they don't know how). You go to another car. We will be moving hosting companies and I am starting the process today. I don't mind if I eat the monies paid I don't want to use this company, Global Gold hosting, anymore. More updates later. I just want everyone to know this is not going to continue.....at least with the current UK based company. My apologies once again.

I saw a great sign in the Jaguar mechanics office

"why do the British drink warm beer?

because they have Lucas refrigerators"

Glad we are back up!

And for a bit of levity, a few Lucas jokes.....(Lucas had part in making many of the British automobiles and other electrics...., and have been known for reliability issues). I thought some might enjoy these. Also, I am making some headway on the hosting situation. The goal is to change hosts asap with as few issues as possible.

.

Lucas Jokes
Why didn't the Germans bomb the Lucas plants during WWII? The Germans considered Lucas an ally.
The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."
"And the Lord said 'let there be light'...Joseph Lucas replied 'no way, Lord, no way'."
Lucas denies having invented darkness. But they still claim "sudden, unexpected darkness".
Lucas--inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
Lucas--inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
The three-position Lucas switch--DIM, FLICKER and OFF. The other three switch settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.
The original anti-theft devices--Lucas Electric products.
"I've had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never experienced any prob..."
If Lucas made guns, wars would not start either.
Did you hear about the Lucas powered torpedo? It sank.
It's not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm's Law. They withdrew their efforts when they met too much resistance.
Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner "How can you tell one switch from another at night, since they all look the same?" "He replied, it doesn't matter which one you use, nothing happens!"
Back in the '70s Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which didn't suck.
Quality Assurance phoned and advised the Engineering guy that they had trouble with his design shorting out. So he made the wires longer.
Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas made the refrigerators, too.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone. Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.
Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and walk three times clockwise around your car chanting: "Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant."
Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency.
Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices.
In the 1980's Lucas tried to get into the newly burgeoning PC market, but they discontinued the product when they couldn make it leak oil.
Why are there no skyscrapers in London? Lucas makes elevators
Lucas Factory motto, put in a good day's work then home before dark.
Why is there no death penalty in England? Lucas makes electric chairs.
