Computer Troubles
I have no idea why this is true, but computer problems always seem to come in clusters.
I decided to switch my website host. It turns out that I didn't update my Admin Contact info first, so a bunch of emails needing responses (request for payment, approval of transfer, etc) got sent to a dead email address. Also, we changed the server name early so I couldn't get to my normal email address.
My normal email is back.
I gave up transferring the website until the Contact Info is finished updating with WhoIs.
Lisa's computer was slow so I ordered more RAM memory. The day after I installed it her hard drive went bad. We've got it at a repair shop to see if there are bigger problems with the RAM, the hard drive, or something even more sinister.
I suspect simians. Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose? (Free Gene Ha doodle to the first person to get the geeky pop culture ref).
Finally, my Comcast internet mysteriously went down for a few hours this morning. It went on long enough that I spent half an hour on the phone.
Each of these problems has been sucking away my normal work time. Then I'm heading to a Canadian convention for a week. Not getting much done this week, gah! I love my computers, but sometimes I get really nostalgic for the pre-Internet 80s.

Hey Gettis,
Looks like you've won the doodle! Considering your snowy weather up there, I could draw you wearing your Canadian tuque. A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.
And not leaving in a huff. Just not good with the form filling outing.
Hey Gene,
A month or more ago, I e-mailed you a question about a convention sketch you did for my wife and I, and I've heard nothing back. Should I assume it was lost in your server problems, and send it to you again?
