It's been a rough two weeks, for more than one reason.

I told you near the end of April that we were moving in the near future. Well, the near future has arrived, and we moved out of our home at the first of this week. Today, however, we are at a family reunion in Texas. Then, tomorrow we high-tail it back to Wyoming so we can close on the sale on Monday.

Well, about a week or ten days ago, the hosting company for the Tips.Net websites decided they absolutely HAD to do an upgrade for security reasons. They took about 12-14 hours, during which the sites were down, and when they finished they said "check it out and let us know of any issues."

There were, of course, issues. Like email not working. Like commenting not working. Like back-end processes not working. Like database access not working. Like FTP not working. On and on and on. And they were quite slow in getting things fixed.

The bottom line is that if you tried to email me a solution to last week's Help Wanted questions, there's a good chance I didn't get it. Because I wasn't getting anything! All in the middle of trying to pack up the house and a business.

As everyone knows, there are only 24 hours in a day. Sometimes a perfect storm happens, and you still need to try to get through everything in those 24 hours. There were days I was no fun to be around, I know.

I'm hoping, at this point, that things are pretty well back to normal, at least as far as my hosted servers are concerned. I guess that only time will tell, but this go-round all the hair-on-fire issues will be happening as we move into our new house this next week.

I honestly mean it when I say that I hope you've had a good week. I hope you also enjoy the tips in this week's newsletter.
