Some people have been complaining about one month of inactivity. They are right but I have some good excuses. First of all, I needed to put some order in my private papers, neglected since FIVE YEARS. Done. Then, this blog site needed a software update and it scared the hell out of me. Done all backups, studied the instructions over and over again and finally just did it. Unless I did not see the disaster in front of my eyes, seems it is working. So, unless the sky falls on my bloghead, I’LL BE BACK and with a vengeance. Just hold on.
We lost our server of the main website and mail system in the US for several hours this week because some clever worker dug up and cut the fiber cables in the area. The blog remained on line – being on a different server in a different location. The ISP (HostMySite.com) at least was so nice to send a report with apologies including pics of the cable being repaired; the CEO remained with the repair crew, well that is something people can learn from here: 1) communication with the clients 2) transparency 3) hands-on top management 4) no meetings with speeches and lots of tea drinking to decide what to do.
That also explains why I stick to that company instead of opting for a cheaper hosting: you get what you pay for. You can even call them up and a REAL PERSON will answer the phone.
