Hi out there!

To those of you that haven't dropped your subscriptions, to those of you that are still subscribed, believing in your hearts that I haven't podfaded yet, despite the difficult year, I want to say thank you! Thanks for waiting, or being too lazy to clear out the old RSS feeds that aren't any good anymore.

I HAVEN'T PODFADED AND STILL WANT TO BRING YOU SHOWS!

Yesterday, I finally got a chance to check the site, and start to get things going again, and guess what happened?

That's right, no site! No site, no feed, no show, not even a homepage for my host, Blogmatrix.com, and no email telling me what was up! Imagine my surprise! Had I been cut off, squeezed out? Had the company gone under after being overtaken by the competition? What the hell happened? And why wasn't I notified?

I was able to find an email address for Blogmatrix support, and sent off an immediate email to find out just what was going on here. I was also able to locate the Blogmatrix.com blog which informed me that they were switching over to "V10" and had had some problems in the process. To their credit they answered immediately, and let me know that in the changeover they had elected not to move accounts that hadn't posted in the last 60 days. This included yours truly, and thus my show, and page was off the net. However, thanks to Tim Desjardins over at Blogmatrix, my podcast was back up and running by this evening. When I came home from a great open mic night in Monterey, there was an email from Tim informing me that my show was back. I went to my page at Blubrry.com, and all was well. They even gave me hosting credit for the inconvenience, which is a BIG help!

So, if you're still reading this I want to say thanks for sticking with me. I'll have a new show shortly, and be doing my best to get back on track. Maybe even serious! I've got lots of work to do to build my audience back up again, and I'm looking forward to every bit of it! 

It’s stunning to watch when these two “things” come together in just such a way as to halt and change all your best laid plans. What was that saying about mice and men? At the moment I’m not sure which one I am as I run the treadmill of crashing computers, and a schedule that just won’t quit.

Of course, you don’t really care do you? You just want a new podcast, after all that’s why you susbcribed to this podcast in the first place, right?

On this we agree. I want a new podcast too! I’m chomping at the bit, but I have to get the machinery running again to bring it to you.

And I am. Even as we speak software is being reinstalled, and recovered. I know I’ve said it before, but a new podcast is coming. I swear, boss, I swear!

Please just bear with me as I get this sorted, and bring you another fine podcast that you’ll enjoy. Thanks for listening!
