If it’s not one thing, it’s another it seems. Not only are we sniffling, sneezing, and all that other great NyQuil ad nonsense, but now we’re having trouble with our outgoing newsletter mailserver as well. According to my software, there’s an error… not a specific error mind you, just “an error”… Great. Fine. Called GoDaddy tech support (wow, someone answered & didn’t sound like an idiot – thanks Carlos!)… According to them, I’ve sent over 200 messages so far today… Hmmm… That would be about right if all of the attempts my software were making had actually gone through, but I know they didn’t go through or else we’d all have copies of yesterdays newsletter, right? I don’t have one, Charlotte doesn’t have one, and I’m assuming that none of you do either. Now, if I find out later that I’ve accidentally sent each of you 30 copies, you’re welcome to come by, line up, and slap me across the face with the fish of your choice… I’m going to try and rebuild the entire mailing list from scratch in case it’s a database problem, but to be honest I’m not sure how that could be or otherwise what the problem might be. If the software is sending them as far as GoDaddy, then the software’s solid IMHO. If GoDaddy is actually receiving and SENDING the messages, as they say is the case, then THEY’RE solid IMHO. So what the hell is going on?! That remains to be seen. Stay tuned, dear reader, ’cause if I’m anything it’s tenacious & I will ferret the problem out. I’ll also be extending all subscriptions by 2 days – hope that helps make it up to you!

Thanks for your patience,

Update: Alright, we should be back on track! Everyone who’s supposed to have them _should_ now have Volume III, Issue 30 & Volume IV, Issue 1. If you missed either, please let me know! Today’s issue is under construction and should be out this afternoon. Thank you for your patience!
