Do you know the book, Fortunately by Remy Charlip?* My life has seemed a lot like that book for the last six weeks, especially my website:
Unfortunately, the company that hosts my website had a catastrophic server failure about six weeks ago, which meant no website, blog, or email.
Fortunately, they fixed it in about a week.
Unfortunately, my site and blog were missing pages, my email still didn’t work, and my blog kept disappearing and reappearing.
Fortunately, they let me switch to a new server.
Unfortunately, my blog disappeared for good.
Fortunately, my blog returned about a week later (nobody knows why). And it has a cool new design and background image!
Unfortunately, my email has now disappeared and they don’t know why. (Great timing, since I just gave out a couple hundred postcards and business cards with my email on them at the LA SCBWI conference** this weekend.) Update: email is back up and running!
Fortunately, I have another website for my pen name (Ani Louise), so if you’re trying to email me, please send it to: al (at) anilouise.com. I’m crossing my fingers that my sruble.com email will be back up and running again soon! Update: email is back up and running!
Unfortunately, I have food poisoning and had to stay in LA for an extra day.
Fortunately, the hotel had a room available and I was able to switch my flight. And I’m starting to feel a bit better. Should be able to fly home tomorrow (crossing my fingers).
* If you don’t know, Fortunately by Remy Charlip, you should check it out. It’s an excellent book!
** Notes soon … if I still have a blog!
Catastrophic server failure — those are three scary words. But I’m glad things are looking up and your website is terrific! I had fun checking out your portfolio and project list. Great stuff. Crossing my fingers that your email returns.
Thanks C.K.! I have email again – yay! Unfortunately, I have food poisoning and couldn’t go home today, but I’m starting to feel better, so it’s all good. Fortunately I’ll be able to fly home tomorrow.
Poor you! ‘Food poisoning’ are two more rotten words. I hope you’re feeling much better.
Thanks C.K.! I was well enough to travel yesterday. Still taking it easy with food but I feel better and am happy to be home
