The site and my mail were down earlier today. Still working on getting the mail working. For some strange reason my mail on this new server has had issues. Not sure what’s been going on, but the fine support staff at fuzzymonkey.org have it under control.
Two more years until we have to endure olympic-sized hoopla bullcrap again. Let the hype machine commence, and let the money-circus play in a new town. Blah.
