I’m happy to report dad has some kind of blood infection that a couple antibiotic doses seem to have solved. It’s amazing how big a difference that made, turning him from a near zombie into his normal self. So, another crisis averted. Onto the next one.
Ask and ye shall receive (another crisis that is) . . . for as I rejoiced over dad’s sudden turnaround this afternoon, I checked ewillys on my phone in the hospital room only to discover my webhost has once again suspended my account (3rd time in a year) for a database spike.
So, if you wandered over to the site and found the subtle “ACCOUNT SUSPENDED NOTICE”, that’s why it was there for about 5 hours today. And when they suspend it, they suspend it all. Everything gets turned off, including my email and my access to fix any problems.
The support folks at my webhost have convinced themselves that I understand some of the esoteric details of mysql programming, despite my emails to the contrary. Over the past few hours, emails have been exchanged in which I indicated that I could neither replicate the problem nor understand exactly what the problem was. Their response is ‘you have 24 hours to fix the problem’.
I’ve concluded it is kind of like working with the Idaho DMV (see post below if you don’t understand that reference) . . .
UPDATES will start about 9:00ish pm PST.
BTW, if you wander by the site this weekend and it is down again, it’s because I’m moving the site to a new webhost.
