Ack. I'm sitting in the Fort Myers airport ready to head off to Trinidad and I'm updating my blog. Turns out that my fancy pre-departure pix that I snapped of the kids didn't make it to the blog! Drat!

Hopping on to Blogger reveals some errors in publishing. Usually the SMS messages from the Treo happily plop themselves into my blog without error - but now I'm seeing "Unknown Host" problems when I try to republish those MIA messages.

Well, I am happy to report that I will be changing hosting providers to something a little more reliable. ANRHost have done a fine job thus far, but they have been pretty lackluster in terms of domain renewal - in particular, my own domain went into "unrenewed status" without so much as a cursory email to let me know. So, I'm moving all my domains from ANRHost to 1&1 Hosting. It's about the same price, and they are a "real" operation that can be counted on for long hold times, unresponsive support and the usual bureaucracy that comes with a big-time service provider. Well, that and their interface for remote management is far superior, which includes a domain control panel and unlimited MySQL databases (gasp). Ok, well the latter isn't really important at all. But what is important is that people get to see more of me. And by me, I mean my kids - because that's what's really important.

PS. If you've never seen the bottom end of this page, take a moment and scroll on down. Look for the ping map that tracks all of you, my loyal friends and readers, and realize how small this world really is.

PPS. Ok, so I think the posting works now. And my plane is boarding.
