As advertised by my host, IX Web Hosting, we were only off the air for a short while. Less than a day by my calculations. So now I can regale you with more nonsense.

I’m getting ready to change this site to newer servers at IX Webhosting. So if we go offline for a couple of days, you’ll know the reason why. Hopefully, all will go well and we’ll be offline only a short while.

Looks like my host repaired the FTP issue. Now it seems like everything is slow. It took 33 seconds to load the write page. Does it seem slow to you?

My host for this blog is having difficulty with its server. I tried to upload a modification to the index file for the theme I was using, but the server wiped it out. Now the theme renders a blank page. So I switched back to an old standby until they get it fixed. (bb this is the entire post).

I recently upgraded Subscribe2, the plug-in that supports email subscribers to Major Mike’s Musings. With short posts, subscribers will get the entire text to the post. With long posts or ones in which I insert a “read more” break, subscribers will get a partial post and must visit this blog in order to read the whole thing. Thank you, subscribers.UPDATE: Evidently, the hack I had on this blog interfered with the sending of these email notifications. I’m working on it.

This site was hacked and hijacked by EmN. I have been away from monitoring Major Mike’s Musings for a few days so I don’t know how long the site’s been down. I had to go directly to the database to delete the hijacking entries.

Thanks to some periodontal surgery I had today, I’m just kickin’ back, watching TV, reading, and playing on my computer. I’ve upgraded my local blog, which is my test site for this one. The WordPress latest version is 2.2.1, but I’m not having much luck with some of the sidebar widgets–those things that display the content in the sidebars–so I haven’t upgraded this blog, yet. I’m also playing around with new themes. None are exactly what I want, so I’ve had to do a little programming. Anyway, that’s how I’ve been killing time today since I’m not allowed to do any heavy lifting or sports for the next two days.

I changed the theme of Major Mike’s Musings from P3Orion (a theme I created) to Tiga by Shamsul Azhar. I hope you like it. I needed a little more territory on the sidebars, so I went with a three column layout. I hope you like it.

I just upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.1.1. The task was complicated by my Internet provider, Comcast, having some intermittent trouble providing service. So, if any of you tried to access this site during the last couple of hours, sorry. As you can see we’re up and running again.

For those of you who have been trying for the last two days to enter comments, I apologize. I had recovered a backup of my blog from a local server and neglected to change the server address to the public one. Dah.
