@#$%^! Network Provider ...

The blog is back up. Everything else is down.

Our network provider pulled the plug without warning.

My colleague is trying to find a place to move our host machines.

Meanwhile I've moved the bkmarcus.com domain over here and have replublished the blog -- but the images are still on the old server ...

BlackCrayon.com is on the inaccessible box.

Knatz.com and Macrofinformation.org (my father's websites) are on that box.

CatFarmer.com -- the website of my favorite right-brained anarchist -- is on that box.

ConciseGuideToEconomics.com is on that box.

Here's the letter I just wrote the interested parties:

What terrible timing.

Nathalie and I just moved from Virginia to Pennsylvania on Sunday. Either Monday night or Tuesday morning, my former business partner (AC) and I lost access to all our host machines. Last night he informed me that our network provider has moved to Washington, DC -- without warning us!

So the machines are fine, but they have no internet access.

AC (who also moved to Pennsylvania, but happened to be in Virginia when this happened) is trying to find a new location for our machines, both physically and online. He has paying customers whose sites are now down!

If we find space, you're welcome to continue to keep your sites with me, but I'll also understand if you choose not to. I want to promote your sites by providing hosting, but I'm also a no-income cheapskate, who will probably continue to seek inexpensive deals with the kind of people who, unfortunately, pull this sort of thing without warning. I pass the savings on to you.

I will try to get your sites back up as soon as possible and I will try to get your data to you even sooner if you have somewhere else to park your websites.

With apologies and helplessness ...
