Total Choice Hosting, in its infinite wisdom, saw fit to suspend my account because of "a billing problem". Yeah, there was a problem, alright -- they never emailed me and let me know the server costs were due, nor did they ever email me and let me know they had suspended the account. I only found out when I tried to sign on to blog. I had to go ferret around and find out for myself what had happened and then it took them a day to turn the stinkin' thing back on. I have no idea what happened there as I renewed last year with no problem. They sent an email, I paid it, no interruption of service. Normally it would've just been an annoyance but, having never had this happen before, I was in a panic that all my data had disappeared. It appears to be safe and sound, though, and I've learned a valuable lesson -- do weekly backups of all entries, just in case!

At any rate, we're back in business. There are numerous things to report but I will save them for later as I'm currently being called on my promise to let John-Zachary play at Noggin.com.
