This site was down for much of last night due to a one-two punch. My cable modem's company had an outage that disconnected most of their Los Angeles customers from the Internet for about ten hours. At the same time, the separate company that hosts this website was switching over to new servers. So I couldn't get on-line to update this site and even if I had been able to, it wasn't there.
Everything seems to be operational at the moment but, for an hour or so there last night, I was really baffled, trying to figure out if the problem was that the cable modem wasn't working or if it was because my hosting company was malfunctioning. First, I thought it was one, then the other…then the first cause, again, back and forth. It took a while to figure out that both were malfunctioning at the same time. Ah, the wonders of the Computer Age…
