There are some technical issues with the site today. Bear with me!
COME BACK, THREE DAYS!!!
Functionality…or not….
I, and at least two readers, have noticed some weird things happening with the functionality of this site the last few days. I’m keeping an eye on things and may have to escalate to a service ticket with my web host if things don’t settle down. I have updated the site’s PHP version and have flushed the cache a few times, so hopefully that will bring peace and calm. If not, persons responsible may be sacked.
Carrying on!

Problems of the Tech Kind

So there’s been an intermittent problem with WordPress sites hosted by Ionos, of which this site is one. And the intermittent problem has, in fact, affected this site! Yay!
What happens is that only the front page loads, and nothing else. If you try to load a specific post or go back in the archives, you’ll get one of those “This Domain Is Owned By Someone” screens. So far I’ve had this happen twice and both times the tech whizzes at Ionos fixed it in minutes, but I’m told today that this is a larger issue that Ionos admins are working on solving, so I have to assume it might happen again until the full repair is made.
If you notice that you can’t load a specific post, or the archives go nowhere, please let me know and I will contact Ionos Support as soon as I can.

(Maybe this is my problem…I always skip the exploratory taps….)

New newsletter!!!
Twenty Years of Sheila O’Malley!
By the fall of 2002 I leveled out and I felt more like myself. I sat with Allison in a speakeasy, I set a newspaper on fire, and I started a blog.
I miss those days, when starting up a blog just seemed like…something possibly cool to do for a bit, on a lark.
Here’s to twenty more!

Hopefully the last of the Placeholder Posts!
Holding patterns please….
New laptop, who dis?
Yes, I have a new computer. I’m still in the process of playing with it and getting it set up for my ongoing productivity (ahem). More to come. In the meantime, here’s ABBA, because…ABBA.
Regular posting to come, I swear!
(The Leonard Cohen thing will almost certainly be postponed again….)
