We're Back!
Wow, it's almost been a month since we went off-line. Here's what happened (if you happen to care)...
I was graciously given some extra RAM from my good friend Kyle (and a video card too!). New RAM gets me so excited that I tend to make bad choices, I know some of you can relate (Dusty). Installing RAM is an easy process, but when I turned my computer on, it didn't recognize the new RAM, only the old one. A smart person would have immediately turned the computer off, I didn't. We had to go somewhere so I just left it running. When I got home a few hours later the computer was dead.
OK, no huge problem, that's why I have a backup computer I can use as a server. Unfortunately, in the process of trying to resurrect my first computer I destroyed my other one as well. So I had two blown motherboards and one frustrated guy. I found out later that not only did my motherboards die, but my power supplies too, SUPPLIES,(to be said with Asian accent).
So I ordered a new motherboard which came a few days later. The bad news was that it came two days before we moved. So I had no time to build a computer. After we moved in I found a little time to work on the computer. I got it running before long but for various reasons, I decided that I didn't want the web site on the main computer anymore. The only problem was that I didn't have another computer. The good news was that last Sunday, we dropped in on our friends Brad and Jenny. They had an old computer they hadn't used in some time that they donated to the cause. It turns out that slow computers make fine web servers. Thanks Brad!!
All this week, when I haven't been working or running or sleeping or eating or playing with Dahlia, I've been getting the site set up again. I got it done on Friday, but we figured we should finish redesigning the homepage before we launch again, so check that out if you missed it. It's my favorite design yet.

Bpuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh! (That's the sound of me taking in my inhale in a month!) I feel like I've been holding my breath, the anticipation's been killing me!
Welcome back!
