A Few Additional Notes

Only the one update (above) today. Since it is my birthday, I'm taking the day off.

On another note, four readers have emailed me saying that eWillys appears offline to them (and has for several days). Three of the four are from outside the country. My web host made some firewall changes and that might be the root cause. If you know of anyone his having troubles, have them email me. We are trying to determine just how many people are affected.

Interestingly, Pascal noted that he tried to use Google from Canada to locate the site and eWillys didn't appear in his results. So, something strange, but limited, seems to be happening.

Happy Birthday to one of the few, true renaissance men I know (mechanic, fabricator, chef, author, IT guru, baker, adventurer, friend...)!!! Plus, today's my son's birthday, too :-) Truly a great day!

ewillys was unreachable from Taiwan for 3-5 days. It is back now.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. Jim, good to hear. It seems this problem was mostly an international one. The hosting company tweaked the firewall slightly this morning and that seems to have fixed the issue. Nothing like a problem with the site to learn just how many different places around the world eWillys reaches :-)

Had a problem get to the website for the last 3 days! I know that Lewis county is sometimes consider outside of everywhere but it still in the state of Washington!
