It is true, I am capable of reading a
calendar and I am aware that Christmas and New Year's Day were over a
week ago. I could bluff and argue that since my grandmother was
Ukrainian I am celebrating the orthodox Christmas instead, but the
real answer is far more boring.
For reasons that I still haven't been
able to ascertain, the company that hosts my blog on this site and
one of my other websites suddenly closed down their blogging program
on Christmas Eve. Because of the holidays I haven't been able to get
any solid information, so I do not know if this was a planned outage,
a cyber-attack, or just a glitch. Their website isn't acknowledging
it at all (perhaps because the staff are on winter holidays) but the
software is throwing a number of exceptions and errors.
And so my annual ruminations have had
to be posted a little late this year. Just ignore the date on them,
and enjoy them anyway. Merry (Late) Christmas!
