Hey all,
Sorry about the delay here at GL. What an October! Here’s a summary af what happened here, as well as why GL is just getting back up and running now. I can see that we still have hundreds of visitors still visiting the site regularly, I’ll get to posting some good stuff to you shortly. Drop a comment and let me know you’re still out there, I appreciate all of you!
(Sept 27 – GeekLimit.com goes down hard)
October 2006
Oct 1 – I get back from a long weekend vacation (and 50+ mile bike ride) to find the site is still down
Oct 3 – I still can’t get into the hosting admin panel, tech support says the server is fine
Oct 4 – Home inspection, refi
Oct 5-9 I’m busy preparing for a conference I’m speaking at on the 10th
Oct 12-15 Working on final projects for 2 of my grad school courses
Oct 16-19 Taking final exams for grad school classes
Oct 20 Troubles with home refinancing, poor estimate of home’s value
Oct 22 Grandma is admitted to Critical Care Unit, obstructions and heart issues
Oct 23-28 spending spare time at hospital, obstructions OK, heart worsening
Oct 29-31 Gma admitted to ICU, heart issues worse still
Oct 31 Start new semester of grad school
Nov 1 Gma heart problems significantly better, regular beat pattern, breathing much less labored, high spirits
Nov 2 I realize that GL has been down for almost a month, and get some time to address the issues. Hosting is OK, but bad plugin preventing page load. Reinstall wordpress and ystematically disable 40+ plugins one at a time, find the culprit. Found a new theme and moved upload folder to new install.
Nov 3 Back in business!
Ever have those months where you wonder where the time goes? That was October for me. I feel completely drained by everything that went on, but can’t really point out any real accomplishments for all that work. It might be a little depressing, if November wasn’t looking so good!
Stay warm everybody, and let me know you’re still here!

Good to see GL.com back again. And this theme is definitely much better than what we had before.
Great.
