I am learning a lot about the daily travails of "blogging" or being a "stand-alone journalist," as Chris Nolan puts it. You also have to be a stand alone IT expert sometimes, a stand-alone publisher, and a stand alone anything-else-that-needs to be done. That's at least four jobs rolled into one.

I wasn't handling the IT job very well Tuesday morning. I had been slowly rolling out this site over the past few days, just telling small groups of people at a time.

But traffic spiked up quite quickly and I ran out of bandwidth. I didn't notice for a while, then it took me hours to find the right combination of username and password to get into my service provider and open up a bigger pipe. So, my apologies, and I hope you come back.
