A Brief Hitch in Time
Apologies.
Irish KC hadn’t gone away you know. It’s just been having an enema.
My webhost took down Irish KC and more of my sites yesterday, without notification. As the day progressed the customer service then deteriorated from that lofty position, and eventually my email was also suspended.
Yes I know what you’re thinking - with friends like that, who needs enemas?
So I’ve decided to stop supporting that local business in Topeka, Kansas, and have moved Irish KC (and the others) to BlueHost who have always done a great job with my American Hell and in my experience provide customer service second to nobody.
Anyway, regular readers will notice that the posts and comments from the last 4 weeks are missing so I guess I need to increase my backing up frequency. There are other things missing also, but I’m working at patching them all in. Hopefully I’ll get close to everything back in place.
That said I’ve worked solidly on this move for the last 18 hours give or take a late night dog walk, so I’m taking a break now. And so is the dog. Oh, and yada, yada, yada. We’ll talk later.
UPDATE: I’ve started re-posting lost posts. I’m not doing them in order; I’m doing them as I find them and as they are missed by people coming to the site looking for them. Of course I don’t have any of them - I’m getting them by trawling through cached Search engine results pages.
And if it looks like I’m messing around with comments and even posting them as somebody else - it’s because I am. But I’m using the original text and amending the timestamp to the original also. This is not a website where the organiser pretends to be an ordinary reader commenting favourably on things he agrees with and disfavourably on other genuine and dissenting commenters.
There were around 100 posts lost. They will not all be found and re-posted. Similarly, alas, many comments have been irretrieveably lost. I do have all comments ever made, except a few by myself. Sorry. Feel free to re-comment your original sentiment before I repost it, and see how good your memory is.

Well, it’s hard keep a good man(’s site) down, as they say.
Ah, there you are! Nice to have you back, mister. You’d gone all aqua-marine there for a while.
Sam - And it felt like I’d gone a shade purple around the temple area. And I don’t mean Templemore.
Primal - More frequent back-ups would of course make it harder. And, as if I needed another lesson in trust, I’ve learned not to.
I can see you now, Eolai! Thanks for the reassurance while you were in cyberlimbo.
Great - thanks for persevering Martha. We’ll be motoring along full steam into Paddy’s Day stuff soon.
I just looked away to make a ‘Nutty Irish Mocha’ and twas like Sumtin’ like an aneurysm ! everything was gone. But then I had my Mocha and all was well again with the Eolai. As the Euros say Eolai,ole, Eolai, Ole, ! Keep it suas XXEd.
