For those who tried accessing my website on January 29th - 31st, you may have noticed that the site was down. Indeed, it was. I was repurposing my webserver hardware into a Poor Man's ESX server (article to come). While the initial repurpose was quick and easy, restoring my webserver, on the other hand, was fraught with challenges, difficulties, and problems. I ultimately overcame them all and restored my website as you see before you (NO article to come, too much trial-and-error to recall the proper successes).

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Let me be upfront, I love Joomla. I've loved it since before it was Joomla, when it was called Mambo. Ove the course of the past many years, I have used Joomla on a great number of sites... some were (very) short lived, some were internal only, others were mere proof-of-concepts. And then there's this site, built with Joomla. Over the past few weeks and months, I have encountered a rather large variety of issues around my website. These issues (several of them involving multiple devices) have led me to posting a variety of forum posts which have, over time, created this disillusionment.

Not a week after writing my previous rant about my disillusionment with Joomla, suddenly, out of the blue, I am able to update it!? Not that I'm specifically complaining... But WTF!?

As the old saying goes, when it rains, it pours. So of course when I'm taking time to sort out something for images on my site, my laptop should decide to stop cooperating with me. And after weeks of (very) sporatic troubleshooting attempts, I have to resort to an old-fashioned fresh install.
