Thanks for the ping. My productions down a bit because we've had thunderstorms lately and my main computer has spent a lot of time turned off. Looks like we're going to be back up regularly now though.

That's something this experience has taught me: machines have to be constantly monitored and programs rebooted for a variety of reasons. It was happening before but I didn't really notice it.

Four of my machines are on UPSs, but the other four are only on surge protectors. Whenever the power goes out (three times this summer so far) I have to do a whip around and reboot. Then for no explanation at all, the FAH program itself will crash on this machine or that machine and I get to choose whether to send Bill Gates & Co. a message. Then my wife or one of my kids will shut down a computer after using it and I won't notice for six or eight hours.

I feel like that guy whose schtick is to keep ten plates spinning atop ten long sticks.
