My apologies to those of you who tried to tune in to verbatim today, only to be greeted by old news. It wasn't my fault, really! Bad, Typepad, bad!
For the most part, I've been very satisfied with TypePad, who hosts my blog. They've had a few power outages here and there, but nothing ever affected me for more than a few minutes here or there. In November, they sent out an e-mail to all TypePad users, hoping to make up for any service interruptions in the previous month. They asked us to choose what level of refund we each felt we deserved:
- While the performance issues caused me some inconvenience I mainly found the service acceptable last month. Give me 15 free days of TypePad. (This was the default option, and the one I chose.)
- The performance issues made it very difficult for me to use the service on multiple occasions during the month. Give me 30 free days of TypePad.
- The performance issues affected me greatly, making my experience unacceptable for most of the month. Give me 45 free days of TypePad.
- I really wasn't affected and feel I got the great service I paid for last month. Thank you for the offer, but please don't credit my account.
In truth, even though today I've been unable to post anything new to verbatim, you've been unable to read my last week's worth of posts, and you've been unable to comment, I still feel that TypePad provides good service. Here's hoping they get the rest of this mess cleaned up soon, like my outdated sidebar lists.
Welcome back, partner in FoodTV-bashing. You were missed today!

I often get rather down on Blogger and then I start thinking that I am getting what I paid for. (nothing)
I did pay for my flickr account. It was the best thing I ever bought on the net.
