Isn't this grand? I just launched my site to my mailing list, what a lonely grand opening party!

And no prompt replies to my trouble ticket or email either.
Thank you for replying, misery loves company, want some warm champagne?

thanks for the offer of the champagne, but here in melbourne it's a tad on the early side...

congratulations on your site's launch, despite it not being visible to the internet public... i'll imagine what it looks like... *closes eyes* wow, i love what you've done with it!

all kidding aside, i agree that the timing couldn't be worse. i have a freelance web design site sub-hosted under my main site, and i was just about to send out a whole lot of job applications! think i'll wait a bit before i send them now.

good luck with the site, i'll be sure to check it out when we're up and running again.

we're back!
