[CT] Re: What happened to QoA?

[Dan Moran]

Sorry about that, guys. The site got hacked last week and I reset all
the passwords after locking the hackers out. I reset everthing on
LakersTalk correctly (same server) ... because it's the playoffs and
LakersTalk is very, very busy right now.

QOA's not so busy and is more complex (it needs to be a separate COM+
package since it runs both ASP & PHP, which IIS doesn't like to do) --
so I didn't fix it the night I spent at the colo getting LakersTalk back
up. I probably won't fix it until this weekend.

There is a nice picture of the WTC up there now, if you want to go look
at it. :-)

Amy just joined the Lori Perkins agency as an agent -- the site will be
coming back up again, since she wants to use it for some of her agenting
work. Also we're going to be doing "A Freeway in my Back Yard" soon --
possibly as an HC, but not as a limited edition -- the site'll be back
up for that, too.

I saw the thread last week about what the hell was going on with me and
was I dead. I'm not, though I feel like it some days. I changed jobs and
we're moving to Santa Barbara -- a new job with a great company and a
great place to live -- I'm talking heaven-on-earth-caliber great place
to live -- but we're not moving until the kids are out of school. So I'm
commuting about 3 hours a day -- falling into bed when I get home,
dragging my weary ass up every morning. Once we move things will get
better.

I did send "Old Man," the Ola Blue story, and "Strings" to Asimov's.
After I sent it I learned Sheila Williams was taking over from Gardner
-- so God knows when I'll hear about those stories.

"Old Man" got the best rejection letter I've ever received, bar none --
editor at Esquire wrote back that it was brilliant, wrenching,
remarkable ... too long. I knew that when I sent it to them, of course,
but I was hoping that the brilliance and wrenchingness and
remarkableness of it would wear 'em down. No such luck.

      QoA used to reside on Unix a long time ago.  However, 
Dan does programming using Windows tools that he wanted to 
employ for the site, so a Windows host was a better choice 
for his particular needs.
