Where were you?

To those dedicated fans that tried to log on this past Sunday afternoon only to find the website was down, I apologize. The simple reason being that I moved the site. If you look carefully, you will notice it's down and to the left a bit.
Actually, what I did was move all my stuff downstairs. Something I've been contemplating doing as the room where the computer was gets really hot and isn't really condusive to housing computer equipment. It also meant that I could take a trip out to the local computer shop to buy stuff. Doesn't really matter what (in this case it was wireless stuff). It's just the opportunity to spend money on toys and then to come back and set them up. Puts a smile on my face.
But with every silver lining there's a big black cloud waiting to piss down on you. And in this case, it was the turn of the flat pack furniture. Worse than just assembling flat pack furniture is attempting to unassemble it, move it and then re-assemble it again. The initial assembly struggles with the fact that tab A will not fit into slot B and that you seem to have too many G screws but not enough H screws - but still you manage to figure it out. The unassemble, move and re-assemble process results in the fact that tab A easily fits into slot B, but it now flaps around as the hole is now somewhat bigger than the manufacturer intended it to be. Screw G has just fallen onto the floor and the cat is now chasing it across the living room. Still, the right amoung of shouting seems to have done the trick as we're all back up and running with tables that resemble tables. Nothing's collapsed yet anyway.
