All,
My website hosting company had some problems with the server that hosts Useless Science, causing the site to be down all day yesterday, 10/29. I also noticed that two posts I made on 10/28 have disappeared and are probably not retrievable. If anyone else posted something on 10/28, it may be lost, as well. I emailed the customer support team of the hosting company to ask it the 10/28 material can be retrieved, but I am not very hopeful.
It's doubly frustrating, because it means that one of those posts I wrote (regarding my herniated disk) had to be rewritten four times (and I didn't keep a copy elsewhere).
The other post that was lost was an announcement of the death of Jungian analyst and author James Hillman on Thursday, 10/27. He was 85. I will try to rewrite one or both of these lists posts.
Apologies for the inconvenience. I think everything should be working normally now.
Best,
Matt
