I was planning on asking my readers if the lack of an SSL certificate here at Boosterrific.com was hindering their enjoyment of the site (because Google really, really wants me to have one), but connection problems are getting in the way. Completely unrelated to the SSL question, Boosterrific.com won't resolve on my local network.

I have spoken to the hosting company representatives, and they assure me that the site is running just fine. They probably haven't blacklisted my IP, though there's still some wiggle room on that. More likely, the problem stems from my ISP. I have spoken to their representatives, too, and they admitted that there are some weird things going on with my account configuration. They seem to have lost track of my router, which they gave me just weeks ago. It's sitting right over there, but they can't see it in their system. And because it's not visible in their system, no one can tell what it's doing.

Since we can't talk to the router, even though it otherwise seems to be doing everything else just fine, there's an open question whether it might be what's keeping me from reaching Boosterrific.com. Or maybe it's something else. At this point, who knows? Isn't living in the future great?

Meanwhile, until a new router arrives and is properly configured — which I am assured will happen sooner than later — I'm locked out of Boosterrific on my home network, reduced to uploading this from my phone via a slow cellular network hotspot like a caveman!

Anyway, don't worry too much if you don't see anything else from me this week. I'll be back when I can. Whenever that is.
