Sorry about that, folks
A Note from Mike, the editor:
If you’ve been trying to get to your favorite Times site and haven’t been able — well, we got hacked (part II of the hack we suffered last fall — we missed a couple of barn doors to close, it seems when we fixed things up).
While we’re making progress, you may see some glitches here and there for a bit — we ask for your patience. I’ve...
Moving to a new server; some delays may be possible
After a number of years, The Times is moving from its somewhat out of date server to a shiny, new speedy server this week.
While exciting for the long run — fast page loads, the ability to build in some new capabilities — in the short term you may seem some disruption of pages, problems sending emails and so on. Also, because we have to “freeze” the server, we cannot add any new...

So sick, I ended up in a local emergency room with what ultimately turned out to be a massive gastrointestinal infection. As that institution declined...
We’re back — and thankful, to you our readers
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
An artists’ rendition of what our server might have looked like moments after it crashed. Possibly a rendition overly colored by wishful thinking, of course, but it sure seemed like it to those of us scrambling to get The Times back up and running.
It’s been an interesting week, to say the least.
A little before 11 a.m. on April 14, somewhere in the...
Letter: Objects to writer’s published comments
To The Editor,
I am reaching out once again as my initial letter was never published. I was very disappointed when I read an article regarding the stalking cases surrounding Lisa Robertson a host on QVC.
