When It Rains It Pours on Crystal Splendor Figurines

Just when you think things are going well, the clouds open and dump a massive amount of rain on your home fire, even when the forecast is clear.  That's pretty much what has happened in the past ten days.

The first thunderbolt was a hacker who managed to attacked my personal E-Mail account and copied my contact list.  This low-life mailed a really stupid E-Mail to the list promoting a biz-opp program.  I wouldn't have been so offended if the sales letter were well written, but it wasn't.  The best I can say is it was written by an uneducated fool.  Imagine having the skill to hack into Verizon's system, but not having the skill to write with proper grammar and spelling.

The next thunderbolt was a biggie.  Malware infected our computers and destroyed several files and sections on on the main drive.  We lost several folders that contained our product images for the Bridal section on our new site.  At least were able to borrow a computer from our service rep as long as it takes to repair our drive.  I'll continue to work as quickly as I can with our supplier to rebuild our product folders.

Unfortunately, we have to reschedule the release of the new site to the end of February or sometime in  March.
