Operations Note

I’ve noticed the last few days that the blog has been responding sluggishly on its public side (i.e., when I visit it and load a page). After investigating it, it seems that the holdup has been in the calls it is making to other pages (e.g., to truthlaidbare.com’s eco-system or amazon.com). For some reason those sites aren’t responding as promptly as they usually do, and that’s slowing down how fast my blog loads.

I don’t like that, so I’ve temporarily turned off the eco-system and Amazon links. The site seems to be responding faster now. I’ll leave them turned off for a few days to let the other sites get back up to speed and then try putting them back up again. Thought I’d mention it, though, in case looking at the adorable little rodent image was one of your favorite things to do on the blog or you had been planning to buy one of the recommended books but hadn’t gotten around to it yet. They’ll be back. 🙂

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  1. I think there’s another round of attacks against big sites like amazon.com. I know that doubleclick.com, a big advertising site was getting pounded yesterday, and the attacks may be causing other sites to run slower.
