Complaining about my Day
At the end of the day we're joking-around with a glass of wine & I'm telling Kirk & Kat...that all I do is UnF*ck websites. Now don't get me wrong, I love the challenge! But most if not all of the problems that I come across could have been an easy fixed IF they had kept their website apps current or could put their hands on a recent back-up.
A few more glasses of wine (ok the whole bottle) and Ta-Da! We've got a domain name and ready to create a website.
Hope you enjoy the site!
