    I have put a copy of all the podcast mp3 files from PodLeaders on Libsyn today after the previous host’s server disappeared taking all my podcasts with it. Unfortunately though I couldn’t find a copy of the podcast I did with Sam Sethi last Sept/Oct. If anyone has a copy of that mp3 I’d love…

    It looks like the server outage earlier today wiped out all the comments on this blog as well as the ability to leave comments. There were over 5,300 comments on the site and now new comments on the site are coming through blank. Stripped of all info. I don’t know if this is a resolvable…

    Irish hosting company Blacknight Solutions appears to be having its share of problems today. First they lose all my podcasts, and then my blog goes off air, to be replaced by a series of error messages.

    The company who has been hosting the podcasts for PodLeaders.com has gone bankrupt, it seems. As such, all the PodLeaders podcasts are temporarily offline while I source another host. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

    Phew – it has been a long day. I relieved Pilar this morning and took over looking after Enrique in the hospital. He was very distressed for most of the day. The nurses in the hospital (The Bons Secours hospital, Cork), were fantastic and very attentive. Towards the late afternoon, though he started to brighten…

    Not alone did he lose his wife on Sunday, but his sister Bridie died on Sunday also. Dad has been my Mum’s primary carer for the last 14 months or so, since she got a stroke in October/November 2005. His whole life has been dedicated to looking after her and he did so with incredible…

    We went to the funeral home yesterday afternoon to view my mother’s remains. I must say the funeral home did a great job and although it sounds strange to say it, she looks better now than she has done for a very long time. Seeing her lying in the coffin brings an incredible sense of…
