UPDATED: Internet Status
As best we can determine, our internet connect appears to have been corrected - we will be resuming our normal operations today.
We will maintain an hourly assessment of our internet connection and hopefully we will have smooth sailing!
Thank you for your patience!

Previously Titled - UPDATED: Experiencing (Very) Problematic Internet Issues Today
Actually for the last 48 hours…
Brazil is not known for their sense of urgency so our apologies for the sluggishness of our publications for now and for however long it takes for the technicians to get their job done.
We are experiencing VERY sluggish connections, when we have a connection.
There have been times we have to wait 5 minutes for something to be saved, publishing always results in multiple attempts.
When they will correct this only God knows.
UPDATE - 2 Oct 2025
Not getting any solid answers to my questions as to what is going on - mainly because it appears no one really knows what is going on.
It appears when they fix one thing and something else breaks - I’ve worked with large servers as a consultant and it appears they are trying to band-aid everything so to get everything up and running instead of fully assessing what is going on and coming up with a strategy that will resolve everything.
São Paulo, Brazil (the state we are in for the moment) did have some very strong gusts and winds with some rain a couple of weeks ago - steady winds at 60 with gusts hitting nearly 100 mph for nearly 3 hours, which is far from normal for heavy winds here.
As for our internet connection, it is consistent but the velocity very sub par, even in the middle of the night. Meaning something is causing a lot of resistance in the lines and/or some transformers and switch boxes are damaged.
We are expecting the balance of the week to be a slow recovery…
Meanwhile, we will post what we can when we can.
Thank you for your patience…
