Downtime last night

Sorry about the unexpected down time last night from 9pm to 4am est. Apparently our host decided to make life difficult for us again. That will never happen again after about 5 days. THANK YOU for your patience.

New website work continues

I never realized we sold *this* many products - that is until I started taking all new pictures of every item and reviewing the descriptive text.

Things in the new site you can look forward to:

Fully SECURE checkout - as in all of the checkout is secure, not just the payment part.

A ton of new products to include: some amazing new acrylic plugs with fun designs, new woods in the wood plugs department, sculptural talons and all sorts of other fun stuff.

Instant ordering for our one-of-a-kind items (no need to email us first)

Affiliate program (so you can earn generous credits on our site to buy whatever you want)

Instant gift certificate functionality (You receive the certificate and the receipient can use the code on the website to pay for their purchase)

And of course... even MORE product customization options

Be sure to sign up for our mailer if you haven't already - we'll be distributing discount codes from time to time that only subscribers will receive!

YUCK!

So, here we were, working on a brand new site for you, getting a secure socket layer for the new checkout, doing well, making progress...

and WHAM!

Our web host happens to make a few critical errors when making these changes - so if you were wondering, thats why we were down for the past 2 days... the LONGEST consecutive downtime for the entire history of maelstromstudiolab.com how uncool is that?

Fortunately things got straightened out with the help of our amazing sysadmin advisor, Axis, and our fearless CEO was able to get rid of a great deal of stress by attending the Front 242 concert on Friday evening.

The online credit card transacting thingy was down due to a timestamp issue, but that has also been fixed - and everything is back to "normal".

Wow, what a freaking week...... thanks for hanging in there!
