Because I'm going to pimp this fact literally everywhere I can think of in a desperate effort to boost sales so we can pay the nice but very expensive people who fixed the code for us...

The <a href="http://www.sellingoutforfunandprofit.com">store</a> is finally open again!

You know if you had asked, someone might have done it for free, not that anyone is a contributor to the PHP code set or anything..... I mean glad you got it up and all, so umm, yay, or something.

We went through three separate people who said they'd do it for free, but then either didn't have time or couldn't make it work. After that much down time, I wasn't waiting around for yet another offer to fall through in the end.

The expensive solution was a last desperate resort to get the store open so we wouldn't be without funds anymore... and then it took the guy all of two days, plus testing. If anything, I wish I'd just hired Intellitree in September and gotten it over with. We'd have had six more months of income if I had, even if they are ruinously expensive.

To Omni's credit, though, the bulk of the visual redesign is his work, and he was very timely about it. It's not his fault his new job left him with no free time to tackle our shipping modules from Hell.

Well you tried so I can't fault you for that. Plus its not like each of us publishes everything we do for the explicit purpose of doing free work for Poe and Co. I just hate seeing people spend money, probably because I never have any these days :(.

Well, if you want to give us free coding, we're not averse. We have a lengthy list of non-vital things that got put on hold for the store, and we'd be happy to have some help with them.

I'm sorry, but the brief search I did didn't come up with anything.

Where's ES Vol. Uno?

Well now I feel slightly more stupid than I did before.

But at least I took two books off your hands.

It's a bit of a moot point as I've already placed my orders, but it took me a minute to figure out that ES vol. 1 wasn't simply out of stock after I clicked 'books'. I hadn't checked this thread then; that was me coming at it cold.
