The problem seems to have been with the host: WestHost. My one remaining site there has also been down during this period.
Coincidence? Unlikely: I just checked out their Forum and it is full of screaming customers (they regularly purge complaining messages though). It seems the infamous 'upgrade' still lingers....

Shak's photo album [shakil.net] was my placebo.
anyway the next adsense chq..should c that remedied...hopefully unless some new as yet unidentified expense doesnt crop up and siturb the balance of things :(
