I must commend our newest spammer for his choice in handles.
To Be A Tool is more than appropriate.

With Holo in the Mac Hospital, I'm using Kuroi, the Gateway LT4008U netbook I purchased for school just before the trip.

^{Kuroi in a Japanese hotel, taking care of serious biddness.}

At 170 dollars it's a tad slow and has no frills whistles or bells, but it is a perfectly adequate computer for school, power failures and travel.

It was a much better use of my money than the shoes.

I got home the other day and discovered that the trash on my iMac would not empty.

Additionally none of the 4 browsers would refrain from utterly locking up.

I tried to switch partitions but the computer told me that I had to wait until the trash was emptied.

This went on until last night when it occurred to me that most of the things in the trash were from an attached thumb drive I was trying to clear. I ejected the thumb drive and the trash emptied immediately.

So I tossed the thumb drive and now I'm back online.

Pixy, the proprietor of Mee.Nu (the fine establishment that hosts this blog) has some impressive goodies on the way. Look here and here.
Wow!
I'd known several of these were on the way, but the extent of the upgrade is quite surprising.

Hey spammers.
If you really want to develop utter hatred for your product, you might try spamming an obituary post.

Where memetic history is made in our comments....
...even as we achieve ignominy in our posts.

UPDATE: For some reason the Blackberry Browser does not recognize anything in the "make a post page" of Me n' You except the post title field.

Anything posted after power goes out will be posts disguised as big wordy titles.

It seems that some wondrous update from the church of teh Jobs is preventing me from ripping a DVD to get screencaps.  Well, in any event something isn't working.

As compensation for the meta-blogging here is a sweater-vest, mid-length socks, Saber and toast.

[ 18 credits + car broken into + laptop stolen( term paper on laptop ) - ( credit + debit cards) ] - available free time = Blog Frequency Fail

I curse the cold equations.

Blogging will resume within 30 hrs. In the meantime there is this.

I finished that photopost that had been languishing in draft form.

I've lost just over 20 pounds since the middle of July.

School is actually going well.

I returned today to find that the comment spammers had left their spoor during the night..........and had actually gotten into a flame war with each other.

I am currently unable to do anything with my banners due to having broken my blog some time ago. This has left me stuck with 2 uncredited banners up top.
So in lieu of adding watermarks.....

Whenever I ask "Oh good Lord...What ELSE can go wrong?", The Almighty answers my prayer with impressive alacrity.

Regrettably, I find this does not fill me with joy or reassurance.

There are a  couple of issues to deal with yet but the blog seems to be running almost normally. The rest is just tweaking.

Now I'm off to work.

Thanks Pixy!

UPDATE: All seems fixed and back to normal now. To drive that fact home, the third comment after we got up and running was shoe sales spam.
YAY NORMALCY!

We've careened the blog on a reef and patched her up. She still can't raise 'er sails all the way and her signal flags are missin' but the leaks have stopped and she's fit fer some pirating.
SO! We're goin' to raise anchor, set sail for Sydney, and keelhaul us a shipwright until we're fully repaired!*

Until then, here are some bits of scuttlebutt we've heard as we sailed the sea of tubes.:


A Ghost Fleet!
Lookin' at this chart makes me want to hit the grog.
Avast! Fishieness!
Someone needs to learn the difference between starboard and port.
All the scuuuuurvy politicking above will make ye seasick if ye can't laugh at it. Har!

This here be alchemy and such....
This sorcery either be the newest version of the South Sea Company...or it be the biggest thing since the lateen sail. (I'd wager the former, but the later would be nice)
That green bilgewater....don't pump it off!
...and keep this too!
FLYING PINTO!
Vettes on the Lex!
Armadillos be working to explore the infinite sea.

Always keep a hand fer yerself when ye are in the rigging, beware of a red sky at morning, and never ferget that the master of the Brickmuppet Blog warned ye that Puni Puni Poemi is the 57th stupidist thing in all of creation.

Fair winds and followin' seas to all ye lubbers....

_{* Or send him cheesecake...one or the other}.

This here blog is still becalmed by a sea witches curse. Scuttlin' is still an option but we be not sunk yet.

In the interim let us present ye with a scrimshaw by Watase Yuu.
