Public Non Service Announcement

Due to what we'll euphemistically refer to as cash-flow troubles, Internet & cable telebision in the bunker are temporarily suspended; this is coming from a branch of a library somewhere in Southern California, which required leaving said bunker & walking(!) a mile or so.

Therefore, expect light to once-a-day logging in this space for a while.

Oddly enough, while the cable signal from the box is not signaling, the $9.99/mo. very basic, broadcast channels-only NTSC signal, & the QAM signal from TimeWarner Cable are as yet unaffected. But there's little on the QAM we can't get over the air, w/ the exception of The Weather Channel, C-SPAN &, f'r fuck's sake, Bravo. (Bravo? Why?)

So we'll be catching up on DVD viewing, reading & crap like that. Alternate choice: Sleeping all night, sleeping all day; nothing good on tee vee anyway.

The lovely daughter reminded me to pay the cable bill this morning.

Good luck.

Hope the hiatus is brief, MB. The whole deal sucks.

On The Edge Editor:

Not really to worry: Due to our missing an appointment, compounded by bureaucratic ineptitude & the property mgmn't. not noticing, our housing subsidy was off for a while, then the landlord insisted we pay the entire rent the last three months. (Not complaining as the co. let us slide for several mos. before. A semi-compassionate landlord, who'd uh thunk it?) Back in the gov't.'s good graces, but a few mos. behind on the cable/Internet bill, & hoping they finalize everything before 3 October so we'll have more to eat than ramen. Have dropped several kilos on that diet, so a silver lining there even.

And, we just discovered a wireless network for which THE SUPER-TOP-SECRET SECURITY CODE IS THE SAME AS THE NETWORK NAME! WHATTA MAROON!!

HA HA HA!!!

I tried to ask if there were something we could do last night but your evil blog WON'T LET ME POST ON MY MOBILE.
