Unhappy New Year Message From The Editor

Just Another Blog™ tech hard at work.

As none of our viewers/readers have offered to send us a nice new or "pre-owned" devil-box w/ at least WindowsXP Professional (hell, we'll settle for the home edition) & an ethernet card (oh, forgot that the audience consists almost entirely of mental defectives looking for titty pictures & "wife spanking" advice, or mental defectives w/ neither income nor spare computers) leaving us stuck w/ a slow-running Compaq Deskpro 2000 & dial-up connection, which makes it almost literally impossible to search the web or compose any cute little items, we are putting this "blog" (Big Load Of Garbage) on hiatus/indefinite leave, until we can get some of the electronics here @ The House of Bouffant© restored. (Also as a gesture of solidarity w/ our striking brother & sister typists in the film & telebision industry.)

Compaq Deskpro 2000 on which we currently rely.

There is a bit of hope: Intensive Internet investigation has revealed that the CMOS battery may recharge itself if we leave the vprmatrix devil-box on for 24 hours or so, & the Deskpro's sloth may be due to not having the proper driver installed for the hard drive. ("Compatibility-mode paging may royally fuck up your entire existence," to quote Microsoft.) Of course that will involve opening the fucking thing & pulling out the hard drive to determine its manufacturer. Considering that we can barely drag ourself out of bed & into the "living" room on a good day, that may be sometime in the far future. But we'll be thinking about it every so often. And by this time tomorrow the CMOS battery may be rocking & rolling again, meaning that we'll have to set up all the crap we didn't keep a record of, & who knows how that'll work out.

If we're never heard from again, we may have fried ourself & the Deskpro. BZZZT! If not, you'll have heard about it elsewhere. Just look for "spree killer" in your favorite search engine.

TTFN, & a Hippie New Year to all!!

P. S.: If you're still desperate for something to read on the web, make use of the Just Another Blog™ bogrolls [sic], & check in at Fire Megan McArdle, where we've been neglecting our duties. Maybe we can vent some of our hate, rage, pain, & fear on an easy target. — M. B.
