Admin: May be off line for a week 13 Feb 2011 So I am trying to transfer my blog and domain name to a new host, and am about to be without internet for a week, as I move into a new flat. These two facts may interfere with a good outcome. If things go well, you won’t notice. But things never go well, especially since there is no easy guide to this process online anywhere I can find, so I am in the dark. I have paid a couple of hundred dollars to achieve this, leaving me about $80 in the hole after previous donations are used up (thanks especially to Andrea!). If anyone can spare a buck or two that would help me. I paid for four years’ hosting, so costs will drop a fair bit once done. If things go spare, then you won’t even be able to play Mornington Crescent. I suggest you write the moves on a piece of paper and type them in when I come back online. Administrative Administrative

By the way,… Read More
Administrative Travel Diary 10: DC 27 Oct 2009 I met these guys and got trashed: I circled our next destination in red… From left, my host, Mitch Coffey, me, Mike Ikeda, and Robert Grumbine. Robert’s wife Vicki is taking the shot; and of course she was the sanest one there. Unfortunately, Homeland Security showed not the slightest interest… Read More
Hurry back. I’ve taken to posting on John Pieret’s blog for my dose of anti-gnu gadfly snark and thinking from a different point of view. Your lack of posting means I have to go elsewhere for my hit. I should check out Thorny’s blog too, he can be quite snarky and informative. Perhaps I’ve got issues? I’d love to toss some coin your way, but am a bit skint for the moment. Can’t even afford my weekly ration of amber fluid just now.
