Excuses, excuses. What can explain the gaps in posting?<\/p>\n

    My hosting company went out of business.<\/em>
    \nI’ve been threatening to write about this for sometime now, but Nobody of Nowheresville<\/a> does a better job of it, and, while our stories are not identical, his is much more interesting. It took a bit of time to get everything right again, in my case, and Optimum Online, despite other assurances, took nearly forever to propagate my new DNS info, and since I use Optimum Online for my Internet connection, I couldn’t see my own site for about two weeks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    My computer died.<\/em>
    \nAnd kept dying. I’ve got one of the most     advanced operating systems<\/a> ever, according to the marketing department, so I was a bit concerned that my computer would just constantly freeze, seemingly randomly, and would be very difficult to restart. It took me, a semi-decent tech guy, a week to diagnose the problem, which turned out to be the… mouse.<\/p>\n

    My S finger is broken.<\/em>
    \nS finger? Yes, my left ring finger that types the S and the W and the X while I touch type. But it isn’t really broken, just the nail. In a two day period of self-immolation, I ripped half the fingernail off and electrocuted my left hand. Dammit! I’m just so tired of that left hand!<\/p>\n

    No. Not really. I’m just extraordinarily clumsy. But the short of it is that I had a wad of bandages on my left ring finger that made me type dsort odf likwe thias<\/em> as I mashed the enormous digit into the keys. The bandage is off right now, so I can no longer use that as an excuse, but maybe if I pretend the electrocution did nerve damage to my hand I can still claim that I can’t type correctly, because,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
