Posts made during working hours from my part will probably be scarce in the next couple of days, as my ComputerWorkStation (a 9500 PowerMac) seems to have bit the big one today. For four years I’ve been working with this hard-disk which I lovingly dubbed Stinkfoot. Today it decided to permanently make like a tree. As if that weren’t enough, no less than three workspace server disk volumes also got fried on the same day—it must’ve been the 33°C conditions, as described earlier, that did it. The late server-volumes were named (and I ask for a minute of commemorative silence here): BongoFury, UncleMeat and MuffinMan. We’re currently hoping for the back-up system to resurrect their content. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust…

TRAGEDY!!!
When the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on.
It’s tragedy!
When the morning cries and you don’t know why…
I’m so sorry for this loss, Barry. Hope she’ll recover soon!
One tragic happening heaped upon another! I am so sorry Barry. First the World Cup, then this! I will burn a purple candle and some cinquefoil, but I think it is too late!
Thank you so much for that BeeGees lyric-snippet, Dr Sharl. It was just what I needed… Funeral of the hard discs is to take place next saturday, please do attend. No flowers please…
ps: um, DebK: purple candles? This wouldn’t have anything to do with Schubertpopcicles would it?

Oh no, no, no, we’re not going there. Besides, that was SuzyC’s um..prediliction, shall we say? Purple is merely the color symbolic of renewed electrical energy….Yeah! I thought is was appropriate!
How did you like my html? I know, it doesn’t seem like much, but I am very proud!
DebK
DebK: love your html…
Thanks, I just got it altered. In that case, I shall continue my colorful escapades. As long as you don’t mind!
