Sigh. I don't MEAN to go a week between blogs. It's been Wars, Wars,

Worst. Mistell. EVAR.
Sigh. No blogging for a week. Not too much to say. I have been deep
into WARS, having the usual one-week-to-go panic attacks, and, when not

For you older geeks out there...USENET firsts
Today's random thought I decided not to post to a mailing list because it was even more off-topic than usual....
