- slowly trying to get back to full-time
- been blogging about the adventure since 2005.

We are back. Our provider found and repaired a fiber issue last night and traffic has returned. We are sorry for the disruption.
The Wayback Machine, openlibrary.org, and some other archive.org functions are offline because some network gear has failed.

We apologize and are working on it. More as it happens.

Status update: fiber cut between data centers - trucks are rolling. Services are slow but functional, except for the Wayback Machine, which is still offline.

Me: Oh, I almost forgot to water Chuck.

My daughter: Who's Chuck?

Me: My plant.

My wife, who should know: Your plant's name is Chuck?

Me, a little exasperated: Yes! I've had Chuck for years! Named after Chuck the Plant from Maniac Mansion? You should know this!

My wife: Ok.

In #DiceTheDemiurge, I just had my first 100+ blood drop roll. Having a bunch of ally dice pools, plus inflation on Pet dice pools, is nice.

I've been saving my blood shards, which combined with the drops now total over 700, which is the cost of a cat, which is the only Permanent pet die available.

I pressed play on Rhythmbox, and it picked up where I left off a day or so ago.

I expected it to get interrupted as it refreshed to make sure I had fresh ads.

But no, this is my local music, and there are no ads, and it JUST WORKS, and I am thrown off that I had to be pleasantly surprised by this.

The Replacements is a movie I will pretty much always watch if I catch it on TV, but watching it on TBS with Orlando Jones as a special guest on Dinner and a Movie is quite fun.
