If LiveJournal could’ve waited four more days for their money, I’d have uninterrupted paid access to that service. Unfortunately they wanted to bill me on the 31st of January… and I cannot afford that.
Timing and luck. The hallmarks of my life.
(At least they emailed a reminder beforehand or I’d have really been in a world of financial hurt.)
In anticipation of the descending hordes expected for Double XP Rewards Weekend in City Of Heroes, NCSoft released a patch containing a number of fixes. (One wonders at the use of the term “corrected,” however. Looks like a euphemism to me.)
Not to be outdone, another organization seems to have patched their operations somewhat as well. I’m sure there’ll be an outcry about nerfs and balance-breaking changes, but we’ll see how it plays out…
It looks like MGK got his website back after it was completely obliterated during the linkfest he spawned by skewering a number of sacred cows beloved SF and Fantasy novels. (Yes, this means that the links in this old post work again!) Turns out that he went back for a third round… check it out, won’t you?
Recently I Twittered (tweeted, whatever) about the sudden disappearance of the JamesBurkeFan collection of videos on YouTube containing the entirety of “Connections” (1, 2 and 3) as well as “The Day The Universe Changed,” my favorite educational series of all time. Turned out that YouTube pulled the videos at the request of the publisher of the upcoming new boxed set of “Universe Changed.”
Oh, by the way? My birthday is coming up…
Alan Carre, the man behind the JamesBurkeFan collection, stopped by a couple of days ago to let me know that he’s back on YouTube. Awfully nice for a guy to follow me back here from Twitter, I think! Check out his page, say something nice, and patronize the folks offering the boxed sets if you can. I particularly recommend the original “Connections” and, of course, “The Day The Universe Changed.”
Holy guacamole. I first posted to a journal on the greyduck.net domain seven years ago today.
Time flies when you’re having fun. And by “having fun” I mean posting memes, silly links, pictures, videos, rants, raves, ramblings, memories of youth, memories of my kids’ youth, trials, tribulations, triumphs, and tripe.
Here’s to much more of the same, friends. Thanks for reading.
I’m reasonably certain that even the “invisible man in the sky” believers among my (tiny, tiny) readership will find this webcomic entry worth a chuckle or two.
(Tip of the hat to Jack Cluth for the find.)
