I've been accused of being addicted to blogging. While I feel that these daily entries *do* provide some therapeutic value, similar to keeping a journal, or relaxing in a hot tub, I honestly don't feel "addicted" to them. So I've decided to abstain .. for a week: seven grueling days of doing without my blogging fix. Long enough to see what will happen. Will I turn into Mr. Obnoxious? as some predict? Or become irritable, like the smoker deprived of his smokes? Will I become belligerent, like the alcoholic separated from his sedative? Or will I simply find a new creative outlet? We'll see. Before I go, I'd like to say thanks for all the letters of encouragement. While I don't have time to respond to each and every one, I do read them all. Many of them make me laugh my @ss off. You folks are funny. This past weekend brought a particularly bountiful batch of kudos. Here's one of the kinder examples: Of all the help I've found on the net, you've become the one I go to first. You deserve some thanks. Probably more than that. The personalizing sealed the deal. Just the other day I was trying to master Norton Ghost, and stayed on your site for a while. Usually I try to get the job done quickly as possible, but I just had to know where the steep slope link went to. That of course led to the adventures with your family and friends, and I was off-task for a delightful half-hour. Ghost failed miserably for me. But instead of asking you, I'm going to where you pointed me. (FYI, I got "Missing operating system..." error at boot-up). But don't help me - let me do it myself. I found your site by browsing a year or so ago. I probably entered something like fdisk, or format or delpart, definitely in Google. I, we, live in Cleveland Ohio. Me, her, and the youngest two of four. Last year we sailed out the Erie Canal, down the East coast, the ICW, and into the Bahamas for a year of home schooling and adventure. But now we're back in Browns Town, winter comin' on fast. If you're ever here and want to go sailing .. I splash early and take out late (Dec. 1st). My son is in LA going to AFI (American Film Institute). I'll send him the link to your daughter's stuff. Again, thanks for being so generous. Riley B. Wasn't that nice? (I added the links.) I've gotten similarly generous offers from people in 11 or 12 different countries. Maybe someday I'll tour the world and take them all up. See you on Halloween. (I'm twitchin' already.) Oh, one more thing. Alex sent word (from the Netherlands) that he released an updated version of Motherboard Monitor (v5.3.5.1). |

It's a shame that spam is now appearing on weblogs, as it does already in email. Viagra and gambling :( How do they do it? I didn't think you could automatically submit data through a form like this. Oh well.
