We are still experiencing technical difficulties…please stand by.

While I hurriedly replace all the hamsters in the wheels that run Progressive Ruin Industries, please enjoy this fine Sluggo-riffic post from that best of all little stuffed bulls, Bully. A finer hooved friend one cannot have.

And for those of you who have expressed concern…no, “technical difficulties” is not a euphemism for “Mike is sick…again.” It actually was a computer problem. Things are on their way to being back to normal after many hours of computer hoohar and an ill-advised purchase of a more powerful disk utility tool than the one provided with the system, which I ultimately ended up not really needing, but I guess I have it now just in case I ever do. Don’t make significant purchasing decisions with money you don’t really have at 1 in the morning when you’re exhausted and pissed at your computer, kids!

But at any rate, I’m at the point where the initial problem is resolved, and now I’m just restoring from back-ups and redownloading software and system updates and just plain getting everything back to where it was, so it should be business as usual sooner rather than later.

Thanks for your patience, and I’ll see you all tomorrow.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you…”Sterling’s Law”. Good advice to live by.

    Mike, it’s time to put away your old Commodore 64 and upgrade to a modern computer. ;)

    CW – My Sinclair 1000 and I are offended at your comment, sir.

  • CW says:

    My apologies, Mike. A C64 would be an upgrade from a Sinclair. ;)

    (FYI, I’ve owned both in the past. Yeah, I’m old …)
