Some of you are making your way back to GirlHacker again (thanks for returning!). The machine hosting this site went kaput (hard disk failure is the initial diagnosis from afar; you see, Murphy’s Law took effect and it blew up when its caretaker was far away on holiday so we’re not really sure what happened yet). A mad scramble ensued and most everything got quickly moved to another machine located elsewhere, but the new IP address and name server are taking their own sweet time to update throughout the vast Internet. So, some of you will see this sooner than others.

But the exciting news is that while I was suffering lack of weblog, I finally got cable modem access! I’ve only been waiting about four years since beta customers on my very block were serviced. The technician says everyone is telling him that. I am so psyched that I feel I am merely dreaming and will soon awake and find myself staring into a kermit terminal with a phone coupler. I am getting speeds averaging 2.5Mbps. I’ve been saying “wheeeeeeeee!” a lot. Anyway, thanks for your patience with the technical difficulties and I’ll be back to regular programming soon.
