bubbling enthusiasm for $arbitrary_topic
For reasons currently unclear, our internet connection is completely b0rked. It just died this afternoon, so I am reduced to using the Treo. This means no email, IM, or IRC and makes working nigh on impossible.
Grrrr. I could so have lived without this.
UPDATE: At last, it's back. Phew.

Suw, don't you understand — the universe wants you to be on HOLIDAY, not pecking out posts on your Treo. In the summer a young woman's fancy is to turn, to … well, something else. 🙂
No, no, the 'holiday' was Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday was Monday, ergo a day of work for me just like the rest of the world. I have these things called 'clients', you see, and they do get antsy if I just swan off on holiday.
