With Her Help, We’ll Get Through Somehow

Jane Galt is writing what I know we’re all feeling about the great tragedy.

Certainly, the world will never regain for us that quality of hope and magic which it once had, but with the passage of years our pain will ease. No matter how improbable it may seem to you in this terrible time, someday you will laugh again.

Hey, she’s right!

She managed to lift my black spirits, and make me laugh today, despite all.

Belay Those Links, Me Hearties!

Avast, all, it’s “Talk Like A Pirate Day“!

But they weren’t prepared for the deluge, aaaarrrr, and it flooded one of the servers.

Due to the extremeley [sic] high load, we had to take the site down. We have several paying customers and their interests had to come first. I’m really sorry, next year I will definitely have a bigger server.

The Official Talk Like a Pirate website might still be running.

Here’s a search of Google for Talk Like a Pirate

Seriously, I had no idea this website was going to be so popular! Thanks again to everyone who visited.

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day,

Old Salty Dog

Well, swash my buckles.

Start bailin’, ye scurvy sea swine.

Virus Alert

I hope that most of my readers are smart enough not to have to be told this, but if you get an authentic-looking, official-looking email from Microsoft telling you to install the attachment with the latest security updates, DON’T DO IT! I’ve gotten a couple of them in the last day or so (and I’m sure my filters have trapped many more).

Never do it. Microsoft doesn’t send security updates out by email–you have to (and should, on at least a weekly basis, apparently) go to their site to do it.
