twenty-eight september ninety eight midnight while you were out If you're on the webring or know the magic IP number, then you're wondering why I haven't written in a few days, and you're also noticing some changes around here at the bayou. If you get in via [old domain name], then you're reading this one or more days after the fact, since at the time I type this, [old domain name] doesn't exist. The IP number [deleted] exists, and that's where we are now. My old provider is no longer [old domain], since InterNIC has updated their master record, and what InterNIC says, goes. But my new provider goofed up the configuration on their end ... so right now nobody is [old domain]. (mouth organ, thank heavens, came over without a hitch. If there's a lapse here, I get my friends mildly annoyed; if there's a lapse there, I lose readers.) Anyway ... if it isn't corrected by the end of today, I'll be giving them nasty phone calls. Do be patient. Also - and I apologize for all this - email may be persnickety at any [old domain] addresses (still) ... and two links in the Thinking Aloud ring are broken, despite the week's advance warning I gave them. I've sent another round of email to them. Meanwhile, it's safe to say that my internet existence has been somewhat disrupted. But I haven't been idle. I have replaced Heliotrope with a much spiffier new version that does a lot more of the persnickety file maintenance stuff for me, like knowing when to create new directories. Now it really is zero-maintenance (she says, before the whole thing crashes around her head). You'll note that there are more and better ways to see back postcards now as well, should you be so inclined. I had to reread all the old postcards this weekend, in order to put them in the new format. I noticed a few things: 1. Any comments about the design of this site are doomed to be obsolete as soon as I make them. In four months I've changed the way this area looks four times. 2. In the last couple of months, I've been mentioning my significant other mostly by using circumlocutions like "significant other." I picked up the idea somewhere that I was avoiding mentioning her name - a point of style I thought I had set for myself, and was trying to conform to. But there's Nonelvis, mentioned by name in one of the very first entries, way back in June, and a couple of times since then. Go figure. 3. (In general) I'm not the most consistent person on earth. But you knew that. Emerson! Emerson!
