Notice to all site visitors:

[mandolin]

Forget future-dating this, it'll screw up prior entries. I may take jennies up on her offer to help me put up update notices.

To anyone who visits the Weird Web Page, a notice:

Web page updates will be indefinitely postponed.

This is not by my choice, mind you.

As of yesterday, I no longer have Internet access at home. Which means I can't upload stuff, and therefore can't update the website. At all. No matter what option I take to get Net access at the new place, it'll take a while to get it set up - if I get DSL, I need to get a new phone jack run, and if I get cable, I need to wait for them to run a line to the house.

I have NO CLUE when I'll have Net access at home again, so please don't ask. It's all dependent on when I can get someone to run cable or phone wire to my place, what needs to be rewired, et cetera, et cetera. Basically, it depends on the schedules of others.

I wanted to put a notice on the website about this, but I have simply run out of time. As I write this, I have two days to:

1) Pack up for Vegas
2) Get some sockets grounded in my house
3) Get the last of my crap out of the apartment
4) Clean the apartment
5) Turn my keys into the leasing office
6) Make absolutely sure some services *cough*Comcast*cough* still have my termination date on file
7) Go to a baby shower
8) Get a haircut
9) Somehow get to the Comcast lobby to drop off the cable modem that they FORGOT TO SCHEDULE THE PICKUP FOR,
10) Get to the FedEx facility to get my camera before they send it back to Canon,
11) and actually show up for two days of work.

I'd love to just take the day off and finish all the updates I wanted to, but it's just not happening. I don't have enough leave. I know certain games on my hint site need to be updated, I know certain links are broken, I just CAN'T GET TO THEM.

Anyone contacting me to demand updates will simply be sent here. Please don't take this the wrong way, I got three rather nasty "why don't you update?" e-mails this morning and one polite e-mail telling me about a game update I was aware of but just didn't have the chance to finish the hints for in time. I didn't even manage to finish the page update that said "I know this and this and this need to be updated, I just don't have the time and now don't have the FTP access" before it was time to move the computer out of my apartment.

Here's hoping I get Net access at home sometime soon.

Yay Vegas!!! ^_^

BTW, you're welcome to come by my place anytime the Net withdrawal gets to be too much. I'm only a half hour away, and always keen on visitors. Even if their primary reason for visiting is to run some updates before lack of Net drives them insane. (Besides, I need a decent rec for OS X FTP software, and I figure you're the best one to ask. And I've got burners an' portable drives an' stuff, so pretty much anything you'd need to transfer to/from the Net can be done.)

estirose pointed me towards Transmit, which is offered as shareware for 15 days - and frankly, I think it was worth paying for. You can check Version Tracker for some other free ones, but I'm partial to Transmit (and no, that has nothing to do with the name of the software company that makes it, although it amuses me).

See you tonight. I'll e-mail you the alternate directions in a minute - I need to transport juice for a baby shower.
