Oops
Apologies, but I have computer problems this week and posts are likely to be thin on the ground. This one is being written on a very strange machine in an internet cafe. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
Goes to show what happens when you use computers GOB – joking!
It’s not the week for it. Poor old Candice Proctor – though she’d be a spring chicken compared to the GOB – of ‘C.S. Harris’ blog in New Orleans is having her silicon fruit badly misbehave this week also.
Also, it goes to show that your commenting friends only love you when you give us a substantial post. How many hours back did you drag yourself to the internet café and bang your meagre chicken scratch out? And I’m the first? (I love you all, really I do, even Raymond.)
Bwahahahahahahahaha! If we total the hours spent implementing, maintaining and upgrading the little darlings it would be a net loss against the utility and sufficient cause to inflict grievous bodily harm upon BGates! A top-down tool the load is carried by us bottom-feeders! That being said, how many other 68 year old people have the capacity to deal with the damned things without blowing a 9mm hole into them? Hang in there, Michael, you are not alone~!
Oh dear, oh dear! Have been away and find little to get back to. Never mind, my husband and I have been reading GOB's excellent book "Passionate Affairs" while away. I doubt anyone will believe it is written by a woman (Ann Moore) but so what? What a read! I can tell you, it must be good for my husband to read it. (He only usually reads thrillers.) I am a worried old biddie! I am having to be extra careful reading the e-mails I send out, and other jottings where I mention Michael's website. I will keep missing the 'l' out of blog! Not pressing the key down hard enough? Or? Or maybe I had a premonition — could this be 'the very strange machine' that Michael is forced into using? Or maybe the place where the machine resides at this peculiar cafe?
Fucksake, this has gone on long enough. Do we have ot organise a whip-round to buy you a new computer? I mean, is this what it's come to? If so, put me down for a quid.
Yeah, put me down for two quids. I'm having withdrawals, literally. I've got two spare machines sittin' right over there.... As much marketing as is done on this buggers, the state should be providing them, especially in socialist UK! I'll pop off an email to Gordy, straightaway! Maybe you could prove immigrant status for a grant!
For a gorgeously funny novel about ghostwriting - (especially for GOB because its humor has a cousinly resemblance to Marina Lewycka's GOB-endorsed "A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian") please, please grab "Cooking with Fernet Branca" by James Hamilton-Paterson.

ReplyDeleteTold you that you should have gone and upgraded to Windows 95 :)
ReplyDeleteI'm comforted in the knowledge that Homeland Security is no doubt following your cafe use.
