I'm struggling along with my temporary workspace on this aging flaky secondary computer (not to be confused with my aging flaky primary computer). At least what should be a fairly quiet holiday weekend is here, providing an opportunity to rebuild one of them. I thought I'd get to see T3 at a matinee at some point yesterday or today, but I guess my technical difficulties are going to make that impossible. Damn the rise of these machines! You think SkyNet might be responsible?
