Yesterday the instability of the computer I've been working on finally pushed me
back to troubleshooting my real work PC, as I could not stand to lose any more
productivity to the crashes the emergency box was subject to. The problem with
my real Win2K workstation is a memory leak I was experiencing with FrontPage, a
problem that persisted even after uninstalling and reinstalling the whole Office
suite. As it turns out, I have not actually determined the cause of the problem,
just a workaround, which is simply to save my work in a different subdirectory.
I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this (there always seems to be), but
it certainly defies the easy explanation that there was something corrupt in the
directory structure where I was previously saving things, since it's working
fine now, and I'm using the exact same directory as before, simply copied to a
new location. Anyway, I'm quite ecstatic at being able to work on my proper work
machine, and I'm guessing my newly learned habit of saving my work after every
keystroke might even come in handy one of these days.
Today might see some experimentation begin with some ads that are probably more obtrusive than what we're used to here. This is not a step that is taken lightly, but is essential to the ongoing survival of this site, and I can only hope that you will consider this a fair trade-off. As always, feedback on this is welcome.

Bunko, ask me if I really care.That's the whole case in one point, Halsy.
And education has nothing to do with how smart someone is. Anyone can get a PhD by kissing ass, sucking up and getting others to do your work. Some of the smartest people are those who apply themselves in other areas, rather than academia. One of the smartest, funniest people I know didn't even make it to highschool. Now he's a self made millionaire. I disagree with his politics but he's a very smart and worldly person. An automechanic may be smarter than the professor but he has applied himself in other places than the world of education. You can be smart, but not do well in school. Some criminals are quite brilliant. A degree is just a piece of paper that took you a long time to earn. It means something to people like you, who interpret it as intelligence. To others, it means nothing. I'm not saying education is bad. It can enrich your life. But some enjoy the enrichment of something other than the typical educational establishment.
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22
