Another one…
… bites the dust.
Well, I survived the hurricane/tropical storm that hit us, although it took this long for the lights to come back on so I could get my Internet fix once more. Let me just say that I have never appreciated my GBA SP’s 10 hours of battery life, or the AC/DC converter I bought for my car, as much as I have the past few days when we had no electricity or water. Things are back to normal more or less now, though. I hope.
A quick update on the whole sitch with Natalie’s mom: She’s out of the hospital, finally, and doing a *lot* better.. thanks to everyone who’s been asking around after her. 
And finally, I just wanna link to this rant by Jon Rosenberg, of Goats. Goats is the first web comic I read several years ago, and thanks to it, I discovered the wild and wolly world of webcomics. I now read like 30 or so webcomics regularly, and I add in a new one whenever one catches my fancy, and Goats has always been among my top picks. So he’s posted up a rant about how much those webscraping Visual Basic scumware programs that snag the webcomics from author’s pages suck, mentiuoning that anyone who can’t or doesn’t want to visit the webcomic’s page itself is welcome to use their RSS feed which they gladly provide, and encouraging other web comic artists to provide RSS feeds as well to take away the ‘reason’ the people who make these programs give for distributing them. It’s a pretty good rant, and I do agree with just about everything he says, so here’s the linkup.
