After 120 hours or so without DSL service, whatever issue that caused the initial outage has apparently been fixed. The Newted Community is back online. This server is back online.

January, 1989 Twenty years ago, I began what could be considered “my career”. I didn’t think of it as occupational choice at the time … it was supposed to be a simple, six month contract position.

I want to call out her name and have her answer back. But I can’t do that because everything is different today. My mom suffered a grade V intracerebral aneurysm yesterday afternoon.
