Nope, not back yet

June23

I know, I was supposed to be back online by Wednesday past, but it just didn’t happen. And it’s still not happening. At the moment, I’m on a borrowed machine on a borrowed connection, after J had some interesting conversations with the General Manager of a nationwide telecommunications company. He promises us a solid connection … but only in two weeks’ time. So, if anybody out there has sent me an email, you’re out of luck. Our borrowed wireless internet connection client only works on Windows and, with a few tweaks, on Mac and I am — of course — on Linux. Curses.

Still, I should have Chapter Seven of War Games up on my site by the end of today and Chapter Eight will appear the day after tomorrow, with much apologies and bowing and scraping.

With the exception of dozens of boxes still littering every room of the house, life in Lotus Street is starting to look … well, let’s just say that if you could see to the horizon of a forseeable future, it would look kinda nice. Apologies are also due to JoSelle and Maria for running so late with the June Radio Free Bliss interviews that it won’t be June any more by the time I get to them. So much for having boundless faith in human resources and high technology.

Gotta go but will probably drop by with a quick entry on Wednesday, just to let you know that I’m still alive and that War Games is still serialising.

    Hi K!

    I figured this was going to happen when you told me you were moving. –so no worries there.

    You might want to write someone at Samhain though. You’re up for a blog post on 6-25-08. This Wednesday!

    Good luck. Hope you’re moved in soon.

    This is like my worst nightmare come true, Kaz!

    Hope you’re back soon!

    Hiya ladies! Thanks for the reminder, Maria; knew it was sometime this week. Think I can still make it, if the wireless gods are on my side.

    The big promise is for a fibreoptic connection to our house in early to mid-July. Being the geeks we are, we couldn’t resist! Y’know, Dayna, now that I’ve been “off the tubes” for a couple of weeks, I’m strangely reluctant to get back on them again. Human nature I guess. But I’m slowly getting back to “write the damn story” mode, so that’s good. I guess.

    Actually, I know the feeling. I’ve only been ‘offline due to real life’ for a few days, and every time I look at my laptop I think…meh…it’ll be there tomorrow.

    So, I’m just hoping to find a good balance.
