Greetings people. Y'know, during my years here on Earth, one thing I've found is that sometimes, where everyday technology is concerned, once one machine packs up, several other tech-items that you have come to rely on will do the same. In my own case, the Sonic Chariot has been in the car-clinic for most of this week. Numerous problems under the hood need fixing, which won't be cheap.
Now my main computer has decided to mutiny too, and I'm writing this from another machine. I've cleared out a few viral-nasties recently (courtesy of anti-virus app Avast! which I can heartily recommend), however I'm left with one central problem - I can't access this site, or that of my webspace provider. Not sure why this is yet, but it feels strangely specific, even personal I have to say. I've even managed to lose the charger for my mobile phone and am currently using an enormous Nokia from the Cretaceous era until it shows up or I give in and buy a new one. So one way or another, the machines are indeed revolting, and doing so in battle formation. Stay tuned for more war reportage.
