THE BLOG APPEARS TO BE BACK ONLINE

We had a technical problem that I won't try to explain here, because I have no idea what it was. But I would not be surprised if it involved "Windows XP Service Pack 2."

Dave: This frikken thing won't let me blog!

Judi: Call tech support!

Harry: What's up, Dave?

Dave: Ever since you, ok I installed Service Pack 2 I can't frikken blog. Well, I could for a while, but now I can't! It's that damned service pack, isn't it?

Harry: Erm, Dave? That's your toaster.

Judi: I tried to tell him.

Dave: Never mind, I fixed it.

The toaster! No wonder there's no place to hook up the keyboard!

Dave,

How many times do I have to tell you that when you want to "reboot," you're supposed to turn the "wireless flat panel monitor" upside down and shake it until the "screen" clears. You then power it back on with the two "keys" at the bottom.

"neener"

Much like a toilet, the only way to fix a computer is to tighten all the parts until they break.

See Dave, while you (and I) were off partying in Vegas Judi wanted to make sure you stopped neglecting the home front so 'accidentally' broke the blog. She just wants to feel appreciated.

Judi, we love you! And the t-shirt was a HUGE hit in Vegas. If I had them I could have sold a bunch and made enough to pay for my wife's gambling jones.

Has anyone else had SP2 just spontaneously download itself and then keep trying to install itself?

Rita, Hal says not to try and stop him or he'll have to hurt you, much as he doesn't want to.
