A few thoughts:

Internet outage last night. Supposedly, I get 24/7 support. In the real world, I phone and nobody answers. And, of course, the pre-recorded network status message says "nothing's wrong" until they fix the problem. At least I could know that it wasn't my kit, Demon's DNS servers had shat themselves.

On the other hand, that's the second time I've had to phone Demon support since getting an account with them in March 2005. Stupid it may be, but I'm still happy with them.

I've watched scans_daily for a while. Most of the time it's random promotional crap, webcomics crap, or random manga crap. Just on occasion, there's an absolute beauty. This scan has moved the new Blue Beetle from "Eh, pick up the trades when I can be bothered." to "Fuck yes!"

The Blue Beetle. A teenage kid with an alien warsuit that has a... broad interpretation of "non-lethal".

Characters will resume soon, I promise. At present, I'm getting my teeth into a project. Worse, I've already done most of the light, fast games. I'll see what I can do to keep the flow coming.
