On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

Okay, so here's the issue: my regular MacBook Pro has a cooling fan problem. The replacement's been ordered, but I fully expect that to take a week to arrive via the post office. Possibly longer, but miracles have been known to happen despite the war of sabotage waged by the right-wing parties of the USA and Canada against our respective postal services. (Yes, I wrote that. I believe it to be true. If they sue me over it, they won't get much in either a judgement or settlement because what I have ain't worth much. Even on eBay.)

That aside, the day-job search will be slower than usual in the meantime, since the backup machine has its own issues. Hardware bottlenecks in particular - I suspect RAM and CPU limits of a ten-year-old machine - mean checking LJ out for job leads, gossip, and mental health news/advice (among many other things) will be...problematic for that next week. This can't be helped. So I'm likely to be logging into LJ from public library terminals in the meantime.

Just so you know.

More as it develops...

With specific allowance for co-ownership by the company that makes Spam® the luncheon meat to the tune of 50% (should that company express any interest/concern over the matter at all)?

I am claiming the phrase "Russophonic TobaccoPorn Spammers".

Discussion of other topics will resume later today!

...I hope you all got out to vote today, and that you got proper confirmation of your votes.

Feel free to consider this a political "open mike" post.
