Letting the domain name die

Just got notice from Yahoo that the Propagandasifter.com domain is about to expire. I just haven't had the inclination to continue blogging lately. Too much time playing Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, and The Orange Box on Xbox 360. So, henceforth, you can find entries here at propagandasifter.blogspot.com. That is, whenever I decide to start blogging again....

On Vacation Thru June 9th

Going to Hawaii (again). This time heading to Honolulu Monday - Saturday. Chance of blogging while I'm there: slim. Please pay us a visit in mid-June, or better yet, subscribe to email updates --->

Mahalo.

Sorry for the delay in posting...

Blogger decided my blog was too similar to spam, so they blocked me for a couple of days while a human had a look-see to verify my smut was actually authentic. I guess I passed, so now I'm back.

Having Technical Difficulties

You might have noticed I haven't been posting much lately. My computer seems to have gotten bricked by a particularly nasty trojan. I've tried everything, and I do mean everything, short of just re-formatting the hard disk and re-installing Windows.

Shortly after booting up, my computer loads my personal settings, then hangs eternally, showing my background of Banksy art (incidentally, I never knew he was so prolific).

Fortunately, my information has been sufficiently backed up. Now I just need to wait for the system disk to be shipped from eMachines. I won't even go into that. Suffice it to say, I'm paying $20 for a disk that should have been included with my machine when I bought it.

I've had Shaman (my desktop -- yes, I name my computers. I'm a dork) for around 2-3 years now, so I'm not surprised it finally had a mental breakdown. Fortunately, I'm not in the middle of any major projects.

And in a stroke of luck, my awesome fiance recently bought me a brand spanking new laptop (who I have christened Noirling). It was just in the nick of time, evidently; but it's not so simple to type on a laptop. I have to admit, I'm spoiled by my Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. Typing on a flat keyboard just seems alien to me now.

In any event, I should be back up and running within the next week or so, but will be posting sporadically until then.
