I meant to post this on Friday, but I got distracted, and then spent all day yesterday fighting with my dying net book and dealing with phone internets and much of today wandering around, so I'm only just NOW getting to it.

Hi! I'm on the opposite side of the country than I'm used to!

I'm in Portland on vacation until Thursday morning. I have wireless at the hostel I'm staying at, and Portland has a lot of free wi-fi, but, well, PORTLAND. I'll be busy going to gardens and buying voodoo donuts and meeting crazy Engligh girls who talk me into things like buying expensive toys to replace my dead netbook.

Claudia is helping Artie out with an issue at the Warehouse. Sam is a grumpy looking house cat. Vincent and Zinzi will kind of just not be around, and Pinkie will be around in human guise for the BDE, but not super-prolific. I'll be back to my usual availability by Monday next week.

Vacation, wooo!

So, I'm one of those lucky users who fall under the "so some users may have difficulties in accessing the service". Which means it can take upwards of five minutes for a ping to go through from me after I press the "post comment" button.

This would naturally happen on Pinkie's class day.

Anyway. No idea if this is affecting my other journals, but odds are, pings from me will be super ssslllooowww.

ETA and we appear to be back to normal operability. Yay!
