The Regional Directory is down because one of our servers died (physically). When we get it back from the manufacturer, the Regional Directory will be back up.
All of your entries are present (check your calendar view), but they are not appearing on your recent entries or friends pages. This is a known problem and we are working on it. (thanks to maltor & terytaya)

Microsoft Windows's secret:

Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were talking I mentioned having recently installed Windows on my PC and that I am very happy with this operating system. I also showed him the Windows CD, to my surprise he threw it into my micro-wave oven and turned on the oven. Instantly I got very upset, because the CD had become precious to me, but he said: 'Do not worry, it is unharmed.'
After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said: 'Take a close look at it.' To my surprise the CD was quite cold to hold and it seemed to be heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but then on the inner edge of the central hole I saw an inscription; an inscription finer than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth:

'I cannot understand the fiery letters,' I said.
'No,' he said 'but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what it says:

One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

latraviata showed me ....the bot I like it... a lot.

in fact... a lot fo the stuff at the plagiarist is neat... netsong is very interesting to me!

Scottobear in his meetings... the first of a maybe-series

When I'm in a meeting at work, I always have my visor handy to take notes, and appear dutiful...

Here's a couple of images I've drawn during the course of meetings in the past.

(if the links work, and I'm happy, I may post more... 2-color files, so they shouldn't choke you too much.)



How I feel in the production meeting... I'm assuming this is a pretty fair approximation.


My hand built insect-based tunnel-escape device to retreat from the meeting... note the drill bit nose, and the keen bug-insect legs...

Some more for now...

Random scribs...




Why is it that whenever I try to draw Grover, he ends up looking stoned?




My attempt at drawing Newton from memory....I like the picture, but it looks nothing like him. Maybe the logo for Newtcam?



Your garden-variety 12 sided solid.

And a John Denver song to the girl I love...

I'll walk in the rain by your side,
I'll cling to the warmth your hand,
I'll do anything to help you understand
I love you more than anybody can.

And the wind will whisper your name to me
little birds will sing along in time,
leaves will bow down when you walk by
and morning bells will chime

I'll be there when you're feelin' down
to kiss away the tears that you cry,
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found
a reflection of the love in your eyes.

And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow,
I'll whisper of the joy that is mine
leaves will bow down when you by
and morning bells will chime

I'll walk in the rain by your side,
I'll cling to the warmth your tiny hand,
I'll do anything to help you satisfied
I love you more than anybody can.

And the wind will whisper your name to me
little birds will sing along in time,
leaves will bow down when you walk by
and morning bells will chime
