Maybe, just maybe, some of you have noticed that I haven't been around much lately. Well, real life has made me its bitch lately. Herein lies the tale.

First, old piece of crap car dies. Off days spent trying to find a new one that will not only run but whose price will enable me to eat. Mission accomplished.

Second, evil nasty cold from working in the rain the first weekend of Halloween Horror Nights. Malaise and general crappiness the order of the day. Cold gone, back in the swing of things.

Finally, oddness that made my copy of WinDVD crash spread to pretty much everything else. Been spending the last week cleaning and reinstalling and tossing things around in a general sort of frustrated fury.

Upshot is, I'm back and ready to roll. Expect a DVD reveiw onslaught as I clear out the backlog, and expect to see me around more now that things have snapped back to normal.

I disagree. If you handled all of that with that much aplomb, you made Life your bitch in that you took some considerable knocks and stood your ground.

Kudos, Pox.

I had noticed and am glad to see you back! Wish it had been good things that kept you away but sounds like you conquered the bad.

I had a similar situation with my computer too Poxy. But this time I said, I would no longer worry about having to install and configure every blasted piece of software I needed. So once I got everything setup the way I wanted, I created a img using Norton Ghost. So the next time I have Windows frustations and general crappiness, I won't have to spend 10+ hours of off time to get everything back the way it was.

Plus I backed up 25+ cdrs worth of data. Whew! I feel your pain Poxy.

Welcome back. I hope you get a little down time to recuperate.

Bosh. This just a cover-up for your recent stint trawling the bowels Scorched Planet.

I was at HHN last Friday. I tried to look you up, but you weren't among the thirty something Dicksons in the White Pages.

What are you doing in HHN?

You should check your PMs.
