but are you talking about reviving Mister Pointy and putting him on shriftweb?
John and I had put together a version of Mister Pointy ages ago, and I just got around to updating it for the reformatted site once I learned about John deleting his site. (Thus the "So I'm a slacker." rebuttals.)
Because John's said he's going to put it onto www.rebeccalizard.net. Should I tell him to stop?
Definitely not! No, no. There can never be too many Mister Pointy incarnations. Having a local one on the site is cool, and having one the world can know about is even better.
I'm not understanding what's going on.
I deleted my post because I was diddling with the code trying to fix stuff, and broke Mister Pointy. (Kendra rolled over in her grave, I swear!) I didn't want Buffistas wandering over and encountering error messages when using Mister Pointy, and the only available link was from Bureaucracy.
I would have been more verbose, but I was flailing around in error-message-land.
However! Mister Pointy is again working. Either I did something right (doubtful), or a masked man in black saved my arse (more likely).
I would like to clearly and unequivocally state that the current monkey movement is a distinct and independent (though no less vital and compelling) effort from the former monkeypants faction whose victory was cruelly tainted by the migration, and whose efforts involved flamethrowers and underwear.
However, in keeping with the ineffable truth that monkeys are inherently funny, I applaud the efforts of the monkey movement.
I'm probably voting for popcorn, though.

For the record, I did get a valentine today, and I also got one yesterday. And Shawn Choo, Choo, Choosed me, and there was a train on it.
Now, now. Leave the man his penguin dignity.
Yeah!

T'ain't no dignity like penguin dignity.
Incidentally, my Amazon recommendations have taken a turn for the bizarre. Where before I might see U2 or k. d. lang being proffered, now I'm getting selections like
Lounge Against The Machine
(alt rock gets the Vegas treatment) and
The Annoying Music Show's The Annoying Music Show CD
(I'm quite sure you haven't lived until you've heard Tiny Tim and Bob Dylan singing "I Got You Babe"). The reason? It's just a guess of course, but I suspect it may have something to do with the arrival of one third of my younger brother's b'day present -
The Greatest Hits of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner.
(At least I hope so, because otherwise it's Bic Runga's
Drive
and I've sadly misjudged its relative groovetasticness.)
Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have affected the gold box offerings, which include a Hamilton Beach 26200 "Flip 'n Fluff" Belgian Waffle Baker
