Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, when you put it that way...

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

ita, Those changes are in.

postProcess.php and post.php have been altered. I didn't move tagpairs. Whatever you want to do about that could be applied to the arrays in _quickedit(), as well, I reckon.

When I logged in this evening, I had to actually log in, as if my cookies were gone. I figured it was just me, since we've been running mondo anti-virus checks on my machine. But Deb is also reporting the same problem.

FYI, one of my current favorite sites: [link] has been under internet attack and, ironically, is singing the praises of an old "friend" today:

Staving off yesterday's attack was relatively easy. For $150, I upped my server capacity by adding an additional Pentium 4 with lots of bells and whistles. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve too. I must say the hosting company I am using, HostRocket has been fantastic. I burned through half a dozen web hosting companies before finding them. The others all promised the moon in their ads but the promised service vanished instantly as soon as they got paid. Hostrocket is a big company, with tens of thousands of customers, many of them large companies, and the technical staff is knowledgeable and very oriented towards helping the customers. They have done a wonderful job dealing with this attack. If you need a web hosting company for your business where reliability and customer service are top priorities, I recommend them very highly.

I saw that too, Wolfram. I suspect that he is using a dedicated server with them. Our problems arose because we were using a shared server. We could have switched to a dedicated server with HR, but they were more expensive than iStrada, our current provider, IIRC.

I guess I was amazed by the whole "oriented towards helping the customers" description. Because if I remember correctly, NSM. Unless, apparently, you're a big spender.

What is even happening?

I think we went from HostRockit to FanGeek, and only then to iStrada.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

FanGeek

Who were wonderful and beautiful and terrific and great to us and our bandwidth hogging selves.

I'd been wondering about this. So we do have a link whereby Buffistas gets some money off my Amazon purchases? Cause there should be an easy way to do that via Buffista Links or something, right? Cause if I remembered, I would do it.

Basically, it goes into my personal account, and I've been keeping track of purchases that are made via Buffistas (if I'm not sure, I add it to the Buffistas). To be honest, I haven't sent any of the money to Jesse because it's still small (less than $100, IIRC), and because we haven't needed it. But it's there as a supplemental rainy fund in case we do.
