The moon does all its work before dawn. (source 1/2)

Carniola is going to sleep now for half a second, a second, a minute, a century. But I want everyone to know that I am still alive, that I have a golden manger inside my lips, that I am the little friend of the west wind, that I am the elephantine shadow of my own tears.

In other words: My computer is busted and has to be fixed. I’m not sure how long this will take. Luckily it’s still under warranty. Customer service says they’ll need 1 to 3 weeks. I think it will be sooner rather than later. As soon as I get it back, though, I need to do some serious fixes to this site. Among them:

1) A lot of people have been reporting problems with the comment filter. It obviously has to go. I’m thinking of switching to something like Doug & Claudia have at Halfway Down the Danube. I don’t like the usual captcha solutions so much (I regularly have trouble decoding them) so theirs seems like a good compromise.

2) I need to update the about pages and fix some older, broken pages.

3) I need to clean out my ever-expanding backlog of unanswered e-mails and unfinished posts.

4) I need to get some sleep. Preferably the sleep of the apples.

So let it be written, so let it be done! (eventually)

See you all at dawn,

Michael
