I am (still) posting this from a dialup connection, on a computer that doesn’t even have a rackin’ frackin’ mousewheel!

You might not think having a mousewheel is a big deal, but it’s kind of like a thumb - you don’t really realize how useful the damn thing is until a mob enforcer comes and rips it off with a pair of needle-nose pliers.

ANYway, here’s a completely self-indulgent list of things I can’t do properly until I have my beloved broadband internet connection back:

I’ve never quite figured out what people mean when they say “Sure it’s hot, but it’s a dry heat.” I mean, your oven is a dry heat too, but you wouldn’t want to live in it!

Yes, I am comparing Arizona to living in an oven, and I’ve been here less than a day.

Well, it’s finally go-time! My sister and I will officially be out of the house/apartment we’re currently in by September 1st, just a couple weeks away. Reservations have been made, deadlines have been established, changes of address have been completed.

I am composing this in a hurry - I had thought the cable would hold out until we were gone, but when I rolled out of bed this morning I noticed that all of the television channels are blocked and say ‘Access Not Authorized’, so I fear it’s just a matter of time before they realize they cancelled the tv but not the internet access. Depending on a number of things, I may be offline for as long as a few months, so if it seems like I suddenly disappear off the face of the virtual world, you’ll know why.

It would seem I jumped the gun a bit on announcing I would be offline indefinitely. An 11th hour reprieve was thrown my way by a dear friend, and my net access looks to be stable for at least another month or so.

I. Am. Very. Relieved!

Howdy All.

Unfortunately, my cable will be going dark on June 12th, and I have no idea when I’ll be able to get it back up again. This coupled with the fact that I may need to move as well means it’s possible I could be offline for as long as 2-3 months.

TheMook.Net site is still paid up until September, so it isn’t going anywhere - but I won’t be able to access it, so there will be no updates for a while, either to the site itself, the MookUI compilation, the Soldier of Fortune server, or anything else. Naturally you are all still welcome to use the message boards and anything else you want for as long as they are up.
