I had problems when I started reorganizing my folders (have I mentioned before that I have a sever case of OCD ).

I can't remember which I did, but since that time, I leave all that stuff alone!
heh. that's not the problem i have. i had to reinstall my system, and the new installation of ms reader apparently has a different id number () so, it's not recognised by my account, which means i can't download any of my books i previously purchased, and the books i had already downloaded aren't encrypted for it, which means i can't open the ones i have on my hard drive. luckily, i downloaded all of them and stripped the drm right away when i first bought them, but still, it's pretty infuriating. and it means i better keep backups of those books. it was a totally unexpected problem, which has made me a lot less willing to buy lit books anymore, which is a shame because if epub is not available, that's the format i prefer (so easy to convert).

Well, I don't so much "use" the words "disaster" and "Chronophage" in the same sentence as they just happen.

I think you are thinking positively (optimistic). You said you were going to make it to the opposite shore didn't you?

"The Sinking of the Chronophage" sounds like a pretty exciting movie to me. When will it be released on cable? I hope it remains true to the book version. Will pshrynk be playing himself? I hope so. No one can play pshrynk like pshrynk, except maybe Marc. But Marc's been having gibbon issues lately, so I don't think he's available (I heard he's in rehab, but I don't want to start any rumors).

That's why I have a back-up of the back-up! After that whole Overdrive fiasco, I've learned my lesson. Thankfully, I figured out how to strip the drm from the ereader format as well.

I'm sure Kanye West will be able to write a great song to go with that title, as well. He'll probably get Taylor Swift to sing it for him and then give the award for the best new song to Beyonce!

We could have sort of a Sam Spade type character who we never really know his true motivations. Then we break the mast plate off and swear a lot.

Just remember, while you are out sailing... Tomorrow is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! So you can sink to a hearty "Yarrrr!"
