Site to be down for a few minutes
Friday, September 5th, 2003
Glad to see that UltraMom posted earlier today. I’m glad that the site being down temporarily didn’t hamper her. It will be down for a few minutes once more in about an hour. You see as I type this the pages are being served from my living room as I rebuild my computer desk to give myself more desk width in preparation for the arrival of my G5. The desk was a corner (‘L’ shaped) desk, but I straightened it out, and will soon be moving all of the computers out of the living room and back into the office where they belong.
and for Kristen’s benefit: Squared Away – Originally, to “square away” meant to trim a ship’s sails to put her before the wind (i.e. get underway). Today, it means a ship that looks good, maneuvers smartly, etc., or refers to a sailor who is capable and smart in appearance and action.Squared Away – Originally, to “square away” meant to trim a ship’s sails to put her before the wind (i.e. get underway).

(She doubted me when I told her squared away was originally a navy word. This doesn’t really prove me right, but it goes halfway.)
Thank you very much for checking up on that. And thanks, too, for coming over and dragging me away from my house yesterday. It was fun, and you are a very good partner for caustic whispering and rabid doodling.
Bloody hell talk about favouritism! You made her hummus (sp?) last week and then dragged her out of her house this week!
