Yours in hope,

Thank you, Sirs. This was much appreciated.

Thank you Madams also, of course!

There's one thing to remember "we" might be having a tech hiccup but! we ain't got government bodies etc after us for allowing bad content etc as in "other" lower media sites

Have we got everybody covered? Sirs and Madams, check.

? Check!

Good news all Froods!
Pliny is back alive!

Brian applied his best sorcery, sent a link to the core team, who replied "IT WORKS", and then Brian said

"Well, that's rather annoying, as it should not have worked. I mean, it's nice that it does, but annoying that THAT made it work, as that makes no sense"

Well, such is life back stage at h2g2.com, deep in the basement behind the sign for "Beware of the Leopard".

We can't explain it. But it works. So Share and Enjoy!

For the Core Team
Milla

I am so proud of the team.

You don't get the big bucks, but you deserve to.

The thing is, it's always a work in progress. Things will have their snags, but they'll get ironed out. (Hope I haven't jinxed anything by saying this ).

TJ claims victory! He knew sympathetic magick would work.

Kitty computer tricks.

Woohoo! I'm typing this in Pliny for the first time in months! This makes me one really happy, hoopy frood!

"Well, that's rather annoying, as it should not have worked. I mean, it's nice that it does, but annoying that THAT made it work, as that makes no sense"

Pastey said something similar about my P/Space guide/ml it shouldn't work ? but it does ?

I fondly remember seeing the following error message on a Sun Sparq Station 20 (really expensive and powerful desktop workstation from the last century running a proprietary Unix based OS) running a film scanning system from Kodak.


"ERROR: This should never happen."

Dmitri's video about T.J. made me think about an old song called "Kitten on the keys"

(Keys used to be something that you use for opening locks. Then they became things on pianos. Pianos have been losing their luster as computers have been gaining, but both have "keys.")

Anyway, if T.J. did play a role in bringing Pliny back, I for one would be willing to contribute to a catnip fund.

I'd rather contribute to a salmon fund--I deal with enough humans on substances now to get a stoned

Did you say salmon?

This brings back memories. My family used to celebrate Memorial Day with salmon and new fresh peas.

My grandmother was such a superb cook that she worked for a specialty caterer, and then was hired to cook for her landlord (incidentally, at one point he became interested in marrying her). Her salmon salad was exquisite, as was anything else she cooked.

Ah, yes, cats also like salmon. As well they might.

Never doubt a salmon

Well, if the machines are starting to do things of its own volition, does that .ean the singularity is round the corner?
