h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

After about half an hour of being back on the site (plus a change in my bedding, which I sensibly left until 1:45am to do), I remember what I meant to come here and do.

*bangs the keyboard repeatedly, having missed the enter key and hit plastic, and not realised it*



OK. I am tired.

Anyway, I should be having a nice new spanking pretty clean blog up tomorrow. Maybe. aka and I spent aaaaages tonight coding (him) and organising the aesthetics (me) of how it should look. Muchos Gracias to the aka. It won't be on the Blogger site. In fact, I don't know WHERE it will be. But it will be. And that is all that matters. I don't have to deal with any HTML which makes me a happy bunny. And I get a nice blog up. With all that I need. And NO ADVERTS.

This is actually more than I put up on my blog. Weirdness.

Anyway, for all that miss this, or get here too late, or who just...I don't know...for all that don't, I will post an announcement journal entry, put the new link up on this page, as well as direct all to my new blog via my old blog. So there will be no excuse for not going there.

Of course, this is very annoying for all you who have got used to the current arrangement, but trust me, it will be nicer to look at.



In other, more local news, I am progressing well with my current writing project. I now just need a printer.

Writing progress sounds good.

A printer shouldn't be too expensive to buy if you've made any progress on the making money side of things - you did say you had some sort of secret but profitable venture underway in an earlier journal entry but I don't recall any updates on that.

Well, that's been put on the backburner for a while.

But I have some money that is aimed specifically at buying a printer. Thing is, I only need a black and white one, being that I only need it for printing out texts. But you can't buy those new these days. And it would be silly to purchase a brand new expensive one when I won't be needing it for anything more than printing out text.

Thus, the conundrum continues.

Yes, I had a similar problem being pretty much only interested in black and white printing. I got a printer with separate black and colour (CMY) cartridges. I let the colour one dry out and just sit there in its slot to prevent the printer complaining about its absence but actually only use and replace the black one as normal. The printer wasn't much different in price from the previous genuine black and white one. Ideally they should make printers such that you never have to fit a colour cartridge without having it whinge constantly at you. I blame the stupid human designers.

Stupid target demographics.
