It happens sometimes. I sit here staring at a blank screen for several minutes and nothing leaps to mind. So…reviews. I’ll try to make this one a touch longer than normal, since if I get to a second post it will be very late. New equipment at work makes for much longer hours to program it.

Turns out it may not have been the webmail site, or at least not entirely (I do have to say they have quite the obnoxious selection of ads, and one of them does cause a code error on every page load). My poor ancient laptop is having a heck of a time keeping up with modern technology, and last night it simply decided it was no longer interested. So I spent a couple of hours deleting everything but the bare bones basic, and it seems to have rejoined the technology ranks of 2001. Yeah, I know….

I’ve been thinking for a couple of days that I was coming up on my one-year anniversary of posting reviews, so just now I finally took the time to look back and find out when I started. Turns out I missed it by exactly two months, as it was 27 September last year. This is how my life works most of the time. Oh well. On a happier note, I’m finally getting out of the house again tonight. I don’t know what I’m doing or who I’ll be doing it with just yet, but I have options.
