#1 Might be another 'bug fix' necessary. I'm unable to post articles.

#2 Might be a good thing, considering the news.

#3 Welcome back. The Realtek 8169 card always gave me problems particularly in the shift between 6th direct to 7th overdrive. The over rev would crash the gears in the hard box until I finally got smart and went wireless.

#4 My hands were getting sweaty and shaking. I felt clammy all over. Had flu-like symptoms for the past week or so. All I can figure is that it was "Rantburg withdrawal."

Thanks Fred for all your efforts. You too Badanov.

#6 Yes, I do feel better, after posting five comments! I missed all of you. Can't wait to read the comments later in the day.

#7 Rantburg withdrawal symptoms caused me to drink alcohol. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it. Time to sober up now due to more sobering news to ponder.

#9 Thank goodness.

You're one of the few things that allows me to keep my sanity these days.

#10 I can only imagine.
Thank you, Fred and All.

Tip jar coming, and I promise no pickled egg joke.

#11 Amidst the humongous inanity,
A parasite cried, "All is vanity."
While being excreted,
This rhyme it completed
To help AlanC keep his sanity.

Tough times. Love to all.

#13 I too suffered from RWS this week with spillover consequences.

#14 I think there were too many negative comments here about the Hildabeest and she fried Fred's hard drive.

#15 I thought it was all the hair plug jokes after the last outage..."pulling my hair out".

Please Fred, don't take your ball and go home.

#16 Maybe Fred pulled out all Besoeker's hair this time?

#18 A day without Rantburg is like a day without...attitude. Yeah, that's it. Attitude.

#19 Yippee!

I'm so glad you're back - I was getting the shakes from Rant-withdrawal.

You're on my calendar for a donation come next payday. And of course all my Amazon ordering is done through Rantburg.

Fred, have I mentioned you're a GOD? :-D

#20 Welcome back! I wanted to post it on July 4, but better late than never:

The Munich Allianz Arena on Independence Day

#22 Wow -- what a lovely gesture from an unexpected source (the arena, not you, European Conservative). Thank you!

#23 Backups are a bitch. My first real server had a pricey digital tape backup (ok, long ago), big bucks sw, and surprise, the first time I really needed to restore something, it was all corrupt. The backup sw company said 'tsk, we'll catch that bug on the next release. Maybe.'

#24 And yes, thank you European Conservative.

#25 Had the same problem with tape. The 'Burg database backs up at 8, 4, and midnight, Eastern time. I think I'll change it to noon, 6 and midnight. And I have to rsync the photo directories. And all the Javascript.
