Ouch... My wireless hub (which is how everything around here connects to the world via my cable modem) had my cable ISP's DSN servers hardcoded. I haven't changed those settings since setting it up a couple years ago. Guess I shouldn't have done that. Looks like they've changed DNS server addresses recently... everything was going really slow... at least for the initial connection. Took me a while to recognize the symptoms... Now fixed. I hope. No longer hardcoded. 10:07:34 PM    Notes [] Are we happy now? Didn't think so. There are people who are only too willing to tell you what is wrong with a story because it doesn't go in the direction THEY would have taken it and it doesn't cover the things they think is important.. And there's never really any easy way to answer their issues. Because, if they have such clear ideas of what YOUR story should say... why aren't they writing their own story? Got one of those kinds of reviews today, already, to my "Lady of A" story. One of my perpetual "Problem Reviewers" (yes, I have one of those...) has decided that part two of this story just ruined the whole thing and they no longer like any part of the story... because I was in a hurry to shove Dawn off to Seacover without a whole lot of protest from Willow and Co. (even though I warned everyone right up front at the beginning of that part that I was going to do it...) and why didn't Joyce come running to Buffy's rescue? Such is life. That isn't the story I'm telling... and I have no plans to change things around... 8:57:32 PM    Notes [] A Little Sunday afternoon mayhem... I posted the next complete part of "Lady of A" to Twisting the Hellmouth Trying to depict Connor MacLeod accurately wasn't going anywhere. So I finished that part off with a lot more 'Dawn-age' than I'd originally planned, and Joyce will be back in the next part. There just isn't much to go on, character-wise, if you watch the original movie (which I did this afternoon), unlike the 6 seasons of Highlander and the main characters in the series. Hope I didn't mangle him too much, but one more part and he's basically out of there. And now let's go watch "Kill Bill" for a much messier story of people with swords. 5:46:17 PM    Notes []
