Turns LJ/Verizon issues may actually come down to a bad ethernet card. For some bizarre reason, Windoze has decided that I don't actually have one. I've tried running recover. I've tried forcing recognition. I've tried adding new hardware. No dice.

I've got one thing left to try before cracking open the case. I probably shouldn't bitch because the thing is four years old and is in near constant use. *sigh* But it works rather well, my good ol' HP.

Anyway, a quick happy B-day to charliesmum! May your day be shiny and bright!

(On a side note, can anyone in LJ land tell me how I can get reminded for people's birthdays on my FList? Thanks.)

Also, gakked from maystone. Richard Biggs, who played Dr. Stephen Franklin on Babylon 5 has passed away. According to the message from JMS reposted on maystone's journal, he either died of a stroke or aneurysm. He was only in his 40s.

And finally, I gakked this from peridot1974 and I have to tell you, when I did it I fell off my chair laughing.

As Giles is wont to say: "How very appropriate."

What Is Your Battle Cry?

Lo! Who is that, skulking over the tarmac! It is Liz_marcs, hands clutching a bladed baseball bat! And with a bloodthirsty howl, her voice cometh: "I'm going to brutalize you backwards in time!!!"
