Word from the Webmaster

Hello everybody. My name is Dytalus. I have word from Niemand (the guy who runs this blog).

For those not in the know, I host RevZero on my hosting account, because Niemand doesn’t know a huge amount about setting up a website. Now onto the news.

About a two weeks ago, Niemand had a rather awful full down a flight of stairs, courtesy of some bastard who thought he was being funny. He’s in hospital right now, as he has been for quite some time thanks to head trauma. He apologises for this massive absence, and continues to beat himself up over not posting content or reading blogs as frequently as he used to.

With the explanation given, Niemand should be out of the hospital by the middle of next week. But he insisted I let you all know what happened so you don’t think he’s abandoned this venture. He better not have, I paid for his domain name for the next 3 years. I’ll murder him if he stops running this blog.

So, hold on for a few more days and Niemand should be up on his feet again.

Sleep well.

Help Haiti

Yeah, I think you should already know why this is necessary. Basically I want to show a few ways you can help with very little effort.

Google, of course, has lead the way. They’ve set up a whole page with many, many different ways you can donate money to charities helping in Haiti. Also, the charity Action Against Hunger is providing massive amounts of aid to Haitians, so that’s another charity you can help out.

If you believe in prayer, pray for the Haitians. They need all the support we can give them. Thousands are dead and millions of dollars of damage has been done to the country.

That’s all I have to say. Please, do what you can.

Snow marks the end of civilisation

Ireland never fails to astound me.

For those who don’t know, I live in the the middle of the middle of nowhere in Ireland. And over the past week and a half we have had heavy rain combined with snow. This led to the roads freezing over and half the country shutting down. When the snow arrived, it took them 3 days to grit the roads. And our government was so unprepared, that we are actually running out of the salt needed to make the roads safe again.

An unfortunate side effect of all that snow and strong winds, was the inadvertent failure of my internet connection. Gone, poof. Totally unusable. Normally I would just go to college or a friend’s house, but that’s where the ice comes in. I was so far away from any form of major towns or cities, that they didn’t bother gritting the roads near me, effectively cutting me off from civilisation and the internet, all at the same time. I managed to get on quick tweet out in my desperation, but that was the limit of my contact with the outside world.

Fortunately, however, the internet is now functioning again and we can return to our regularly scheduled broadcast. Given that my last post was a Music Monday, I won’t be making an MM post this week. Two in a row just seems cheap.

I’ll see you all on Wednesday.
