1 Wow.
2 One of the weirdest things happened to me last night.
3 First off, hi again, good to be back.
4 Sorry I forgot to tellya about President's Week.
5 Anyway, I'm back.
6 Okay so back to the weirdness.
7 I put together a reasonably complicated DN which was all about science and technology and computers having minds of their own.
8 I tied it in with the classic film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
9 It wasn't the best DN of all time, but certainly researched and a bit interesting, considering the concept of computers thinking and having minds.
10 Anyway, part of it referred to a scene in the film where a computer refuses to do what it's told and winds up causing a crew on a space ship to die.
11 I can't possibly get all that was written to y'all, but I can tell you that I had spend a few hours working on it because it was a fun topic.
12 I put the entire thing together, and it stood all dressed and ready to launch, when I pressed the "public" button.
13 I looked at it and the entire second half of the DN disappeared EXCEPT for the pictures and links!
14 All the writing disappeared, even though it remained on the private version. It's still on the private version but when I push "public" it refuses to do what I ask!
15 And THAT was the entire THEME of today's DN!
16 It was well past midnight when I finished, so this is going to be a quick one. If I get the other working, I'll launch it tomorrow, but isn't that WEIRD?
17 If the entire second half didn't save I would understand; I'd have been upset but we've all lost html that way.
18 The fact that the pictures stayed, as well as all the links was weird. And the one picture that stayed was this beautiful one of Hal the computer. It's just this light that looks like those little circular dark cameras you see everywhere, only with a tiny LCD-like light at its center.
19 Ah, vell!
20 Maybe tomorrow.
21 Meanhwall, it's great to be back and I'm ready to ride, podner!
22 Gottago.
23 Have a cool-ass Monday.
24 Fly low.
25 Peace.
