Apologies

Allo allo!

My laptop dropped dead late last night so I dashed out and got a new one this morning and it’s clearly going to be WEEKS before I get used to all its novelties. Just so you know. Posts will probably be sparse for a bit. But I haven’t vanished off the planet yet.

    At least your old laptop had the good timing to expire right before Cyber Monday! Happy learning all about the new one!

    Ugh god it’s TORTURING me.

    But actually the timing was good, the one that I liked the look of turned out to be a leftover “Black Friday” one so it was dirt cheap.

    I was mildly perturbed that I didn’t wake up to a cascade of posts. Don’t know what I’ll do when you do hang up your keyboard, my favourite radio interviewer just retired. I could go into opinion withdrawal.

    Just train a custom Llama x.0 LLM on OB’s entire posting history then feed it headlines and social media posts, electric Butterflies are eternal…

    I sympathize; I am still coming to grips with a new laptop that has weird quirks. Fortunately, I use my desktop for most things.

    You should have been DEEPLY perturbed. I’m deeply perturbed that you weren’t deeply perturbed.

    Well look, I just didn’t want to come across all needy and clingy and like my IDENTITY depends on reading your blog, alright!

    OB: Laptop, no laptop, or whatevertop, you remain IMHO the Gertude Stein of Cyberspace.

    Well you say that but without a tool to swap words nobody’s the Gertrude anything of anywhere!
