Absent Without Leave

October 13th, 2005

Just a quick post (made via a BT phone kiosk) to say that due to the effects of a power surge which took out (among other things) my iMac and my DSL modem/router it will be some time before I can post here again, or even have convenient access to the internet to read comments or anyone else’s site.

I’ll see you all when I see you.

    Well, that sucks. May your equipment heal soon.

    That’s awful, John. Hope you get it fixed soon and that you haven’t lost your data.

    Would a fund to help out help out? (Problem arises when John can’t see this….)

    It’s a kind thought, but as it happens all the bits and pieces I need are either to hand or due for delivery within the next 24 hours so I should be back online properly before much longer.

    I probably won’t have a fully restored system for a couple of days or so after that (i.e. I’ll have to reinstall a lot of third-party software, dig out all sorts of registration codes, put all my bookmarks back where my browser expects to find them and so on), but with any luck I’ll be catching up on all my favourite weblogs - not to mention my email backlog - some time on Tuesday night.
