There might be a conspicuous lack of updates for the next little while. My computer, after serving me faithfully for about 2 years and 4 months, has succumbed. To what, I don’t know. I need to call a computer guy. I don’t know whether it will be fixed, or whether I will want to fix it. After all, 2 years and 4 months, in computer years, is 136. So it has already had a long life.

If I do get a new computer, does anyone have any suggestions?
