Okay, I've been on hiatus for long periods before, but this is the first time the site has actually been down for a while. I got a sense that a feeling of panic was creeping throughout my vast audience. Anyhoo, a failing hard drive, a heap of travel, and the end of the quarter conspired to take creaky old costarica off the air and keep it that way for a few weeks. (Research tech support at NU? Shyah, right!).
Thankfully, the hard drive decided to make one last stand before I had to perform major surgery. New Media Hack has been backed up in all its glory so if/when the disk bites the bullet I'm in good shape to recover. Whew! I may just go proactive and cobble together a replacement machine when the quarter is over at the end of next week.
So you haven't quite gotten rid of me yet!! Heck, I think my Google ranking even went up
