In the kingdom of the blind, the porcupine is king

I spent an hour on the phone with my mother last night trying to help her use her computer. Its at times like this that I really gain a lot of sympathy for help desk people. It is so frustrating trying to diagnose a fault when you cannot see what is going on. At least we got it sorted out in the end.

I'm not expendable, I'm not stupid...

Decisions decisions. Thylacon or Continuum. Obviously I'd like to go to both. Realistically only getting to one is on the cards. With the work situation I may not manage to get to either. What to do. I suspect that unless work things start to clarify in the next week then I will have to flag away Thylacon, so maybe there is no choice.
