Did I miss a Saturday post? Probably!

[Later] In fact, yes I did. Bummer. Now I have a gap in my calendar for the 18th November.

I would have managed to slip in under the deadline of midnight - since the Conversant server seems to run a minute or so behind my Powerbook's time - but I've noticed that when I have Frontier and/or Radio Userland running in the background my Powerbook becomes unresponsive for 30 seconds or so on the stroke of midnight. So, just as I was about to post the first line of this message as Saturday's contribution midnight struck on my machine and, like Cinderella, it seemed to rush off somewhere else to do someone else's bidding. I guess it's the 24-hour daemon(s) kicking in.

Why I should bother missing a day is an interesting psychological question. Anyhow not much happened today and 11:55pm was the first time I'd logged in - hence the lack of a jotter entry.

Enclosures:
None.

Seems to be some funky caching going either in MacIE5 or at my ISP. More
