I just hang around here. Write a few diaries. When I had, when I was traveling, access to high speed internet and a faster processor, I was fine. But I'm back in rural Maine. I'm on dial-up. And Beta aka DK4 crashes my machine.
Commonmass, and my little diary series, Awards Editon Plus may be gone. Until I can afford to upgrade. Which will be a long time, so it seems.
Follow me over the fold.
Towards the end of the "beta testing" time, I was invited to test. I was on the road, and a couple of days after I got this invitation, I responded that I was prepared to "test". I responded. I set up a group. I was on the road, though: all I could do was to set up a group for my weekly diary series, "Awards Editon Plus", which came from a Wednesday diary which included the "Golden Douchenozzle Award", a "spin-off" from my near-daily comments on "Cheers and Jeers". I had to leave where I was, and ended up back here in Maine, where I am on an old browser system, ten-year-old computer and dial-up. Now, Beta crashes my system. I guess I am in that small percent where it's "too bad, so sad".
I guess those of us that cannot afford to upgrade our computers, or that live on islands off the coast of Maine where dial-up is the very grace of God, are not the kind of people that belong on dKos. I think that's horrible. But it's not my blog. It belongs to Markos. I hate to have to leave it involunarily because I'm a poor person in a rural area, and that it just doesn't work for the site to include people like me.
I'm just 158085. I'm no one. But this blog is my connection to the world. I'll be sorrier to lose it than the adminstrators are to lose me. At least I met the man I love on here.
This is NOT a GBCW diary. It's just a way to work out, for me, the fact that I won't be able to access things after the first week in February. I don't know what I'll do, but it will probably include a lot of listening to NPR. When the electricity works. Good luck.
