Blogger Experiencing Technical Problems

I was all ready to post the first in a series of "Favourite Comic Covers" entries, only to find out that Blogger's not able to upload images right now. Kind of takes the fun out of talking about a comic cover if I can't even show it! So that'll have to wait until tomorrow, I guess, or whenever they fix their boo-boo (that's the technical term used by computer software professionals like myself).

At the same time, Vicki's locked out of her beloved Neopets site because they're having problems of some variety, as well! This coincidence caused Vicki to remark about how slowly the debit machines were processing when she was out getting groceries today, and that took us both back to the (then-called) Point Of Sale (debit) crisis right before Christmas, about a decade ago at the bank. Our Anonymous reader can probably provide more amusing anecdotes around that event, since he was most likely involved, whereas Vicki and I were just interested bystanders. It definitely made for an unmerry Christmas for a lot of folks, including many within the bank!

Ah well, the best laid plans and all that...
