A pagan in hell

A Pagan dies, and to his great surprise finds himself standing before some pearly gates. The guy in charge looks him over before asking, "Can I help you?" "Where am I?" asks the Pagan. "Beg your pardon?" the other guy asks. "You're in Heaven, of course." "B-but I don't believe..." "Hmmm" (squinting his eyes) "are you one of them Pagan folk?" the gatekeeper asks, his mouth curling in mild distaste. "Yes, I am... I believe…

Internet Explorer

It is a strange piece of software. I don't like it but I need it for some stuff at work. After it was automatically upgraded to 9.0 I spent ages trying to find how it will automatically load Citrix ".ica" files. Never found it. Since a few days it automatically loads .ica files without me telling it to do so? This takes user-friendly to new heights. Uhm - make that lows?

The Celtic Commandments

Give thou thine heart to the wild magic, To the Lord and the Lady of Nature, Beyond any consideration of this world.

Some kind of update

I am here. I've been busy. Far too busy of course, so busy that when I had a very relaxed last weekend, I had trouble sleeping overnight and felt miserable on Monday. Not going to do that again soon! Dad He's doing okay, but he is getting more and more confused all the time. On Monday afternoon he called me with all kinds of problems and worries and such, and talked about things that (I…
