iPad Links: Wednesday, May 12, 2010

The kittens are still alive. Their eyes are beginning to open.

This one has far fewer links, thanks to my stupidity last night.

Another Lost Day Here

Last night, I did some cleaning up of the PC.

I do the Links post in a WordPad file.

I wound up unknowingly deleting that WordPad file last night. And the sectors have since been overwritten, so there’s no chance of an UnDelete.

There were a lot of good Links there. Ones I cannot reconstruct now.

So, it looks like there won’t be much a Links post here today, if at all.

I might chuck it all today and go look at bad comic books instead and rage at floating profiles.
