(no subject)

Comp is up and running, and I even managed to pry a copy of WSFTP from Ipswitch without repaying them or anything. It's... different, but it works.

This is mostly a post to wave and say hey we're back online, and most especially to point and flail and wave at amethystlight who has her birthday today, and who I've known for... twelve years maybe? Thirteen? You'd all damn well better wish her happy birthday, because she is pretty much the whole reason I came to the wonderful land of intarwebs in the first place. My first online friend who taught me not everyone on the internet is scary (we've stayed at each other's places several times over the years), my first teacher of HTML, my inspiration for writing my first fanfics, my introduction to IRC, and just an amazing person for so many reasons. Even if you don't know her and only know me, you should be grateful to her. She's why I'm here.

She's also an amazingly patient person since I owe her a commission from way back months ago. Working on that...
