Loose Ends, Middles, and Beginnings
June 21, 2010 in Blogs
I’m not certain how it was that I missed Eric Ashley’s latest article, In the Beginning, a silly musing on the creation of the universe that owes something to Gnosticism (the notion that the universe was accidentally created by mistake), but I noticed it today so I’ve read it and pass on to you that it’s there. I’m pleased to see it; Gaming Outpost needs more articles from more writers, and Eric is reliably interesting.
My latest writing is elsewhere, but that’s the case twice a week as I continue my Examiner temporal anomalies series with The Lake House part 7: the flag trick, as the movie’s time travel really starts getting warmed up and the characters begin to figure out what’s happening to them.
Concerning my Comcast problems, someone came to the house on Friday and managed to full get service (of the new limited sort) working in the living room. However, the problem persists in the bedroom. It appears to be a matter of the signal not being strong enough when it passes through the decade-plus-old wiring that connects the entire house, but my wife is not about to let a serviceman tramp through the house checking connections and such so that task will fall to less-well-equipped me when I can find the time. I brought the DVD recorder out to the living room last night to record a show on one of the channels that don’t work in the bedroom (Leverage), but most of the shows I record (although not all that I watch) are on channels that are working, so I’ll be managing for a while. I also got an e-mail back, not from the person who replied to the Blogless Lepolt entry but from whoever answers his e-mail. It very politely said tough luck, live with it, you don’t really have any other options. I wrote back and told them what technological solution would work, but I think they’ll probably have dropped it in the Cranks file by now, at least until I get cranky again and put them in the title of another blog post.
