I would be unforgivably remiss if I failed to thank the folks who emailed me during the last few months, enquiring with concern about my whereabouts.
I'm sorry I didn't answer all of you, but that's how badly in the dumps I was.
But enough of that! Since we're all about the slashes today, I do have to admit I larffed quite a bit when I read a few weeks ago that Tim Berners-Lee admitted in an interview that the two slashes in the "http://" formulation in Web URLs do nothing -- nothing! -- but waste electrons.
It's like suddenly discovering the World Wide Web's vermiform appendix or something.

I don't give a damn. I'm just glad to see you back. conysk, I am.
Great to have you back, Neddie. Congratulations on your new gig. We need to get a drink before the year is out. I already spoke to the Stoic about this.
Well, I am sure glad you got ensconced in paying work, and that you are back on line.
Neddie, good to have you back. I missed your posts. Sorry to hear about your commute, but there aren't many good ones in these parts.
