Your Guardian is the unicorn. You have long since
attained the power to heal. You are cautious,
and kinda in your own little world. But you are
also clever, magical, and kind. You are timid
and cautious, but doesn't mean you are a
coward! You are a healer, and so is you
Guardian!


What type of Guardian do you have? (Like Dragon, Wolf, Phoniex, etc.)

And everyone please note: The above has NOTHING to do with virginity!

In other news, I've now got a minor deadline in a few hours. It would theoretically be very easy to just knuckle down and DO the work, and I'll easily make my deadline. Why then do I find myself finding so many other important but non-urgent bits of work to do?

Bugatron!

Help! Is there a MAC enthusiast in the audience? It turns out that when folks visit the penultimate page of my website using Netscape 4.x on a Mac, none of the form buttons appear. I can't duplicate this without a Mac, so I can't debug it. Is there anyone out there with a Mac who is willing to spend a few hours on the phone with me trying different things to see what is and is not working?

Geography Explained

So, my sweetie taxlady discovered today that there is a place called Winnipegosis, which is clearly a diseased state of Winnipeg. At first we thought that it might be a badly inflamed Winnipeg, but that turns out to be Winnipegitis. A check of a medical dictionary reveals that Winnipegagogue is a medicine designed to help in the expelling of Winnipeg, while Winnipegagra is a sudden, severe pain in the Winnipeg.

I further discovered that Winnipegectasis is a state of dilated Winnipeg, while Winnipegectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a Winnipeg. Even worse, Winnipegemesis is a terrible condition in which you continually vomit up Winnipeg. On the other hand Winnipegicterus is simply a case of jaundiced Winnipeg.

Then I started getting close. Winnipegism is chronic case of Winnipeg and Winnnipegismus are spasms in one's Winnipeg. Finally I discovered that Winnipegosis is merely an abnormal (usually diseased) state of Winnipeg, which is what I had assumed all along.

So, vocabulary richer, but no wiser, I am left to wonder: what exactly IS the difference between Winnipeg and Winnipegosis?
