Evidently a “MySQL misconfiguration with the server” eviscerated my blog for a few hours today. Obviously the problem has been fixed, since you’re reading this. My apologies to everyone visiting the page today, which means I’m apologizing to myself. And, for the record, I am accepting my apology. The down-time is another reminder I had better backup my databases. It also allowed me some time to find this site,
World Wide Words, a handy reference explaining the derivations of many words and expressions. Hey kids,
look up your favorite work or phrase! It’s got dirty words too!

P.S.:
The Digital Bits (by way of
Video Business) says
The Return of the King Extended Edition will be released in December.
Yay! You’re back!
No wait, I was thinking of another site.
