I Swear I’ll Cut You
I spent the weekend studying compassion, and then came home to relax a little before facing the new week.

Last night’s attempt to ping Salon’s server with my own code was just about successful (I sent the address to my main Web site instead of my Weblog by accident). I’ll get it right this morning.
