Aloha Part 2

Remember, it means both Hello and Goodbye.

So these ([The Stars Hollow Gazette http://www.thestarshollowgazette.com] – [DocuDharma https://www.docudharma.com]) are our new digs. At best I can say they are reminiscent of our wonderful old place that was demolished by Vogons to make way for a Hyperspace Bypass because goodness knows you can never have enough of those. Trillian, Ford, and Zaphod all agree that I am much too hung up about illusions of a past that never was all that impressive and the taste of tea, of which every place in the multiverse has a beverage they name that, but which uniformly taste like untreated brown water except of course a magically delicious elixir which actually is untreated brown water. However, it tastes nothing like tea at all.

Is that a metaphor? Honestly I find it hard to keep them straight any more. At least I have my towel-

<blockquote>Any man that can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

If a nonhitchhiker discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the nonhitchhiker will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might have accidentally “lost.”.</blockquote>

Mine is official BBC Tardis Blue Pantone 2955C and says, in nice friendly letters-

<center>POLICE TELEPHONE
FREE
FOR USE OF
PUBLIC</center>

<center>ADVICE & ASSISTANCE
OBTAINABLE IMMEDIATELY</center>

<center>OFFICERS & CARS
RESPOND TO ALL CALLS</center>

Advice and assistance. Yeah, that might not be so bad.

Since I can only stand so much sympathy (I’m a trained computer professional dammit. I speak more than half a dozen languages in hundreds of dialects and I know hardware too.), I’m sure that some time between now and maximum entropy I shall be able to exactly duplicate the taste of tea. In the mean time (that is a metaphor, or at least a pun) we shall struggle on with our cheap imitation of inferior quality.

I can see now this is the mere beginning of an extended lament of instruction as we discover by degrees how truly screwed we are. I’ll skip the emergent details that are just as boring as they are painful but to which I’ll subject you to none the less, and talk instead of the new content we intend to post.

World Series! Let’s Go Mets! Also a test of the commenting system. Daily Late Nightly will not return until the end of the Series. [Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aut%C3%B3dromo_Hermanos_Rodr%C3%ADguez] next Sunday (only on [The Stars Hollow Gazette http://www.thestarshollowgazette.com]). Other old favorites will re-appear on a rolling basis as we work out the kinks which is taking a HUGE amount of time TMC and I are hard pressed to find (we have lives you know, much of which I choose not to share in public).

If you have not yet completed any backups you care to make, this link will take you to old [The Stars Hollow Gazette http://thestarshollowgazette.drupalsquad.com/] and this link old [DocuDharma http://docudharma.drupalsquad.com/]. Our old vendor claims they will work until November 15th.

Raw SQL your speed? Please drop us a line! Links to the archives?
