*bangs head on keyboard*

Really, I wish I hadn't realized at 1am that not!Harry needed to be close to wolfing out in the aforementioned pole syringe scene. Not that I object to the realization, but the timing could have been better, dammit.

Therefore, I shall fix that today. Along with myriad other little problems.

And then I shall pass it on to those of you who want it. *nods firmly* It's time to let this thing see the light of ... well, not day, yet, because actual public consumption is going to have to wait. Sunrise?

So far, pensive1, veldeia, lady_moriel, bullet4fob, aadler, ithildyn, texanfan, dmdomini, bojojoti, highlander_ii, sunnyd_lite, dollygrip and wekm have expressed interest in seeing it. I'm going to assume that bigsciencybrain and kurukami wish to as well.

That's eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen. Erm. That's a...lot. I think I'm going to say that four three two one that's it, no more of you can have it. Of course, I'm assuming, in my arrogance, that that many people will actually want to see it.

Comments are screened, so drop me an email address if I don't already have it. I'll edit the post when I have four more.

And thanks to everyone who's read along and encouraged me with this. It means more than I can express. *smishes you all*

ETA: Let me know if .doc format is all right, or if you need it in .rtf instead.

Son of ETA: lady_moriel, I need your email addy. Will screen your comment if you like. :)

And the stupid continues apace...

Remember the Hubby's numpty eBay buyer, who thought that a computer that had been formatted twice and declared clean by both Norton and Avast might have a virus that had damaged the motherboard?

Yeah, he claims that when he started it up, it gave him a Blue Screen that said "Windows has encountered a problem, check your computer for viruses, check your hard drive." Now, I'm not a connoisseur of the BSoD, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen that particular message.

It gets better.

He went to Best Buy. They sold him a hard drive. Of course they did, that's what they do. And now "it works."

I'm a little skeptical. For one thing, the Hubby never did figure out, on multiple attempts, how to break into the case of the thing without actually breaking it. Whether they installed it for him or he installed it himself is a moot point.

For another, the guy now wants a $50 partial refund.

Yeah, no. He didn't even attempt to troubleshoot it with us, never tried for a different resolution, just toddled down to Best Buy and shelled out $130 for a hard drive for a computer he spent $210 on?

Whatever, dude. You had "scammer" written all over you since Day One (no, we're not going to take a Walmart gift card as partial payment *eyeroll*). You expect us to believe that you spent nearly as much for a hard drive as you spent on the machine, and installed it yourself. We may have been born at night, but we weren't born last night.

Enjoy your laptop. I hope you choke on it.

HAH.

We drove down to Provo today to get tires for the Durango. I grabbed the printout I did the other day of the last fifteen pages of the not!kkbb/im thing to see if I couldn't wrestle the end into some semblance of not sucking like a frakking Hoover.

AND, LO, I HAVE SUCCEEDED.

I have a last line I'm finally happy with. I'm going to read through it one more time to make sure it hangs together, and then I'm going to release it into the wilds of my beta group.

For which there are still two slots open...

WIN.

The Hubby basically told the guy that since he'd bought a new hard drive for the computer and we had no way of knowing if that was even the problem, he wouldn't give him a refund.

And the buyer just left him feedback that said:
good seller recomended

Ha. Stand firm and call people on their bullshit. It works.
