I know this is in danger of becoming the “whoring for your own comic strip” blog, but still….
For those so inclined, there is now some swag you can puchase at The New Store Of Queen Victoria.

I will be keeping them in here, though, since otherwise all the comments would also be lost.
Ego inflating: Realizing you’ve more than quadrupled your readership, bringing the number of “friends” reading The New Adventures of Queen Victoria to 67.
Ego deflating: Realizing that
In translating LJ stardom to real life stardom terms, this puts Queen Victoria somewhere above Jason Ritter, and somewhere below Jason Schwartzman.
I have a long way to go.
Bill Napoli is the smartass in South Dakota that sponsored that state’s abortion ban. Anyone have any decisions they need to make?
The power supply on my main computer started acting up, so I’ve been using my laptop for nearly everything lately. Today, recording this week’s Pab Sungenis Project I made a remark about how much of a pain it can be to produce an entire one-hour radio show with nothing but a laptop and a handful of CD’s.
This afternoon, the laptop’s power supply also cooked itself, taking this week’s radio show and this AND next week’s Queen Victoria with it.
I have a bit of work ahead of me.
In anticipation of moving, to help cut down on stuff to pack, I’m going to be listing tons of crap on eBay. If you’re curious to start tracking what I’m selling and maybe take some of this stuff off my hands, look here.
Some Doctor Who books are the first things up, other items will follow as time goes on.
Tony Blair is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full of
patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets one. The patient replies:
“Fair fa your honest sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin race,
Aboon them a ye take yer place,
Painch, tripe or thairm,
As langs my airm.”
Blair is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient. The patient responds:
“Some hae meat an canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat an we can eat,
So let the Lord be thankit.”
Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the PM moves on to the next patient, who immediately begins to chant:
“Wee sleekit, cowerin, timrous beasty,
O the panic in thy breasty,
Thou needna start awa sae hastie,
Wi bickering brattle.”
Now seriously troubled, Blair turns to the accompanying doctor and asks “Is this a psychiatric ward?”
“No,” replies the doctor, “this is the serious Burns unit.”
I’ve decided to tackle at least writing the basics of my cool new DOS for the Atari 8-bit computers with the emulator that I’ve got. So, I went out looking for some tools and some source code.
I’m finding that about half of the source code for various purposes that I’m downloading from the ‘net for this purpose…were written by me 13 years ago.
Frightening. These routines I uploaded to Compuserve and other places back in 1993, when the Internet meant UseNet and UUCP, are still around.
;
; Procedures ReadSector(BYTE drive, CARD secnum,buf),
; WriteSector(BYTE drive, CARD secnum,buf),
; PutSector(BYTE drive, CARD secnum,buf)
;
; All use drive number [drive] sector number [secnum] and 128 or
; 256 byte buffer [buf]
;
; ReadSector will read a sector, WriteSector will write with verify, and
; PutSector will write without verify.
;
; If using SpartaDOS, the routines will use the High Speed SIO routines vector-
; ed through LSIO. Otherwise, the standard vector ($E459) is used.

A message in my Held Mail/Spam folder had the following subject line:
