Morgoth's spawn

wiseheartActually, I intended to be a bit more consequent with my journal; if for no other reason then for myself, to follow my own progress both in writing and the sorry excuse I have for a real life. But I'm clearly getting older, and somehow work stresses me out more than it used to, and recovery takes longer, too. So, I usually just post something when I have an update alert to make - or if something pisses me off. Like now.
FF.Net can't be reached. I get the story alerts just fine, but when I click on the url, all I get is an error message. According to DownRightNow and the ffnetdotrant comm I'm not the only one. Some can't get to the site through Firefox but can access it through Chrome, for example. I can't get there either through Firefox or through my old, outdated IE. Now, somebody meant that it's probably because Mycrosoft stopped supporting XP. I do have XP on both my main PC and on my Notebook and wanted to keep it as long as my Norton is valid - buying it again when it will be running for another 300+ days seems idiotic. And I find the fact that Mycrosoft gave us less than a month forewarning rather shabby.
The only positive aspect is that at least I can reach the Pit of Voles through my iPad. So, if nothing happens, I'll have to try to update via iPad, which is a real PITA, or from my workplace, which has Windows 7. Neither version is very comfortable.
So, it's official: Mycrosoft is the spawn of Morgoth!
