I'm back from the convention, and I have to admit, it was an absolute blast.

A security change in the BC software on Sunday has caused login problems for a few members. The solution is to make sure your cache is clear. Browser caches can be cleared by holding down shift (or control or alt, depending on browser) and hitting the reload button on the browser. ISP cache's are more problematical but this will also clear those in many cases. Some browsers have a cache-clear button in the preferences pane or edit menu. It may be called clear history. You might also need to discard cookies, though waiting a day or so will usually expire any stale cookies.

I am a fan of all sorts of fiction. I have found several other TG sites and do enjoy the prose. I marvel at the descriptions of the characters though. When I was 19 years old I was 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed less than 120 pounds. I thought about that and I downloaded a BMI calculator. According to what I can find, I was in the lower 15 percentile of my growth group. It gets worse as I go back to when I was 14 years old. I was in the low 5 percent range. And as far as shaving, I did not start shaving till I was well in my 20's and then not every day.

An incident which occurred tonite has made me realize that my priorities are way out of whack. My best pal, my housemate, the one person on this planet who knows me better than I know myself, called me, crying, feeling deserted and alone, and unloved. She was out driving at the time because she felt the need to be alone by choice, instead of an enforced aloneness caused by someone dumping her...again. I begged her to pull over and stop, and she complied, thus removing some of my sudden anxiety. But.

As Binky the Clown would say, "Heeeeeeeeeey, Kiiiiiiiiiiiids!"

I have to tell you all, I hate writing dialog. Really. I don't mind writing, but the back and forth between people, the conversation and the "" marks really makes me go nuts.

Bob and I reorganized the BC software to improve performance. It took a bit longer than we thought it would but now it appears to have improved performance 5% to 30%. :)

...and I'm still up. So tired.

Have you noticed that the list of users now includes everyone? It's a much better idea than the previous shorter list, although I'm not sure about being called a user--it implies some sort of addiction. Oh, maybe it isn't so inappropriate.

Angharad (as an author does that make me a pusher, as well?)

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this column. Julie has an unfortunate habit of upsetting transsexuals, and I'm not sure she breaks it with this one. See link below:

I caught this today while surfing.

The small town of Silverton Oregon has elected the first Transgender Mayor in the United States.

I will be recording the following as a YouTube video later today, but for now... this is something I have to say.
