No Avatar is an Island

Last night I received a note that announced the passing of the typist of my Downs neighbor, Mr. AutoPilotPaul Qork, in a traffic accident.

I did not know Mr. Qork personally, though I had seen him setting up his house, and I had written about his project to collect daguerrotypes of the homelands of typists of Caledonians. I am saddened by Caledon's loss.

On a lighter note, I survived the Windows 7 upgrade experience. I don't see any notable performance increases thus far, however. Early days yet, however.
