WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE? Magpie is a former journalist, attempted historian [No, you can't ask how her thesis is going], and full-time corvid of the lesbian persuasion. She keeps herself in birdseed by writing those bad computer manuals that you toss out without bothering to read them. She also blogs too much when she's not on deadline, both here and at Pacific Views. Magpie roosts in Portland, Oregon, where she annoys her housemates (as well as her cats Medea, Whiskers, and Jane Doe) by attempting to play Irish music on the fiddle and concertina. If you like, you can send Magpie an email! WHO LINKS TO MAGPIE? Ask Technorati. Or ask WhoLinksToMe.

Sorry for being so scarce lately.
I spent a bunch of time trying to land a contract job. And now that I have the job, I've been too busy to blog. Plus both of my computers had catastrophic hardware failures on the same day, and it took five days to get even one of them back again. Hopefully I'll be able to slip in a few Magpie posts soon.

Too busy to blog.
I'm doing research for a possible new job, so there won't be any new posts until this evening at the earliest. Thanks for your patience! Labels: Housekeeping | | Posted by Magpie at 3:20 PM | Get permalink

Slow to nonexistent blogging today.
It's my last day at my current job, and I'm actually having to do work (archiving documents, deleting files, etc.). Hopefully I'll get a real post or two up later today, but I wouldn't recommend holding your breath while you wait. Labels: Housekeeping | | Posted by Magpie at 12:07 PM | Get permalink

Sorry for missing yesterday.
I was handed my two-week notice for my current job, so my mind was occupied with a few other things besides blogging. On the up side, I guess I'll have lots more time to blog Real Soon Now. Labels: Housekeeping | | Posted by Magpie at 10:57 AM | Get permalink

I'm baaaaack!
I think sometimes you just need to stop blogging for awhile to get your brain clear, y'know what I mean? Labels: Housekeeping | | Posted by Magpie at 12:45 PM | Get permalink

Don't worry I'm still here.
I just took the weekend off from blogging. Plus my brain is having a real hard time getting started this morning. Labels: Housekeeping | | Posted by Magpie at 10:00 AM | Get permalink

It figures.
I finally start blogging again yesterday, and what happens? I wind up flat on my back, sick, for most of yesterday and part of today. I'm sure Dubya is to blame for this, somehow. At any rate, regular service will resume tomorrow. Labels: Housekeeping | | Posted by Magpie at 5:13 PM | Get permalink

The dog ate my posts.
OK, I don't even have a dog. And I really haven't posted anything in more than a month. But I think I'm really back this time. Thanks to everyone who's patiently checked to see whether there's anything new here at Magpie, and a special thanks to those of you who emailed to make sure that I was okay.
