In the past couple of weeks, a lot of folks have landed here at the site and we are very much scrambling to keep up. Many of the systems that we had in place that worked with a small site are less than optimal for the much larger site that we have become.
You knew it had to happen - and now here it is.
Since we threw out the welcome mat a while ago, it appears that about a gazillion people have decided to show up here.
Let me say in behalf of the site, welcome, we're glad to see you.
Welcome to C99! It's great to see you!
Over the past couple of days, a deluge of people suddenly signed up for the site, over 100 of them in a 2 hour period.
We had no idea you all were going to drop in all at once and it caught our server by surprise. We've upgraded to a new server with more bandwidth and so far everything looks good.
The person to thank for this quick migration of the site is Johnny the Conqueroo (JtC). He is the one-man tech department that brought this site into existence and has very ably made it work for everybody. Please give him a round of applause.
I got back from one of my not so uncommon hiatuses and C99 was a hopping. It was good to see the other virtual drifters, hobos and nerr do wells hopping onto the C99 train. I am the diarist formerly known as NCTim and I shall be your sporadic host this fine day.
For the uninitiated, I work pretty hard to keep my diaries content free. I like to let loose a stream of consciousness that is easier to follow if you are demented or inebriated.
Back against the wall; ask for charity? Running out of choices; damn me for not planning.

From home, old acquaintances:
Memories for sure
Growing to love this tune, especially the lyrics.
