Have you checked your DW & LJ friends list recently?

I realized I hadn't heard from a couple of friends in some time, so I cruised my friends list. DW has this cool thing that shows you when they last posted - and they hadn't posted since JANUARY!

I sent them nudges, saying nothing more than I hope they're okay and hope to hear from them soon. And I heard back from one overnight, they'd installed a Microsoft update that clobbered their bookmarks and they weren't able to recover their DW credentials and had to start a new blog! The other two, nothing, but I just did this last night and not everyone is on every day like me and others.

I just hope they haven't become Covid casualties.

I'm glad you heard back from at least one. These are worrying times. It's better if the answer is "Oh, I had a baby / nervous breakdown / cross-country move, and dropped off the net for a while."

Or developed a new hobby that ate all accessible brainpower, in my case. Sorry again for making you worry, Wayne.

Heh.  Just happy to know you weren't felled by the virus!
