Death to computers

It's double-blog Wednesday, kids. I meant to drop a post yesterday but, ugghh, you won't believe the day I had yesterday. Wait, don't go, I won't whine that much. Long story and a long day short, our computer server crashed. Anybody frustrated you can't get to our Web site, please send those comments to MetroWest Newspapers, 139 N. Main St., Brighton, CO, 80601 c/o Our stupid, dumb, double crossing, broken computer server. For those of you unfamiliar with computers (Hi, Grandma, how's the baby?) the server is our lifeblood, we store everything on it – stories, photos, ads, templates, Social Security numbers, blood types, emergency numbers, snow removal plans ( Hi, Brighton, still got the plan – storm coming) and then, with the confidence a computer will never malfunction, we foolishly believe nothing will ever happen to this server. Well, something did. My suspicion – one of those stray cats behind our building snuck in and was looking at porn or something less insidious. Nevertheless, we were flying blind for most of yesterday and had to lay out the papers using a primitive technique know as human communication. I know, I know, it was awful. But, not to worry, a new server is on the way. This would be my opportunity to climb on a soapbox and rant about our dependence on computers, but my computer might hear me and erase this whole post. Just in case: Repeat with me: "We love computers, what would we do without them?" This statement does not currently reflect the views of Kevin Denke and anyone else at MetroWest Newspapers. Uh-oh, better go, steam coming out of the monitor.
