The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Saidit.net has blocked the entire Oklahoma City Metropolitan Library System!

Yes, I've confirmed it with the IT people there. The supposedly open and easy going reddit alternative, Saidit.net, where you can't even vote "thumbs down" on posts, only thumbs up for "insightful" or "fun", has blocked the entire OKC Metro Library system from accessing its site in any way. Do you think it could be me? I've been posting there for a month or two, got a fair number of thumbs up, and had some fairly amicable discussions, nothing deleted. Maybe it's a technical security glitch? Any thoughts? Maybe the people in Oklahoma City aren't right wing enough for them? Surely, no!
