September 19th always has been, and will continue to be, [Talk Like A Pirate day][]. Which is why (if the [plugin][] is working correctly) this entire site should be appearing in Piratese for the duration of the day.

*Note: this entry was written a week ago, and scheduled for later publishing. It should not be taken as an indicator that [Pipex][] have managed to get round to reconnecting me yet. In fact, if this note is here, you can probably take it as an indicator that they most definitely haven’t.*

It worked on the main page – but not on the sidebar.
All the same, hope all’s going well with move and dis/re-connection.
With a yo-ho-ho and a ho. No need for the bottle of rum, I’ll just have the ho.
I’m glad that the plugin worked – it’s just a shame that I didn’t get the chance to see it! Lyle – I kinda knew that it wouldn’t do the sidebar. I’ll try to remember to fix it in time for next year.
According to an email from Pipex (sent early in the morning of the 19th September), my internet at the new place was connected up on that very day. I’ll take the router round this afternoon and plug in to check.
Even more amusingly, it also worked on the comments. Not really a surprise, I know – hell, data’s data, regardless of whether it’s main content or comments – but it was definitely amusing.
Glad Pipex seem to have done something right too. Makes a change!
