Usually there are lots of posts on TMV, but there may be fewer today: in my own case, I will be unable to post. This morning, in the middle of a post, my office computer went totally down. We think it may be the hard drive which either means I’ll need to replace the hard drive or the computer.
This happened on a day when I have a major event and, even though a lot of it was saved and printed out, all work done this morning is gone for the day. So, I have to redo all of it. I will be unable to do any posts for TMV today.
Also, if you ever wanted to donate to TMV, this is a good time to do it. If you want to contribute, you can do so by going to the right side of the screen. You can donate via PayPal, Amazon.com, or even sign up for a monthly contribution through Blogpatrons. Most of my own posts are written on my office computer, which also has some data I store for TMV posts.
