[Bnomic-private] sigh

I'm still here.

I found out that I'd missed large parts of the database when I was doing
my last-minute backup, and the last full backup I have from before that is
from the beginning of the nweek.

So until Joel gets settled in wherever he's gotten off to, we're still
basically frozen in time, under whichever rule it is that requires
everything on the ballot to be publicly displayed.

Which works out well because I've got bigger things to worry about.

I'm going to be blunt, folks. My personal life is pretty well falling
apart. I'm not actually homeless, but my housing situation is rather
tenuous indeed at this point. I've driven about five thousand miles in the
past couple weeks. (The sordid details will soon be posted at
metadave.net.) As I may have mentioned, I'm tired, I'm hungry, and I'm
very cranky indeed.

I've never done something like this before, so feel free to laugh (or
forfeit the Nomic, as you see fit), but I'm screwed and I could use your
help.

If the many hours I've put into this game have provided you with even a
little amusement, and you have a dollar or two that you can spare, and a
PayPal account, well, you can finish the sentence.

The game will go on, either way, as soon as Joel gets nomic.net back
online, but this earns you my undying gratitude -- which just might be
more valuable than B Nomic Shillings, the way the economy's going these
days.

Anything collected in excess of my immediate needs (basically, lunch and
maybe gas for the car) will be saved for future nifty stuff, like maybe
buying "bnomic.org" or something and giving players bnomic.org email
addresses.

I'll get down from my whiny bitchy soapbox now.
