Still not dead

I only realize how finely tuned my online reading habits are when I loose about a week completely due to computers deciding to die. Now, after I've forsaken Windows and figured out how to do most of what I want and need to do on Linux, I'm stuck with a backlog of 800 flist posts, about 250 articles in my feeds and about five How-Tos to work out the remaining problems.
Of course this would be the moment for me to start on another fantasy trilogy of about a thousand pages.
