Hacking week

Its been a week of hacking at MT.Net, and I’m not talking about the geek kind. A cold hit the household with ferocity last Friday, beginning with a wicked scratchy throat.

Now What?

I feel like the dog that finally caught the car it was chasing: now what? I’ve got a tank full of 330 gallons of rainwater and nothing yet to do with it.
