Some welcome news via one of Tim Blair’s regular commenters on his operation.
Update: he’s demanding a laptop. (Scroll down to the bottom of the comments page and click on the link for page 2 and then go to comment #44 — the second page of comments won’t go to permalinks for some reason.)
He has some good news (see the Wednesday update).
Tim’s having a minor health setback. Foolish, foolish cancer cells — don’t they know what copious applications of vegemite and whatever other scary food Australians eat (kangaroo patties, I think) will do to them? One almost — almost — feels a dram of pity for the misguided beasties… Drop offers of support, beer, dancing nurses in short skirts, etc., in the comments.
Okay, kids, I’ve picked this red and black theme for now. But more important than that, I’m having my first fundraiser of the new year. I can’t say that I am broke because of the holidays, because I was broke then, but I still haven’t found a job. Rent is due, bills are coming up, etc. Also my cats are mad at me because I ran out of their canned food and only have dry. They are starting to eye me hungrily — as in, “You know, we are meat-eaters, and the two-legged thing does seem to be made out of meat.”
I used to have Andrew Olmsted on my old blogroll. I think I still do. We may have actually communicated, via comments or such, several computers and blogs ago. Well, he apparently had a post ready to be uploaded in case he was killed in the war. Here it is. I hope he took some of the enemy with him. Everyone needs someone to shine his boots and bring him his mead in the afterlife.

Update: here is more information, on his site on the Rocky Mountain News.
