If any of those items are not to your taste, please inform and I’ll substitute.
Oh mighty tech God, we offer you all our worldly possessions in your honor, save our humble laptop computers and laptop accessories, so that we may continue to post your praises.
Please accept these twenty vestal virgins as our thanks.

I don’t know if it’s because not many have made it back yet or not, but the hamsters sure seem tanned, rested and ready.
Uh-h-h-m, I may be willing to add one non-virgin to the offering, if he’s so inclined.

I knew all I had to do was take a nap to get this place back up…
Yay! Thank you, thank you O Mighty Tech God!
Home Sweet Home…
Thank You Jerry.
Thanks so much Jerry 
Thank you for all your hard work and beautiful intelligence, Jerry. If you want to send me your address, I’ll thank you better with some honest-to-goodness PNW smoked salmon. With handmade card. And chocolates. And marionberry jam. And maybe even a cute little MsScottiBear to sit on your computer…to remind you how much we appreciate you.
[sub] you don’t, of course, but isn’t it the thought that counts? :)[/sub]
Jer-ree! Jer-ree! Jer-ree!
Can I hug the hamsters? God it’s good to be back home, and not even a huge gaping void where a bunch of posts used to be or anything!
thank you, jerry.
Huzzah!
Hurray, finally I can waste my time away from classes instead of being productive!
Err…never mind.
O almighty Jerry the Tech God, in recognition of the wonderful things thou hast done for myself and my people, I humbly promise to thee my firstborn son.

I was sending Jerry vibes of my best tech support skills. Hope he got a good laugh out of them.
So what’s the new hamster’s name?
Does anyone else get the vaguely creepy feeling that this was somehow linked to a hacker retaliation from Metatus.com for any legal threats or actions from The Chicago Reader?
Yes, well done old chap.
<devil’s advocate>
Sheesh, people, he restored from a backup. A trained hamster could do that on a good system.
A tech god wouldn’t have lost all those posts.

“What does Wikkit need to say to return to 0 posts and produce a very fat hamster?”
I often confuse Jerry the Tech God with Jerry Tha Sharpie Head from the columns of Herbert Kornfeld.
