Zombie Easeover – UPDATE – NEW LOCATION UNDEAD

Easeover is the Easter/Passover/Spring holiday that syncreticist mischlings like myself celebrate around this time of year. Seems like a good time to attempt a Zombie Contentions resurrection, too. The plan is to move this site to a new location, and a new web host, this Sunday. I hope that after the move we’ll experience fewer [...]

Back on duty…

Turns out it took my web host a full day to check the error logs and, contrary to prior indications, reveal that our difficulties were not their-hardware-related. They then left it for me to figure out that, for no apparent reason, they had switched a little software toggle that, not to put too fine a [...]

Site Functionality Restored (fingers crossed) (psychodramatically updated)

The long national nightmare of “an issue with our server” seems to be over. Thanks for your patience. UPDATE: Speaking of nightmares, and continuing a brand new old tradition at ZC regarding “site problems” posts, here’s another image from Black & WTF that seems to pre-figure how the subconscious mind might interpret running a blog, [...]

Sorry about the recurrent server problems…

Just when we were all starting to have some fun around here… like these guys: Giving me some ideas for a future ZC meet-up… If the problems recur, I recommend passing the time at Black and WTF, where the above photo came from.

LOG IN PROBLEM UPDATE – SOLVED?

Sully, Barbara, and anyone else who’s been having problems logging in, please give it a try, and let me know how it goes.

Note to anyone (authors) unable to log in…

…I think I’m close to solving the problem, but there’s a relatively time-consuming trial-and-error de-conflicting process that I need to work through. Turns out there’s nothing you need to do for now other than sit tight.

Message From the Czar

Y’all receiving e-mail notifications as usual? Seems to be a hitch in the Czar’s mail services, and we are wondering which techs to have decapitated. UPDATE: Problem resolved, apparently. We have decided on no decapitations, just some exemplary humiliations, mutilations, and confiscations, along with the usual torture. We are a merciful Czar. UPDATE II: Emphasis [...]

Zolt The Jew: I finished "The Israel Test" on the plane coming home from the beach, Colin et all my dear frems. I will try to email Colin a brief review tomorrow. It is a very important book, of just over 250 big print pages. I could write more on it right now but right now the blonde below is distracting my attention. There is something about blondes with that look and the puckered lips which drives Jewish men crazy, crazy, crazy, even after a full day of Shabbas prayer, oy vey!
CK MacLeod: The Blonde Below...
CK MacLeod: Stop distracting me... I'm conjoining universes...
narciso: Just to get it straight, you're talking about Lady Gaga,
fustidious: clean up on the recbrow aisle needed!
CK MacLeod: feh
fuster the never satisfried: I see that you've grown more fond of the menu on top thing. I liked it from the git, but wonder if you might to able to work on the eye-appeal of it.
Howard Portnoy: Wow, it's my first time here since your remodeled, Czar. Looks great! Kudos.
narciso: Moved on to the last of Larsson, the reason for Sljander's rather idiosyncraticpersonality, her father is a Soviet GRU defector protected by the evil Swedish state security, Sapo, Larsson's journalist background does allow him to expound on the 'national security state' hidden in Social Democracy

Said in a Thread
- when you’re a designated shepherd or sheepdog…
  March 6, 2010 | 12:17 pm
  … (remember you can designate yourself) part of you is actually glad to see a wolf, because now you can prove to everyone how important you are, by bossing everyone around for their own good.
  
  “A doctor and a peasant know more than a doctor alone,” the Italians used to say. Self-appointed doctors everywhere are working to suppress this insight. Human societies can save themselves from the next wolf, if they are allowed to do so; but it is hard for them to save themselves from the shepherds.

Collected Poetry of Sully
- Telomeres
  February 17, 2010 | 6:23 am
  Telomeres of defined length,
  Were by his God in mankind bent,
  To make it sure that aged ones,
  Would pass to make room for their sons,
  Before they learn to mount the hill,
  They yearn to climb, their God to kill.
  
  New daughters too then see their day,
  As the used up old fair pass away,
  And the brighter young can in their turn,
  Seek their creator’s iron rules to spurn.
  
  One day mankind may beat the odds,
  And take on the powers of the gods.
  Sure on that day He’ll mold an image,
  And include within his toy’s equippage,
  A strictly limited telomere,
  To set for it a cliff that’s sheer.
  
  For once a former God is whipped,
  Displaced by his toy free will equipped,
  The former toy learns something odd,
  About possession of the mind of God,
  Namely, knowledge of the entire script,
  Makes the endless now a boring crypt.
  
  Mere mechanical beasts are not a cure,
  For their script entire a God knows for sure,
  To divert a toy must have free will,
  And at least a chance to climb the hill,
  There to displace its God, a bitter pill
