Does anyone know what caused it? I got some relief from the mafia game, sakeriver, and games.com. Oh, and I organized my favorites. I finally washed the "unwashables" that had been sitting my my kitchen sink. You know, flower pots and things the drying cycle of the dishwasher could melt.

There was some frustrated grunting, extensive grumbling, and occasional beating of fists against whatever was closest. Bottom line: I'm sooo glad we're back.

I just IM-ed some friends a lot. Luckily, a friend was on IM that hadn't been for quite some time, so we got a chance to catchup on each other's lives....

I'm with Rivka... Scrabble and Boggle! (And I even managed to beat her once... of course, this is the woman who knows of the top of her head what En means...)
Some sakeriver, some AIM, a trip to the beach and a lot of checking compulsively to see whether it had been fixed.

Apparently, there was some confusion as to why I was upset. I became upset when I got booted and could not reenter the game, with only nine tiles left in the bag. I was particularly upset because almost the same thing had happened to me the night before, after spending close to an hour playing. I'm not apologizing, because I didn't do anything wrong. I was not angry at any of the human beings in the room. I was, legitimately I think, angry at Games.com for not being better designed. I don't think I said anything particularly offensive to anybody. I don't like the apparent suggestion that I was a sore loser--especially given that I was not losing.

Ic, it is sometimes a very frustrating interface. (((((Ic))))) If you ever decide to brave its potential idiocy again, I'd love a rematch -- even if you beat me that badly a second time.

I probably will. My "never again" means about as much as Sean Connery's. I still want a chance to prove myself.

But you can't use "en" in Boggle, anyway.

No, that's a hyphen. An en is a dash like this: –. This is an em: —. An en is also a unit of space equal to the width of an en dash.

You're right, but my computer didn't want to make a distinction between a hyphen and an en dash, so I fudged. Shoulda known I'd never get away with it.
Out of curiosity, what're the codes for en dash and em dash?
