Recovering lost stories, one at a time

I’ve mentioned earlier that the database behind Blogger (the Web service that I use to maintain this weblog) has lost a number of my entries. As Murphy’s Law would have it, some personal favourites had vanished. It is only thanks to the modern miracle of recordable CD-ROMs and good backing-up habits that I have been able to recover these stories and get them re-entered. Here are some that I’ve put back online:

Breach of Security. November 2001: A con man comes to my house…twice. Hilarious-in-retrospect stuff ensues.

The con man from another world! The follow-up to Breach of Security.

Konichiwa, 2002! Fourteen years’ worth of New Years’ Eve stories.

They’re not “strippers”, they’re “Naked-Americans”. February 2002: Peepshows and accordions go together like bondage gear and Cheez Whiz. And by that, I mean really, really well.
