Stung Stingers and Deletions

I am consumed with the all things XXC right now. I love it, got a lot done, but the fact I was outside the house for the total of about 10 minutes is turning my mind to mush. Tomorrow I will throw myself full on in the the gray fall of WPA (not to be confused with the gray spring, summer and winter) of WPA and NOT to be confused with the 6 to 8 days of sun we had about a week or two ago.

These stingers got stung by the gutter dude/bug guy/contractor dude/dude that does all the man type stuff I don't know how to do today. INCLUDING killing giant swarms of stinging insects living in siding of my house!

XXC is close to ready (did you see the cover?), some cleaning up to do, some links to ad, a story to squeeze in and it will be done for Monday I hope. The mag is gonna be huge this go around, and I am left with some decisions on how to publish it. The DL will be HUGE and if I lower the output I fear it will loose some crispness and quality. Do I JUST put it up on Issuu? Folks can still DL if they want to. The thing is that Issuu doesn't let me track my downloads, just views. I could put the four mags on a disc for people, but then I'd have to charge folks for the disc/postage/time, and I'm not sure folks would dig that. UG! And to top it all, during some file testing and debating I accidental deleted #3 from Issuu tonight. So if you were on the site and saw it gone, that was why. It's back now though.

The Dos is set and ready, all I need is my mushy ass cheeks lubed and in the saddle and a plan for some miles in the a.m. As long as I get some needed sleep tonight (hopefully without the aid of sleeping pills again).

Later.

Thankfully I did NOT need them last night. Not a fan of sleep aids.

Jason- let me know if you want to bittorrent the issue. That may help offload some of the folks who want to download it. Either that or I could mirror it on rsdmag.com for you if you want.

Look at the stinger/needle on that sucker!

Good riddance.

Dan, thanks for the offer. Does a bittorent really compress it that much more? Do I host that on my server? Would mirroring up the speed for folks? Sorry to be such a techno-dumbass.
