Nec Hoc Nec Ilud

* I managed to spill cocoa on Rupert (It wasn't even Tavy's fault. My hand jerked. It wasn't a lot of cocoa and though some got in, I'm crossing my fingers. If he no longer can use all his keys, I'll sort that out tomorrow.) He's taking an upside down rice nap, along with a massive amount of links I'd read, but not posted. I have a ton of things I did before I went to bed Monday morning that I put on the scaffold, but didn't post on tumblr because tumblr was too slow on Rupert. I'm going to put some of them up, but basically, all work on Rupert stopped midnightish and Klaus is having to do both sets of work which is less efficient. Sorry.
