- Well, now, I *had* shell access, via sending in ID with a solicitor's
- affidavit, but I didn't have the intermediate stage of validation... so when
- Nyx switched to validated accounts only, I was locked out.
-
- All fixed now, I'm just hideously behind on news.

- Nope. I live and work in Oxford. I get to keep this account for as long as a
- certain tutor holds it for me... unfortunately, I think this is his last year:
- he teaches who he likes and no-one else, and is going to be a journo or hold a
- job like mine soon. See, having all those extra degree qualifications *isn't*
- worth it |-)
-
- And it looks like I have Nyx back now.
