Got up from my second nap of the day to realize that my lack of caffeine might have something to do with my sleepiness, so just had a cup of Fujian Baroque. This cut-back-on-artifical-sweeteners thing had the pleasant side effect of gently weaning me off caffeine so that after several days of having soda (convention nutrition, I know), a lack of caffeine for 24 hours did NOT result in a raging migraine, but instead excessive sleepiness and a mild headache that is, even now, going away without the aid of OTC meds. Yay.

Not mentioning anything much about Amazonfail here because I don't want to argue about it in the comments, and anyone mentioning it here will be politely ignored - feel free to go to ALMOST ANY OTHER JOURNAL ON MY F-LIST for that. :) I'm continuing to use Amazon because my basic measure of evaluating a company is not whether they screwed up in the first place, but whether they fix the error, and by all appearances they seem to be doing so.
Why I brought it up in the first place is to mention that while I'll still be using Amazon Associate codes in links to books and other things*, at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rachelmanija's suggestion, I've also created a Powell Partners account. Same as the Amazon Associates account, the proceeds (a kickback of 7.5% of each purchase, in this case) go to funding Project Blue Rose reprints and other associated expenses. I'll be attempting to remember to use such links for those who choose not to shop through Amazon but are still willing to support PBR through buying books.

* If I forget to note them as Amazon links, hover your mouse over them and look at the URL in the bar at the bottom of the browser to check if it's an Amazon link. If you want to see if it's an Associates link, it'll have "probluros-20" or "telophase-20" in the URL somewhere.

Lesson learned: try to avoid the words like "glitch" in your PR damage control on this sort of thing, because people won't believe you unless you are prepared to show them the code and make a strong case. We've all been burned too many times to accept that sort of thing at face value.
