Saturday Q&A

Questionable Correction

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to a special Saturday edition of the Friday Q&A. Thanks for joining me again. Some of my more astute readers may have noticed that this week's column doesn't appear on the usual day. My apologies for any inconvenience this temporary rescheduling may have caused.

Q: Do you have some corrections to make?

A: I wouldn't call them corrections, but rather "factual updates." The always-helpful i-dig happened by last week's comment section to set the record straight about the Scutinizer's status. Mutantdog.com, the domain which hosts the Scrutinizer forums, was recently renewed for another year. Additionally, mistersquirrel.net, which currently hosts the Scrutinizer itself, is not set to expire until December. This news comes as a relief to Squirrel fans everywhere.

Q: When can we expect the database issues to be resolved?

A: I wouldn't get our collective hopes up about that. At this point I'm just relieved the whole thing isn't going to implode in a few days time. We have several months before the mistersquirrel.net domain expires, and the site seems to function fairly well on cruise control. Unfortunately, its problems seem to have increased exponentially as the months have gone by.

Q: Has there been any relief from the theme drought?

A: Apparently not. As regular Clinic readers are already aware, Fark's Photoshop queue has lately been suffering from a lack of quality themes. Plenty are being submitted, but only a small number have been approved. Meanwhile, this column has devolved into a weekly rant on the subject. Hopefully, Fark's admins will read my insane scribblings on this obscure part of the Internet and be spurred into immediate action.

That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. I want to close this post by once again offering my appreciation to i-dig. His corrections to my alarmist rant from last week have served to raise the Clinic's overall credibility. With a fairly large amount of work, this blog could someday be on par with the believability of a supermarket tabloid.

Stay tuned for more marginal improvements from the Doctor!
