Bhagwan @ Large

Hrrm

So, I’m a pretty smart guy, and I follow instructions well.

Not being able to fully install a plugin is more than a little frustrating to me right now. It’s not an insurmountable problem, but I don’t want to go crying to Puck every time I can’t figure something out for myself.

I’m a big boy now, and should be able to work the web on my own.

No polls for you, I’m afraid.
