  71. Day 16:

  74. I was talking with a coworker today, and he said he might be able to fix my machine.
  75. I don&apos;t know how far he will get, but it&apos;s worth bringing it in for him to look at it tomorrow.
  76. If this works out, I could be back online pretty soon.

  79. Marc With a C&apos;s yellow vinyl record came in today.
  80. I almost left it in the shipping package, but I just had to take it out to see the album&apos;s sleeve.
  81. I&apos;m not going to remove the shrink wrap, as I don&apos;t even have a record player and don&apos;t want this limited edition collectible to get damaged.
  82. I&apos;m glad I took it out of the shipping box though, as I got to see several cool things on the cover.
  83. For one, it appears that Marc With a C is not the original singer or writer of Terror Song.
  84. I looked up the original, and like with the Bed Intruder song, Marc&apos;s version is much better.
  85. It&apos;s interesting to know the history behind the song though.
  86. Lastly, and most importantly, Marc&apos;s copyright statement made me really happy.
  87. It says &quot;copyright 2005, but use it however you&apos;d like&quot;.
  88. Marc already made it clear on his Bandcamp page that the album is available under the Creative Commons Attribution License, but little things like this serve as reminders that not every artist sells out and not every artist is a copyright-hoarding douchebag waiting to sue the pants off of any fan that decides to share and/or build upon his or her work.
  89. Sometimes I like a reminder that not everyone is the badguy.

  93. I couldn&apos;t update my <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> today, as I was cut off from my Web/ssh server.
