Big Fans of My-Lynx Associates
We are engaging in a play on words, not necessarily to be classed as a pun. We are in the midst of a computer upgrade. Our old main processing machine needed some maintenance last weekend, we are fearful that it may have outlived its usefulness. When is it time to upgrade? That is probably a personal decision, but we know that the motherboard in the old system is no longer being manufactured, and we hesitate to buy another one on the secondary markets where they are still available.
We will instead be transitioning to a spanking new machine (as in a baby spanked by the doctor and yelling?). But we have to do this slowly, since we will be switching operating systems as well to a more contemporary model. The whole process is fraught with peril and visits to the accounting department for more funds as we discover which bits of hardware and software are no longer supported in the new array of components.
Do you, dear readers really care? We doubt if you do, since we sell mostly books, not computers (we could, but the competition is fierce and we are too mild-mannered for that). But we will try to keep the prose interesting nonetheless.
We are in a sense "naval-gazing" [editor: no that is incorrect, we used the wrong naval word, that means we would be gazing at the navy, the spell-checker did not catch that: correct that to "navel-gazing"] as the old expression goes, turning inwards to the inner procedures of the My-Lynx Associates online bookstore's day-to-day operations, and sort of neglecting our vital blog duties.
For the inevitable penalty is that he (or she) who does not blog regularly loses visibility to the search engines through sheer neglect. [A blog a day keeps obscurity away.]
And we hesitate to mention the disappointment of our daily visitors who see the same boring entry for too long. So we will take a portion of this week's day of rest (it varies) and write a few reflective blurbs about our new big fans. We have some big fans on our new computer. It is still in the assembly stages, since we are calculating the optimum feng-shui orientation of the parts inside of the case. We may even put up a little mirror or wind chimes (if we can find some small enough) to optimize the performance of our machine in accordance to the procedures of Feng-Shui.
The words Feng-Shui actually mean Wind-Water in English, generally referring to the flow of energies in natural systems, and how to optimize those flows. And fans blow air through the system, so we are also calculating how the artificially produced winds blow through our system, but we don't think there is much in our Feng-Shui books about that.
There is currently a semi-hot debate of if the air should come from the back to front, or vice versa. But we have some huge fans installed (we will start with front to back air flow) that are 120 millimeters in diameter. The roar could be tremendous, we will let you know. Feast your eyes on a picture of the box that the fans came in, along with one of the plastic ties that went around the wires inside. We expect to be testing our new system later this week.

Hi - I am certainly delighted to find this. Good job!
