Isabel spent a lot of time working on the book today. And a few family issues came up. So today's comic will be late. But we should have it up during the day soon.

Woah... if I had waited any sooner, it would almost be a month since I updated the news section of this comic... sorry about that.

If any of you read Namir Deiter (use one of the many links to the comic surrounding this site), then you can probably guess what's been taking up all my time as of late, and I'm not talking about Dealing With it, my seven-comics-a-weekly updated biographical nightmare, but the Studio Ironcat published ND Book one book deal (woah... too many 'books' in that last sentence).

It's also slightly to blame (only slightly... if I had kicked my butt even more and hadn't gotten so many sick baby cooties I could have gotten more comicing done) for the removal of the Saturday update- which is back for as long as I can do it (which should be from now on since the book is so close to being completed-at least on my end- that I can almost smell it). So yes, new story arcs, new linking buttons, new site design, enjoy life, today!

Sorry for not mentioning it sooner, but due to the stress of the way life is going right now, I am going to have to stop updating YSiF on Saturdays. Hopefully this will only be going till the end of this arc.

Other than this, no other news to report... sorry.

Our Saturday readership is low so we're looking to update on Tuesday, Thursday, and...another day. Vote, please.We're looking forward to the new Iron Chef America series on The Food Network. My pick is Sakai (Iron Chef French) over Flay, because Sakai is the hardest one to beat. Flay has battled Morimoto before, one win, one loss. I think that Morimoto lost that one because he tried to avoid soy sauce, which is the main flavoring in Japanese food. And I pick Morimoto (Iron Chef Japanese) over Batali; I haven't seen Batali show the kind of stylistic flair required to win. His food is good, but it isn't art in the way that the Iron Chef's are. Maybe he'll surprise me, though. I wonder who they'll have against Wolfgang Puck. I don't think it'd be Kenichi (Iron Chef Chinese) - he's less flashy than Morimoto or Sakai; he has less TV personality. I don't think he'd make a good secret chef.

Scanner works again. Uninstalled Isabel's cute postage-stamp-sized camera, removed the right keys from the registry and reinstalled Windows. So we're only 5 hours behind where we wanted to be. We may have a comic for you tomorrow.

Our scanner has stopped working. Or, rather, the driver for it has stopped working. Works fine on another system. Problem is the driver. "The required section was not found in the INF", it says. Tried un/reinstalling it. Tried editing the registry and renaming the appropriate INF files. I tried system restore and it just broke my user account.

So I copied a portion of an older registry. Now it detects it, gives me a Windows XP logo warning and fails to install. Says it's at Location 0 and we can't access it. And the driver pack we have doesn't have any kind of .inf files. If it did, I could manually set it up.

So the short answer, as above, is that our scanner is hosed (Hardware Or Software Error Detected). I'll hopefully be able to unhose it tomorrow.

Welcome to all the Kevin & Kell readers coming in! Glad to have you here. If you're new to You Say It First, start at the first comic. Or if you're new to the whole thing, start by reading its prequel, Unlike Minerva.

We just got back from Ikea, looking at the coolest, most modular, most Swedish furniture around. We're moving about a mile north and trying to get things situated. I've got a few more leads in the job department. So basically we've spent the last week painting and looking for work.
