Final update: moving in begins tomorrow! Wooo! The plan is to have the truck unloaded tomorrow, but the cable (and thus, the cable modem) won't be hooked up until Monday, so I probably won't be available (unless somebody has an open WiFI network) until then. The next obstacle after that is having the house tented for termites on Tuesday, so the final verdict is that I should be officially "settled in" by Thursday, but probably post capable by Monday.

Good luck on the move.

Sorry I disappeared! We lost internet access here for some loving reason or another and I didn't get it back until like five minutes ago or some poo poo. I'ma gonna start posting right now though.

I've sort of got internet access! Rejoice!

Regular posting will return tomorrow, with the aforementioned small break during the tenting.

I can't access this wifi network I'm piggybacking on during the day. Regular posting will begin tonightish, or tomorrow when I get my own actual goddamn cable modem signal.

My posting will be sporadic for the next few months.

I work at a portrait studio: our busy holiday season starts, like, yesterday. This wouldn't be a problem except that my only co-worker got herself fired on Saturday. On top of that, we're moving to extended hours starting Monday, meaning eleven-hour shifts. Again, wouldn't be an issue if I had help, but I don't. That's a eleven-hour shift I've got to pull all by myself. Every day, until we can find, hire, and train someone.

I'm scheduled some sixty eight hours next week. I don't have a single full day off at all. I have a few afternoons to myself, but that's it. There's no end in sight.

I have gone and fallen behind with some work, and now I'm starting to feel the heat from it. For the rest of this week, I will be nearly nonexistent. I can't afford to get distracted, so I'm not allowing myself to post until I've completed a significant part of what must be done.

My computer took a radical step forward in anti-virus protection on Sunday by crashing 4 times in 10 minutes and is now not letting any packets through on my internet connection (as well as breaking Steam). Everything I'm running is on hold until I can sort it all out, which might be several days. Sorry guys.

To all Castle Falkenstein folks:

I will be out of town starting Friday, October 27th and will be returning Monday, October 30th. I will likely post on Monday evening, as my flight gets in around 6pm.

Feel free to continue posting and keep up the dialogue.

...and I'm back. The flight back was very late, and I had some important home things to tend to. Updates later today.

I'm done with my move (actually I was done on Saturday) and I'm sorta back. My new place is a mess, but at least I don't have to deal with that rear end in a top hat of a landlord.

These dumbasses at the hotel while our house is tented can't get the internet working in their business center. Expect low to no posting until some time Thursday, as posting on my PDA is murder.

Yarrington: Jun 13, 2002; While I will admit to a certain cynicism, I am a nay-sayer and hatchet man in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another.

It's been a rough time at work for me recently, and until Friday when I (hopefully) will be off hellproject for good, my posting is going to suffer a bit. I prioritize my own games first, so those should be ok, but if I'm a player in your game and sucking, then I apologize.

Also I had no internet or cable tv last night, which sucked hard. With luck it shouldn't happen again, but Texas is a land forsaken by God and man.

No poo poo.

My internet went out last night and shows no sign of returning today. They're sending a dude out Tuesday.

Also, our power may be going off tomorrow because somebody is a lazy oval office.

So I'm gone, AGAIN, until further notice.

Cabbit: Jul 19, 2001; _{Is that everything you have?}

Update: Cable's fixed, but there is still a chance (at this point, I'll say 50%/50%) that my power is going off tomorrow. If it is, I'll be gone until Tuesday. Wish me luck.

Posting will continue for as long as I have power.

I'll be posting less than usual until the end of next Sunday. I'm running crew for a show that's taking up a lot of my time. By no means will I be slacking, I'll just appear to be more like a normal person with a job and a life and stuff.

Two things: Sorry I disappeared without notice. Computer decided to break, and it took a bit of work getting it back together again. Luckly, no data was lost.

Also, my great-grandmother died yesterday, and her funeral is on Tuesday, so I'll be gone Monday and Tuesday, probably not Wednesday.

I managed to abuse my power ever so slightly and borrow a laptop from work, so I'll be posting, just not as often, and I won't be in IRC unless I am so bored of the con I'd want to chat instead of going to the con I paid money to see.
