Okay, tomorrow morning I ship my computer off to get fixed. This means that for the next two weeks I'll only be posting once a day. Hopefully.

I'm still with limited internet as I have not heard anything about my computer yet. Maybe another week. On the plus side, I found a proxy that my Websense hasn't blocked yet, so I've actually been able to post from work last night and Friday night.

Okay, Falcon NW just called me, they are replacing my motherboard. My system should be shipped back to me early next week, so it looks like I'll get it just in time to not be able to really use it since I'll be working. But it'll be worth it. No more crashing, no more BSODs. Bliss.

Tuesday, my computer is due to arrive on Tuesday and that is when my posting will return to normal. The worst part is that I'm supposed to go out with friends from work Tuesday night. But I've been without a computer for a month whereas I'm drunk all the time and I won't even be able to get drunk because I'm driving that night. GAH!

I was worried that this day would come. At least you're listening to the voice that's telling you "Hey, your career is kind of important, maybe you should focus on that!" Which is more than I can say for myself...

Age of Resurrection was the first TG game I joined, and it certainly was a great first experience. Thanks for laying out the welcome mat and being a great GM for a forum newbie. Hopefully if things settle down a little in the future you might find some time to jump back in, but nevertheless, thanks for all the good times, and good luck with law school.

AoR was the BEST game I have ever played in this forum. But, all good things must die, I guess. SV, kick some as at school and if you become even half as good a lawyer as you were a GM, you'll be like those rich evil guys in a John Grissom book, only not evil. Just pretty rich. Unless you want to be evil, that's cool too.

Sorry for the sudden disappearance, my computer is dead and work is sure that SA is porn or something. I probably won't be reliably online for at least another week. drat it.

I can usually find a proxy at work by going to dig, searching for Proxy and then sorting the results by newest. It gets around Websense pretty good.

I'm posting from my Wii, which isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Anyway, Alienware won't be refunding anything. But they are generously allowing me to take part in their trade-in program. I'll be able to collect either $300 cash or $500 Alienware credit on the system that has now cost me more than five grand over three years.

Maybe I'll just stick with the Wii browser.


I may be absent for some time while I try to secure a replacement computer. My GMs, don't kill me unless you have to. My players, please be patient with me. Especially since I lost all my plot notes with the computer.

Sigh.


If you can afford Alienware, you can afford Falcon NW. They kick rear end.

It's my birthday! Unfortunately for me this means a day and a half of debating if I should kill myself or others a little more than I usually do in a day with more of a leaning towards being soul shatteringly tired and depressed for a wee while.

Posting may be slow :v:

Posting will be nil to slow. Had a wake today, funeral tomorrow and then need to figure out how to get some sleep for work Tuesday night. Come Wednesday, though. It's party like a rockstar for 22 days. Posting frenzy will resume eventually.

Just so people know, I typically work six 12 hour night shifts in a row. That means that for those six days, even if I'm in IRC, I'm not really here. I post when I can at work, but that requires finding a working proxy. Tonight will be night 3 of 6. SO I'll only be posting between about 9pm-5am central and about 9am-10am central.

Upon rebooting my computer this morning after a windows update, I'm getting a BSOD saying my BIOS is not ACPI compliant. Googling the problem doesn't make it seem too bad so hopefully SH/SC can give me a tard proof guide to fixing it when I get home in the morning.

Computer is still broken and this is my last night at work. Never thought I'd be posting more often at work than at home, but there it is. If I don't get a solution that works soon, I'll just wave goodbye to all my audiobooks, unread comics from last week and the bits of my music collection that I managed to redownload after deleting it all on accident and just do a system restore in the hopes that it fixes it.

I am saying farewell to TG for an indefinite length of time.

Our internet had been out for two days, and I got a lot of music and video stuff done. It was fabulous. It made me realize that I don't really have time to be playing all these pen n' paper RPGs online and do all the other things I like to do at the same time. So, sorry to everyone I'm letting down, but I'm going to have to end all my games.

Sorry to see you go, but real life (and real life hobbies, I guess) takes priority.

Okay, somehow in trying to hook my 360 to the internet, I switched off the power strip that runs to my computer and now my computer won't turn back on no matter where I plug it in to. Hopefully there's some incredibly easy fix the Falcon guys will tell me, but I'm not holding my breath. My 360 still won't connect to the internet either, even though I have all the settings right. Posting will be sporadic until everything is fixed.

Night shift is right shift, bitch.

Unless you've been doing it for a decade and have lost most of your friends and never go out and never meet any new women and you wish for the sweet embrace of death because you're so damned lonely.

Not that I'd know.

I like night shift.
