You probably can't hear me shouting, which I have to do to be heard over the noise of the storm. The others actually in the hold can barely hear me.

I hope you can get your laptop working, Job.

Mr. Handy is correct, Anatomist. The storm is about the volume of a freight train thundering past, so you would not be able to hear them. You might feel the thumpings of the engines rolling about, but they're mixed in with numerous other bumps, crashes, and grindingS.

Rgr that. Øyvind does hear the thumps, but i dont think anyone would think that was a strange given the storm. but i was thinking shouting would. Anyways, Øyvind stays with his dogs, mourning.....

I'm once again posting from my phone. *sigh* no change in the past week or two. My new keyboard hasn't yet arrived.
My machine is also giving me the blue screen of death now, so I think that I may need to bite the bullet and purchase a new laptop. I'll try to post from my phone every now and then, but it's not a good way to do so.

You don't have some scruffy pc up in the attic to scramble up?
I have one ready for shipping but the postage is a killer!!!!

Good luck in finding a new lap.

Nope, no old replacements... I'm "negotiating" with my adult kids to "rent" a replacement tho.

I have good news! I received my replacement keyboard (shipped from Hong Kong, China) this weekend and spent most of Sunday installing it and performing stability checks on my laptop's CPU and GPU. The keyboard is now working just fine, so I'm able to now use my laptop for Play@YSDC posts.

Unfortunately, not everything is fixed. I'm still experiencing the occasional blue-screens-of-death and have traced them to a faulty GPU. I'm now bidding on a replacement for that.

But I can now continue the story without tremendous frustrations! I'll be back posting this weekend.

Job.

I apologize for halting this thread viewtopic.php?f=212&t=2941&p=164943#p164943 Ive been at the hospital with a wound on my leg, and being a hemophilic does not help. I got no wifi here and i have some sedatives that make me sleep a lot. Ill catch up next week when im supposed to go home.

Geez Anatomist, I'm sorry to hear that you're having health issues. May you have a speedy recovery and be back with the expedition soon! Let us know if you need an elder sign scribed on your behalf.

On a different topic, below is a pic of my laptop surgery that I've been performing over the past two weeks. The first surgery was to replace the keyboard; this picture is of the replacement of my graphics card. Both surgeries were successful and my laptop is now fully operational.

Hi Anatomist,

In your recent post, what does this mean?: sudo katie tail -f

This must be some sort of programmer language. But I'm going to assume that George follows Katie and Starkweather.

Job.

Mr. Handy,

That is an amazing dice roll! Katie couldn't have come any closer to failure, and I'll ad lib a bit of extra description there to match your tongue-in-cheek "Nimble as usual" comment.

Haha! It is. It how you see whats been written to a file as the file is written (you are tailing it). As Error logs and such. -f is acronym for --follow

Follow link if you are brave, linux things hidden behind the blue text

Thanks! That was quite a narrow success, and I'm lucky I had the 17 DEX.

I'm a computer programmer, but I haven't worked with Linux before. I have used UNIX, and I can see the similarities.

Hey all, this is just a note that I am caught in the web of social responsibilities for the holiday season. Since Thanksgiving, my free time's been consumed with family gatherings, cooking, cleaning, shopping trips, parties, and soon a trip to California to visit with my Mom. I suspect that I'll have little time to do much writing before the new year.

I hope that everyone builds excellent memories during this holiday season, and that we all have a very Cthulhu New Year!

Job.

Thanks Job and happy holidays and new year to you too.
Im on vacation in Chile visiting my family over here and having a very unnormal Christmas with +35C, the kids are all longing for snow. hahaha its gonna be 38 C tomorrow... so i guess they wont get that wish granted.

Happy holidays and new year to my fellom players of BtMoM! we are adding another year to this adventure!

Right after the holidays, I was alerted to my Mom (living in California) becoming very ill. Time is now very short for her. I'll be back in touch after all of the travels and family gatherings are over. Sorry, this has been a very trying year.

My Mom passed away this morning, so this will continue to be a quiet period for the campaign as my family works through the process. I will occasionally let everyone know how things are going and will also alert everyone when I hope to resume the expedition.

J.

My sincere condolences Job. Im pretty sure we all going to be here when you feel for picking the campaign up again.

My condolences.

My condolences as well. I'll wait as long as you need.
