Drejk, you need to suppress that electromagnetic field you've somehow acquired.
At the moment I am necromancing old-old computer that was obsolete even before I got it from grandfather and wasn't in use since I got another reserve computer last year.
Also, I am using Ubuntu bootable disc (which seems to work when booted from a disk but fails to install) which makes it even slower than the machine...
But in my experience, it's spring thaw that brings these things on. Blame spring, not winter, which is innocent of all charges!Sorry, but your unrepentant support for winter, and all the evils that it brings, makes you culpable.me? But I hate sore throats, I used to get strep constantly as a kid and I eventually got my tonsils removed because of it. So it wasn't me...but then..whom...?Hello FAWTLY Folk. It is a decidedly not good morning. Wife and I both went to bed with sore throats that only got worse over night. And I think the boy has one as well, because he was drinking water like it was going out of style and was extraordinarily whiny this morning.
I blame FHDM.
On the one hand, it's true that spring makes allergies kick in like hell.
On the other, winter is guilty of many equally irritating things.
Clearly the solution is to ban all seasons except autumn.
look back - is it truly winters fault? Or is it because of springs fluctuations in temperature and increased exposure to people and their pathogens? Think about it....

Go forth with thy old black magitek.

I blame water vein supposedly running below the house...
This would make sense of number of electronics' failures through the last thirty years, especially the rate at which magnetic diskettes for my Amiga tended to go invalid in '90.
I think I'll go to my brother and try to download and burn another DVD with Ubuntu in hope that it won't go bonkers during installation.
It should be a bit faster after installation, shouldn't it?
look back - is it truly winters fault? Or is it because of springs fluctuations in temperature and increased exposure to people and their pathogens? Think about it....
Let's see, the things I dislike about winter....
> Inclement weather: worst of the year, unless you're in an area with spring flooding or tornadoes. (Which further goes to support my proposition of Autumn being the best season - usually not as much flooding in most areas AND tornado season ends in late summer!)
> It's COLD. In addition to being uncomfortable, this causes general difficulties in day-to-day living (icy ground/streets, vehicles being frozen shut and requiring several minutes spent warming up before its tolerable to drive to work, etc.)
> Increase in infections and decrease in general comfort, mostly due to cold weather.
> Increased level of general necessary maintenance.
Yeah I'd say Winter has plenty to answer for. Those are just the ones off the top of my head.
Don't worry though, Spring isn't off the hook either.

- snow can be difficult and deadly. But I'll take a snow storm over a tornado any day of the week.
- its easier to put clothes on to warm up instead of taking clothes off to cool down. And warm/hot weather brings problems too as pipes rupture and asphalt melts.
-increase in infections? More like decrease. Hot weather is a playground for infections, and all sorts of bugs. And there are many people who fare poorly in hot weather.
-increase in general maintenance? In summer maybe. I need three showers a day in summer or I am no fun to be around. I also need increased hydration and sodium.
So, you see, winter is quite pleasant. It's spring and summer that smile to your face and put a knife in your kidneys.
Just comes down to difference in perspective and experience. I've not had most of the problems you have with warm weather. (I'm always sicker when it's cold than in summer, I've never had to deal with melted asphalt, etc. etc.) You apparently don't have any of the ones I have with the cold. We're never going to convince each other of this, and I'm not trying to. I'm just listing my issues.
But simply put, no I don't find winter pleasant. At all.
(Also, pipes rupturing from heat must be a northern thing. All my life I've only heard of bursting pipes being due to freezing.)
EDIT: Also that maintenance line was about fixing stuff around the house, not personal maintenance like showering and stuff (that's not a use of the term I'm very used to, though I guess it makes sense). I find more stuff gets damaged when its cold than other times of year, again in equal competition with spring windstorms.

Ohayeveryone!Howsyourday!
Inhale a deep breath, keep it for a moment and then slowly exhale... Repeat a few times.
Did I mentioned that my computer started to act weirdly? Because it gone and died today... Just as I got up after a nap. Oh, wait, but you said that before on Tuesday... Nope, on Tuesday I was speaking about laptop... Today I am speaking about reserve computer I was using since that time.
How do you get on the forums?

You're very strange.
Mind you, I am no fan of summer heat, but I have never met someone so averse to mild Spring and Fall weather.

I also think population density has its effect on our experiences.

why does everyone keep saying this? It is not weird to hate summer or see spring and fall as teasing tastes of the chilly winter to come. Loving temperatures above fifty degrees Fahrenheit, now THATS weird!

In other news, my friend just had an interview with Kevin seimbeda (sp) about his upcoming Robotech tactics game!!!!!

I've ceased to be able to tell when you're kidding or not.
Well, the week is turning a bit better for some of us, at least. Talked to grandmothrer (92) for a bit, and she seems better than she's been after her most recent hospital visit - and then IFK Göteborg won their third league game for the season. 4 played, 10 points, 7 goals scored, 0 goals conceded. FORZA AZURRI-BIANCO!
(And Grandma too!)
My war is on!
Now, if just the April-shipment from Paizo would ship...
And good luck with your electronics, Drejk!

I agree. FHDM is very strange.... we're kindred spirits, but from opposite ends of the spectrum, as I say "Bring on the heat!"
Meanwhile, I'm "Bring on the mild weather." High 40s to low 70s.
Born to be mild, that's me.

Same, though a bit more on the higher end. 60s-70s - aka "Jacket Weather" - has become my climate of choice in the past few years.
Again, Autumn is Best Season.

Finishing up a project that should be released next week or so if all goes well. Making a list of all the things I've promised to everyone but had to say "not until after this project is done first"....
Try not to let the list get too long. And take a Yoohoo break for God's sake man, you work too much!
Remember folks, if you take money for it then you're a prostitute. But if there's a camera rolling, you're an adult film actor.
Does this count if it is in a car, on the corner, viewed by a police traffic cam?

Hooray and good luck to you! I know how finicky software can be. :)
Holy moly, more than seven thousand new posts. I've been busy! But now I can see the light at the end of this particular tunnel.
Awesome =) Good luck!

Necromancing even older computer. Which barely works. And has no OS, only a bootable Ubuntu disk that fails to install properly but somehow, sometimes works when booted from DVD. Sometimes.
I am going to sleep, to dream about perfectly working computer with modest capabilities... *sigh*
If I only knew that tomorrow would be a better day...
Some of these threads (and the people around them) are providing me with endless amusement. XD
Good morning FaWtL folk. The last 24 hours have been Hell.
I've been suspended for 3 days. That won't stop me. Time to write up my letter of resignation, look into social services, and hit the job market again.
What happened? D:
Problems with missing cash or something else?

I could use some, two or maybe four, at the moment...

Its the answer to solve all problems, and the correct number is 42 BttH.

How's life been treating you?
And... watcha working on?
I've been okay, but working hard and oh wait, you meant the other Gary.
Missing cash. Yes, how hard is it for a customer to exit their car, look at the pump where ever they are at and have the correct information for the clerk. I do every time I purchase gas and this even before I pull my debit cards out of my wallet.
I mean it's a simple formula: Cash Amount + Pump Number + Make and Model of Car = equals error-free service.

Egyptian mythology is really weird.
All the more reason to love it, I say!
