You could just...not be on the forums...


And what? Have a life? Preposterous!


Finally doing some laundry.

I should probably buy a new washing machine but I want to conserve money. I heard the company in which I worked in England fired a lot of people and might have closed one of the lines - possible the one on which I worked meaning that going back there next year might not be an option...

Good news on the employment front for me. I had my first client accept a consulting proposal that I made. I start next Wednesday for a 2 - 3 week assignment. Fortunately, this assignment should lead to a few more projects with this same company. Fingers crossed.


Food?

*sigh* I need to cook something...


Cooking finished, chicken in asian sauce eaten... Washing plate can wait.


Time to sleep... I have an appointment with dentist tomorrow.

Any of you creative types want an alternate history for Dwarves? I've got the start of one based off some weird ramblings from a campaign I was in a few years ago.

Spoiler:

Dwarves were originally arboreal. Their beards were prehensile and they used them to do almost everything. Swing from tree to tree. Pick fruit, nuts, and berries. Cuddle their young. This is why they are short, they used their beards to do pretty much everything, only using arms and legs when absolutely necessary so they atrophied. Then the Elves came along and were mad because they didn't like seeing the majestic herds of Dwarves, sometimes thousands in number, gracefully brachiating through the woods. So, they worked some deep magic and caused all of the Dwarves' beards to go flaccid, forcing them to again use their stunted arms and legs. This, of course, explains the deep-seated hatred between the two races. Eventually, the Dwarves could no longer stand living beneath the beloved trees they used to roost in lovingly, and migrated to the mountains. The Elves likely helped them in this move by driving out of the best forests. After moving to the mountains, the Dwarves were still heartbroken by the sight of their beloved woods far below them, so to try and drive the memories from their dreams they started digging into the ground. It helped a little, so they dug deeper and deeper. Even now, millenia later, all Dwarves still feel the need to swing by their beards through the great woodlands of the world, but alas, they cannot. There are still Dwarves (wizards, clerics, and such) who are working on a way to undo the curse laid upon them by the pointy-eared Elven bastards, but none have come close to finding the answer.

It was a very weird campaign in which this theory (which was not true in the setting) was created.

Meh. It's based on supposed dwarf-elf hatred that I reject.

Dreams apparently hate me...

I dreamed a large piece of usable plot and I forgot it. I only remember thinking it's a decent plot and I should use it somewhere :/

Again.


Off to dentist in a few minutes.

If I won't come back build me a nice cairn.


I really like that alternate dwarf history.

Silver Crusade

I kind of dig it, it has the classic Dwarf/Elf clash, but then I am a traditionalist.

*Idea for character Dwarf witch with prehensile hair hex*


Back. Dentist was surprised by state of my teeth comparing to irregularity if me cleaning them. It seems that the source of problem is old filling that partly crumbled away.

I had an option to fix it at once and paying for it, or trying to renew my health insurance (by registering in employment office) and not pay for it - I picked the later and have an appointment set for 28th. Dentist stated that the few weeks of delay shouldn't matter if I haven't had any serious issues since the pain first appeared in late August.

It was quite funny when she was checking my teeth to determine state of the ailing tooth: she uses some sort of swab that was supposed to be very cold in touch when touching the tooth.

Dentist: Do you feel it?
Me: Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope... Wait, I felt something. Nope. Nope. No. Nope.
Dentist pokes my tooth with some sort of dentist's tool: Do you feel it? Apparently not because you would jump if you felt.
Me: Nope.

Lots of scared, angry people online today. It's enough to drive a man to madness.


I was chided for irregular and not very through washing my teeth, though, and complimented on strength of my teeth at the same time.

Two Romans walk into a bar and sit at the table. When the waiter comes over, the first customer asks for wine, and the second, a Martinus. The waiter asks "What is that?" The customer replies "You know what a Martinus is, don't you? Martinus, Martini, Martino, Martinum, Martinorum." The waiter goes away and brings the wine. "Where's my Martinus?" asks the second customer. "You declined the Martinus, sir" replies the waiter.

Happy Friday FaWtLies everywhere! Today's agenda - learn microsoft access to develop a partial payment mechanism for my customer database. I love wearing many hats. Also, need to start studying again for my, as yet unscheduled, certification test (lean not microsoft).


I've used Access before, but it's been years and I remember almost nothing. Good luck!


I think I done something in access ages before. I have no idea how many iterations it went through since that time.

Yesterday, my copy of Microsoft Access 2013 Bible arrived. That helps me with the mechanics and I have retained my basic relational database design knowledge from an access seminar I attended nearly 20 years ago. Fortunately, I am just trying to slightly modify a template and not create something from scratch.


Meh. Rainy.


¬_¬


Time to load the mp3 player with some Aretha, Four Tops, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and Al Green.

And maybe some Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, and Love Unlimited Orchestra if I have the time.


In case of rain, play soul and/or rock with heavy strains of Swedish folk music.

(or "Rainbow Over the Hill" by the Albion Band.)

That's some nice stuff, try some Dramatics, Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, Stylistics

I used to design Access databases pretty regularly. That was only 5 or so years ago, but I'm sure I'd still be rusty.


Muhahah!

I live longer than Mike is gaming!

Not much longer but still longer!

Think I have some Harold Melvin somewhere.


Also: new season of Friday Night Dinner. Woo and yay!


Squee! Baby bats!

And one being called Lil' Drac only helps...
