I woke up this afternoon to one of my ‘forward looking’ dream-images (some of which, over the years, have come true to varying degrees). This time, it was a series of weblog posts about various things in the Myst community, but nothing at all related to Uru itself.
This makes me wonder if I really [...]

Going Forward…
Upgrades, Part 2
Two good pieces of news in the notebook front:
-> Pulled out the 40 gig from its little case (the one I’ve been using to make it my Debian Slug disk) and looked up the part number on Toshiba’s site. It’s a 5400 RPM, and is the same size as the old Sager and HP [...]
Much Fun /w Upgrades…
Lots of things in the last couple days:
-> Upgrade both my sites to WP 1.6.1; Unfortunately that also required I switch off of Fantastico and onto something called ‘Simple Scripts,’ but the interface does not look *too* bad and I guess I’ll just have to watch and see…
-> The two notebooks had their HDDs swapped. [...]
Findings on Recent SL Issues (1.20 v 1.19 & earlier)
Well, purely by accident I’ve discovered a primary factor in my high-CPU usage. It was unbelievably simple - Dual Monitors.
Last Friday I caved in and bought a 24″ monitor as an upgrade to my two existing LCD workhorses - a Dell 20″ widescreen and a Dell 19″ - which were still doing OK but [...]
MA to NJ, and Mysterium After Action Report
Yeah, I’m a week late in posting this, but still not quite back into work due to being away nearly 2 weeks…
So, the drive back to NJ was about 4.5 hours this time. Again, I was tired (Sunday night I was up later than expected, even if I didn’t actually eat anything at The [...]
Travel Update 2 - MO to MA
So, the flight home from MO to NJ was delayed a bit from Memphis last Thurs, but otherwise was a nice enough trip. And I had some ironically amusing fun with the Newark Airport long-term lots (since it was the first time I left the car there). But the week was fun, things [...]
Mysterium Travel Woes - Driving Trip
Well, I’m having a slight problem, as mentioned on UO. The hotel is not actually in Boston directly, but Burlington (which is a suburb outside the normal local subway, aka the T). It is slightly available via a bus (350/351) which could be possible but that only takes me to Burlington Mall and [...]
Travel Update 1 - Dexcon / Flight to MO
*waves from Springfield, MO*
Well, though Dexcon was not the full weekend for me, it was still pretty good.
I didn’t really *play* anything official (other than James’ LARP module). I did, however, get back into the ‘Avatar System’ LARP that pervades the Double Exposure convention system. We’ll see how that turns out; I had [...]
