FateLords


Some of you may know what I'm talking about here merely by the title of this post. For those that don't, I'll give a brief overview.

FateLords is a real-time online strategy game which was started in 2002. It "officially" closed in mid 2008, but the site is still up if you know the IP address. I happen to be one who does. THIS is the login page. Be careful as some of the links are hardcoded to the old domain name, which is now owned by a third party who wants a whole lot of money to sell it back. We're talking at least 1500 USD. At least. That combined with the game being officially closed explain why the game's owners, Dokeda, aren't buying it back.

At any rate, I recently updated the Wikipedia article about the game, and wanted to drop a bit about it here for permanency's sake. Though this post will drop off of the front page eventually, I'll also eventually get around to writing some code which allows users to access old posts, and even reply to them. We'll see when I have the time for that... >.=.>

Anyhow, be well, and may the Winds guide you in your Journey.

Contests Revisited


Those of you who participated in one of the AWSWAN Contests (you should know who you are; check the Contests page if you're not sure) have noticed that, although you won the contest(s), you were never given the promised prize(s). I am currently waiting on a rather large check from the US military, after which I should be able to afford payouts to the individuals involved. I apologize for the delays.

Go well. May the Winds guide you in your Journey.

Service Outage!


Some of you may have noticed a temporary outage of this site and all of its related services. Indeed, I noticed it myself when I went to use the Internet and found myself unable to do so. You see, one negative side effect of having the server in the same place I live is that when I lose Internet, so does the server. And I haven't been employed for several months, so paying for the Internet myself is difficult at best. And I haven't received any donations recently, so the Internet was unpaid and went down. It hasn't been a whole day yet (that's about 5.5 hours from now) since the Internet was shut off, and I have no idea how long it will be before I can afford to bring the site back up on my own. However, if you're reading this, it means the Internet is back online. For now.

The natural flow of a post such as this is to request donations to keep the site online. Since you already know that, I'll spare you the song and dance. I'm guessing you'd already be donating if you could at all afford it. I just hope that I can get a job sometime soon so the chances of this happening again decrease to insignificance.

Anyhow, just thought you'd like a status update. You should be able to see this when the site (along with my Internet) comes back online. Until I can chat with you all again, may the Winds guide you in your Journey.

Obligatory Update


I am alive. I think. I need to figure that out.

In other news, I am officially in the USNR. (that's United States Navy Reserve, for those who don't eat acronym soup on a daily basis) Still waiting to see my bonus arrive in my bank account. I'm told that could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Given the amount of time it took to actually get into the Reserve, I'm not holding my breath. It sure would be nice to get the money soon so I can get my car finally. But oh well.

I've applied for a job doing technical support for a local service agency. They provide a number of programs to help individuals of all ages overcome various situations in their lives and attain self-reliance. For those who are interested in more info, their site is here. The job itself is called Information Technology Support Specialist. It's pretty basic technical support, along with training and system improvement responsibilities. I won't know if I'm in the running to get the job until the 16th 17th 20 at the earliest. I anticipate it will be a little later than that, since the applications are all due at close of business on the 15th, and whoever is going through them will need to review them all before calling in applicants to interview and whatnot, so it may probably will be as late as the 20th before I hear anything there. Wish me luck!

On the 25th I will be attending the wedding of a couple of my friends. They are attempting to negotiate an officiant for the service, but if one cannot be found I will be removed from the groom's line and placed in the officiant's position instead. No other officiant could be found, so I'm taking over I'm more than happy - and legally qualified - to officiate the ceremony. Either way, I still need to upgrade my wardrobe to prepare for the ceremony. Incidentally, the upgrade for the wedding will also help me prepare for job interviewing. I may end up needing a suit jacket for interviews with some companies. Indeed, I have everything besides the jacket already.

My various projects are on hold as always. I think I'll write a little progress report thingus for the site so everyone can keep track of my progress on the various things I'm working towards. Did that. See "My Projects" to the left. And bug me about them until I actually do them. And possibly even bug me about reprioritizing them. Or something.

At any rate, I have little more to say, other than I HATE HEADCRABS. But so does everyone else. Except Dr. Kleiner. But he hardly counts. Anyhow, go well, and may the Winds guide you in your Journey.

Mindless Blather


OK, so who remembers watching Pagemaster? Released in 1994, it contained such greats as Leonard Nimoy (who has far too short a role in the film, if you ask me), Patrick Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg (all three of them Star Trek veterans), and the always entertaining Christopher Lloyd. Also in the cast was that Culken kid, and though he played the main character, I forgive the movie for that fact.

Anyway, I just got finished watching it again on YouTube - for the first time since it was released. Yes, this is the second time I've seen the movie. Ever. Interesting what adventures you can have when you fall unconscious and hallucinate stuff, no? If you haven't seen it for a while, dig out a copy, or head to YouTube and search for "pagemaster", then scroll down to the first playlist. Skip all the individual videos; they're in the playlist anyway, and with the playlist you can just click Play All and not have to bother with finding the next part.

There are, of course, many other great movies from days gone by. What are some of your favorites? Hop on over to the Forums and post your thoughts.

Until next time, may the Winds guide you in your Journey!
