"Who are the furlings?" - Turn Tracking.

There's going to be a slight delay in my turn. I've moved to another city to start my Masters. I wanted to assemble my desk before I installed my computer, but since I have a neck injury right now, what I think I'll do is take my computer to my office, hook it up and then play the turn using my office's ethernet connection. I should have the turn ready by Friday.

Another problem that I encountered with my home computer. One of the clips that holds the CPU heatsink snapped off and the heatsink fell off. It's possibly been tumbling around hitting other components such as the video card and ram. I'm getting some guy in my physics department to test each component to see what's salvageable but I'm going to definately need to buy (or replace) parts for my computer. And I don't really have access to a WinXP machine so that I can install a copy and play from there.

Otay, Spanky. I'll be checking in from time to time. Honestly never had a problem like that before but will be looking to work musically from a laptop in the next 2 years. (apple). I've got a big aluminumunum heat-sink on mine. I have some support around that is going to get me at a base-line PC for @$200. Right now I am rattling the canyon-valley with my dinosaur cries.

detrius, do you have any estimate about how long it will take you to get your computer back in shape ?

[DetriusXii]

Yes I do. Probably on Tuesday. I'm still here. Anyways, networking my computer shouldn't be a problem as I can use my university's network connection. I have ordered a new motherboard and a new CPU but I don't know how long that's going to take.

I'll ask a grad student of mine to see if I can install SMAX on his computer temporarily so I can play my turn. I apologize for the delay.

Coincidentally, that is when U.S. is back from Labor Day weekend. So I look to be out-doors alot but look forward to getting back to the game soon. We are mindful and prayerful of all the displaced victims of Hurricane Katrina here. Its too close to the historical Tsunami tragedy, just eight months ago.

P.S. How do I change the horizontal length of my frame with this "boa" system?

[DetriusXii]

My parts are on backorder. I've asked for an ETA but I don't know it yet. If you want you can find a replacement for me. I'll still be here if you don't find a replacement by the time my parts come in.

[PJayTycy]

If they answer with an ETA, post it here please...

Uuuh, Detrius,
How is your neck injury? Is it getting better? You know, you can play this game on W98. I do. Any dinosaur will do. lol

[DetriusXii]

Good news. I can play my turn!!!

[DetriusXii]

Turn 2109 to Bearhugger. My neck injury healed within a week.

Anyways, I received my parts on Saturday and ended up installing a new motherboard and cpu by myself for the first time. I wanted to save on the labour costs. Took me the entire day, but everything is working now.

Are we on??

Detrius,

I haven't seen a turn in my email account. Is everything ok.?
It looks like things have been very slow around here but why not get things going for the entire AC forum, lol!

I'll PM Senethro and say hi. Meantime, drop us a line!

ttyl,

-maia

[PJayTycy]

Maia, you could send an email to bearhugger to ask if he received the turn from Detrius...


(today it's exactly 1 month ago I've last seen a turn from this game...)
