Re: Joys And Sorrows
Joy: alot of things going on smoothly that i feel happy to express!
- Working at home soon!
- Fiber Op internet!
- Bills! Fixed!
Sorrow: Going to miss my old ISP.
I had to switch because my new employer required a ISP they were familiar with, and Bell-Aliant is too well known here in Canada.

Joy: I did pretty well on my big test!
Sorrow: Still got an insane number of tests coming up... in a little bit I'll be having two a week for most the rest of the semester.

Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
sorrow: so apparently the extreme lengths i had to go to in the removing of the shovel-ware from this thing a while back left lasting damage software-wise, which earlier today made it go haywire. had to wipe it and start over.
Joy: apparently i found such a small portion of the junk that the boot time post wipe is less than HALF the delay it was before... O.o guess wiping it ans starting over was worth it for more reason than one.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
*groan*: Time Warner's website is redirecting me from the login screen back to the login screen. Apparently my service was closed due to "Military Deployment." Guess who's not deployed and guess who didn't ask for a hold on my service. If you guessed "Deske" then you'd be correct on both accounts.
Edit: My roommate opened an account in his room and it basically overwrote my account. Luckily everything's getting sorted out.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
fright!!!: My computer keeps freezing up since yesterday, first firefox caused my entire system to crash, making it reboot itself, then today telegram causes everything to freeze up, so i had to press the reset button. I think it updated after i restarted, so i hope it's just because it's doing that. But i might have to reinstall window again to wipe everything clean soon

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Joy - I've finally decided what I want to do with my life, I want to be an artist. I'm working at it currently, as it was probably foolish to choose the one profession that I'm extremely bad at.
Sorrow - I have no idea what I'm doing, can't afford art lessons and there aren't even any professional artists or classes near where I live. Also, I cannot decide whether or not I want to go to college for art, or if I just want to stumble my way through it like a fool.

Sorrow: I spent way too much money there. I can't really afford it.
