I have a lap top - it is just that after 4 years I have not managed to get it to talk to the internet ...other than for a month back in the day ... by some fluke

I bought a mac cos it looked pretty and led a teenaged cousin who only really knows about PCs set it up....

Nothing in my house works ...technology is stressfull... and I don't have the time to sort things out .... I tend to lose the will to live after phoning "Helldesks)..and the corkscrew always works....

PS I am taking my god-father car shopping so I don't do something stupid like buy a barbie-pink cabrio on the "It looks pretty theory"

Even if we have enough players like... now, right this second... I'm about 120 miles from home. And as of this afternoon, I'll be three and a half hours north of here, deep in the Adirondacks to celebrate a friend's birthday far, far from internet connections, phone reception, and indoor plumbing.

So even if everybody recruits like mad while I'm away this weekend, the earliest I can start is Wednesday morning, the 25th...

Then I should withdraw from the game. . .

This saturday I will leave for an un-inhabited island in the northern Denmark and I do not think there is any internet for me to use there. . .even if there is I would probably not use it as the reason I go there is to be social.

After that I will leave for the USA.

So many places to be and revolutions to start. . .

Why don't we wait for a bit then? It's not been a good time lately what with the school hols, Harry Potter taking up all our time and Mithalwen's Motor Misery (I think you live on some mystic ancient ley line

). Though if we start soon we can maybe prevent Rune from stirring the proletariat and I am aching for some fun now I've finished The Book...

Oh Lal don't say that ... I have just bought a car (more specifically a Ka) so I hope my motor misery will be at an end, at the end of the week (I have bought a warranty too just in case.... )..

I am not really in to all that New Age stuff ..I know that the crop circles were manmade ... but the house does have some forest rights (the ponies used to "lane creep" till they introduced cattle grids)... will that do?

I will be back at "full enthusiasm" at Aug 12th the earliest.

After that I can play as the work begins and thence there will be no holiday trips or others... but before it... it looks very bad indeed now.

Brinniel · 07-22-2007, 03:10 PM

If we wait a bit, then I'll have to withdraw.

I will be unavailable August 5-17, and while I could still attempt to play afterwards if it is at all possible, I will be rather busy with a wedding followed a couple weeks later with me moving 3,000 miles back to school...
