Whoops, screwed up some things so nothing was posted while I was off on vacation. My first in almost two years to be exact. Laura and I went up north to Michigan to our annual Foog Fest which is a gathering of folks who play online together, ranging from old timers like myself from Ultima Online days to folks just now getting started in MMOG’s.
We had a pretty good time although the drive was one major ass suckage, 15+ hours one way so pretty much two of my vacation days were spent in the car.
We played several board games, Last Night On Earth, Settlers of Catan, several Munchkins, and some Guitar Hero Aerosmith, Rock Band and a few Wii games in general. We also got in a few games of paintball and I was able to break out my Line SI Bushmaster complete with Airgun Designs Six-Pack. Very old school shit but it still shoots like the sweatheart of a gun it is. I took my Automag but it ended up leaking down the powertube (seal issues) and the seals I have are old and have taken a set so I’ll have to see if you can still get them and get some. It would be shame to have such a legacy in a condition unable to shoot. I didn’t take my Autococker or Autococknocker as we called them back in the day. There’s only so much crap you really want to take on a vacation.
The host of this year’s gathering did an excellent job but took way too much on himself to provide food, cooking several really good meals for everyone but at the expense, in my opinion, of his own entertainment and enjoyment. I’m going to try and make a point of it to stress that doing one breakfast and one dinner is extent of any host’s permissions to take unto himself and everyone can fend for themselves as they see fit. And that’s optional. Seriously delivery pizza would be preferable if it means everyone gets a good time.
I’ve spotted some updates and news thingies I want to make note of and I’ll get to those tomorrow, it’s been a long day.
And it appears my appeal to my hosting provider (www.1and1.com) has fixed my issues with image uploads in my absence. I’m assuming they repaired the security issues with the tmp folder for the anonymous access account to allow the use of the ‘crunch’ of the uploaded images properly.
Addendum, while looking for an image to put in this post I found out that according to someone, apparently less than 150 of the AGD six-pack’s are known to exist. Well I know about 2 of them personally that I can attest to working perfectly. I also have a Micro-CA that works perfectly well as well. The Micro-CA is the littlest brother to the Six Pack.
