A counter point to a fabulous holiday. I've been scarce already but have been at least checking messages/popping in briefly pretty regularly etc. But now doing probably 13+ hour days for the next two weeks (potentially for longer), so likely to be even more nonexistent.
I shall be on vacation basically until Aug 9-10, first up in WI bothering @Everiine and then vacationing with the wife during the week.
I'll be able to check msgs and such, but otherwise I'm out. Don't crash the City while I'm gone.
.oO---~---Oo.

If you're good, I'll let you use my internet and log on from here. But you have to sign Hallifax as a vassal of the Serenwilde first.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

1. Grandmother passed away three days ago. Only found out about an hour ago because apparently she "didn't want my mother to know she had passed away". So her passing message to our family was effectively a kick to the balls.
2. Broke up with my girlfriend the same day, though things have been rocky for a while now. Long story, no desire to go into details.
Going to disappear completely from the net for a few days. Apologies to those I made RP commitments to, but I just feel empty inside now. For now, I just want to go drown my sorrows.
EDIT: Spent some time talking with my significant other, looks like there is still a chance of mending things. Remaining optimistic, but is a weight off my shoulders on top of everything else.

So I'm not entirely absent, I'm just getting really bad Internet connection problems at the moment, so I apologise if I seem like I'm not logging in as much!
I will continue to be around a bit less until the 19th, when the internet at my new flat gets installed (mm, fibre). I'm still logging in every day and doing things, but during the daytime GMT rather than in the evening, so I apologise to all the lovely non-EU people I've been missing and will catch up with everyone once I'm all moved in
The State Department will be around my facility for the rest of the week, making everyone neurotic and keeping us extra busy. As such, I'll probably be more scarce than usual. As always, messages are good if I can't be found otherwise!
Just after settling in to the new place and handling new employment paperwork, I found out someone very close to me has died. It wasn't expected. I'm heading back home tomorrow for the funeral. This week has been brutal. I honestly don't know if I will be around much.

Well, looks like I picked a good time for my own disappearing act, too. I will be mia for most of this week. Messages are a good way to locate me, too... and I make it a point to log on at least once daily to see if anyone's sent anything... not that experience hasn't taught me otherwise... but one can hope, eh?

Sorry to hear, Isune *big hugs* Take all the time you need and know that we'll all be thinking about you and those close to you.

Oh Isune! I'm sorry. Come back to us when you're ready for it! Take all the time you need.

We come here today to mourn the passing of laptop number 3. It was a good laptop, sturdy, strong, dependable. Even after it lost a few finger keys, and lost CTRL, it was determined to keep pressing on. I suppose when it had its tragic affair with a virus corrupting it and then returned to us with amnesia, we were all certain it'll never be the same again. Sadly it seems it just couldn't keep its strength going and was slipping away. It'll be sorely missed.
Abridged version: laptop busted. Won't be around until I get a new one. Hopefully 3 days
I finished up the quarter today and got my final papers in and then I got called in the middle of the night. I'll be gone this week to go to Iowa for my cousins funeral. He was killed in a motorcycle accident this morning. I haven't forgotten about the Festival tournaments that haven't finished I will deal with them I promise I just won't be around until I'm back in Alabama most likely.

I want to disagree with this post because it is so sad....
Not that I've been around all that much anyway lately, but there's a project I'm working on that's consuming most of my free time. I still check messages, but that's pretty much all I can do until this is finished... which may be a few weeks. In all other regards, life is good. My apologies to the people I keep promising to do stuff for.
"Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."
From being extremely slow to dropping out entirely at random, my internet is balls at the moment. Hopefully it will be fixed by the end of the week, but until it is I can only stop by and answer messages at best.

My in-laws are visiting for the week, so I'll be around, but a little less often. Still popping in every day, though!

Got a very nasty case of the flu, so I probably won't be around much - while I'll be at home, I will probably be curled up in bed, cursing the inconsiderate individual that gave me it
Kiss of the Enchantress hisses eerily, "Let them fear, and despair."
I'm going to the desert to camp, watch things be set on fire, and consume art and dreams. Which is to say, after a long month or six of frenetic preparations, I'm going to Burning Man. Don't expect to see me back until 9/3.

All the way up to the virus part I was just thinking...get a usb keyboard! After the virus part I was thinking, new drive and usb keyboard. Sometimes I forget they make really good inexpensive laptops these days.
Going to be a bit more scarce for about a week. Rebuilding and, because of why I am rebuilding, securing to the point of excess two servers and recreating my development environment from scratch because I don't have a recent backup of anything other than my code. I will still log in to check messages, but I'm going to be swamped for a while, so don't expect to see me around more than a few minutes.
It would appear my "I'm home!" rejoicing was premature. I'm home but I might as well not be, I'm at grandma's pretty much 24/7 and there is no longer any chance of recovery. I will be around but this is hard, the usual magic will be a bit scarce.

I'm off to spend a weekend assassinating people. Back on Sunday night! (When I shall probably collapse in exhaustion. Let's call that back on Monday morning...)
