As for me, I am currently suffering through this big storm that is blowing down in the SE states, making work a bitch and soaking everything in sight.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.

Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Re: whatcha doing?
I should be preparing the house for the influx of family and dogs that are incoming on Sunday. But instead I'm imbibing and reading the board.
I hate the lead up to hosting Xmas. Once everyone is here and settled in, it's fine, but this wrapping presents grocery shopping clean everything oh fuckk what did forget stage is fucking annoying.
So, to answer "whatcha doing?". I'm bitching & whining.
Hail Satan & happy solstice, everyone!

It's not bad, just yesterday we went hard. I pushed myself to a fast walk on the treadmill, (3mph) and he really cranked it around after that. I'm *still* sore in spots. This is good pain, it means healing and strengthening.

Re: whatcha doing?
Trying to figure out how to get past the fatigue of a week of class and Physical Therapy to do some homework. I just want to sleep, but there's a pile of shit to do and it takes forever to do some of it at half hobble speed. (that said, the ankle is incrementally better every day, but it's not doing it quietly.)

I can't wait to get home from work. It's been a while since I've been so invested in actually fabricating something, and am really enjoying it.
Guess I'm not technically doing it right now, but spent a good part of the last 3-4 days on the headlight/steering damper and aux. light bar mount setup

Re: whatcha doing?
I'm doing what I've been waiting three damn weeks to do.
Doing interetting and stuff, and not at the speed of Hewlett Potato.
Yes, The Beast™ is hooked up and running, ha!
21 days since the motherboard died. 13 days since the disloyal leftover PC did a died, too.
13 days of being limited to a computer that couldn't generally keep up with my typing, would take most of a minute to open a context menu, and restricting background edutainment to whatever I could run on my tiny tablet. And that I then had to operate via the bloody touchscreen.
Now, I've got my big screen back. Yes, when your half blind ass, and your half blind eyes, need the app and text zoom factor of 225%, having a 32" screen is vastly superior to 24". Not to mention being able to stop and start youtube videos by mouse, not having to fumble with that crowded touchscreen (seriously, youtubte, your app's interface is like trying to operate the control panel of a nuclear plant with a broomstick tied to another broomstick). Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it's gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh!
The Beast™ is yet to be fully restored. It's sitting on a rolling tea-tray thing right now, all case panels taken off, only one of two massive radiators present (the one for the CPU), and the graphics getting handled not by my still fancy watercooled card but by the conventionally aspirated card I viscerated from the disloyal leftover PC.
And the restoration yet needs some bits. You know how it is.
Biggest problem are o-rings. After three years of sterling service, they have become set in their shape, they're not giving it up now. Elasticity zero.
Being a space nut, o-ring elasticity is something I'm very careful with. But can I just buy a bag of loose o-rings at the nearest o-ring store?
Not those non-metric 1/4" rings I can't.
Online, I kept finding only two options.
Option one, don't buy new rings. Buy complete new, pricey fittings, each coming with one single o-ring.
Option two, buying loose o-rings from a "domestic" seller. Amazon or Ebay, those "domestic" sellers would "ship domestic" in only 2+ weeks.
But where do I finally find loose o-rings, at a reasonable price, and due to arrive before Pentecost?
The same store that had saved my bacon with the unobtanium motherboard. You better believe I've bookmarked them.
So now, after doing some backups and updates, I'm gonna set up my new SSD to be mirrored on the buggy old SSD. Still gonna backup stuff elsewhere, too. But while it's still there, even if it won't boot reliably any longer, might as well.
