0100 - Announcements

This space is for me to post any announcements concerning new developments here, or in my so-called "real" life that might affect things here.


That said:

As of this morning, my mother was moved from hospice care to the emergency room, just as I am moving downrange to help my son, who has helped so much with her care for the last few years, move into his new apartment.

I am likely to be away from the keyboard for at least the next few days, into the weekend, if not longer.

I am deeply sorry to all who might be looking in here, but I must see to the living and the dying in my immediate family.  I will rmail everyone and post here and in my other games as this most recent of developments continues to unfold.

If you have family you haven't seen in a while, I implore you, use the time you have to be with them if you can, or just call and let them know you love them.  We can never express enough love, one for another, in this life.

0100 - Update on Mom

Folks, my mom is returning to her previous berth at the nursing center.  Her condition is stable for the time being, but not especially good.  I won't get into specifics, but we are taking it day-by-day, minute-by-minute for the foreseeable future.  There's nothing else for it.

Meanwhile, over the last week, I was able to get my son moved into an apartment very close to ours.  It is a thrill for me to be able to have a larger part in his life after so long.

quote:
So... today we have good news, und we have bad news.
Die erste Hälfte wird nicht verstehen,
Was ich jetzt eben gesagt habe,
Und die zweite Hälfte weiss noch immer nicht,
Was ein Earschplittenloudenboomer ist.


Yeah... I'm listening to Steppenwolf while I work.  Tinkering around here has already helped me help other folks here on RPoL, and has, over the last few days, helped me fill those silent hours past midnight with some more sane diversion from the crawling chaos surrounding me these days.

0110 - New Participant!

Welcome to Participant 001, BaxTheSlayer!

Hopefully, you will find my little sandbox useful as a place to explore various RPoL features.  That's our entire purpose here, to make RPoL more usable to more folks.

Definitely tweak the knobs a bit, and definitely suggest experiments you'd like to see.

Well, back to the lab, to see what's on the slab.

Homunculus!  Not that switch!  The other one - over there - AAAAAAAAGH!

0110 - Stormy Weather

Tropical Storm Gordon threatens to strengthen to hurricane force by its arrival in our area sometime tomorrow evening.

As a member of my workplace's Hurricane Rideout Crew, I expect to be AFK for a while if the weather truly turns south.  Since RPoL is blocked from work, this means I may be dark for several days.

Please carry on in my absence, and I will send up a flare when things reach a semblance of normalcy.

0112 - Moving On

The time has come for me to put up my tools, take off the hardhat, and move on.  I won't bore you all with the details (I've done that in my games, and this is more a laboratory than a game).

Is anyone here willing to maintain this lab-game?
