I'm sorry I missed you 'face. See you tomorrow.
Cut and paste from the about page of King Prout. You must apply to him for your own title:
"NicknamedBob - K'nigget. Imperial Weatherman and Subverter of Manitoba. Supreme Architect of the Floating Citadel. Royal Bard of the Order of the Holy Aranea, Spinner of Complex Yarns."
Hi, Miss Tulip!
We've been chatting with Nicmarlo. (Darksheare and I, but he dropped out about fifteen minutes ago.)
Say "Hi!" wont'cha?
ah, yes....and I see darks, as well, has been "knighted" as
Darksheare - K'nigget. Lord Accountant and Grand Justicar of All Truly Insane Notions
How fitting, lol!
Hi Tulip.
So, where did ole darks scamper off to??
Yup.
Crispier than a crisp.
I got myself sidedtracked!
(BackUPS APC swap, fun!)
No telling. He hasn't posted since 3335, at 9:47 East Coast time.
Darks and I do engineering work together. If I propose an idea to him, and he likes it, I know it's a really bad idea.
Which of course doesn't mean we'll stop, it just means we'll add a crash helmet or seat-belt. Sometimes both.
Well, it does suit.
He even knows how to turn an owrk into an owrker.
;-)
(Yet another of my famed typos forever enshrined in the Undead Thread where it will be safe from the FR Lexicon.)
is an owrk/owrker supposed to be work/worker, foflol!
lol!
I'm back, sorta.
Got sidetracked again.
;-)
that's okay, darks....we all get side-tracked...I was earlier, remember? I was on to Able Danger...quite interesting listening to Lt. Col. Shafer....very interesting, in fact. He spoke for most of one hour on Savage.
The tunnels.
Those were fun to brainstorm.
"WHO shall we contract to dig THOSE?"
*bad idea alert*
Was supposed to be.
But.. my typo skill got me.
Well, I was hooking up a battery backup t chareg so I can replace this dog of a battery backup I already have.
So, instead of having three minutes to dump the machine, I'll have 8.
(Claims I'll have 15 or so, but the book is always overly optimistic.)
darks.....you have me totally confused.....what the heck are you saying? Why do you need to recharge a battery....and what are three minutes about....and what machine....and what is the 8 vs. 15?
I think I'm Alice.
I have an idea.
If you still want to use the old battery backup, but don't know where, hook it up to a lamp with a compact fluorescent bulb in it. Theoretically, it should last through a power interruption, unless the inverter steals all the juice.
Hi nicmarlo. Sorry I ran off so quickly. I've been kinda busy here. And now I think I'm going to have to log off again to move my laptop to where I can plug it in. (I have a couple of minutes before the battery will be drained.)
I'll be back ASAP.
