Oh and I forgot to mention in response to your other point - no, my boys didn't get scared. They were asleep most of the (and we were travelling for about nine hours lol), the lazy gits .

Still having nasty problems with my computer and internet. I'm not dead! If anyone has a spare USB modem and drivers, please send it to me hehe.

Blimey. Can.... can it really be you? *Tears* Oh, my boy, you've come back to us! *Blub, blub*

I have a sort of 1 in 100 chance of getting online. Can stay on for more than 5 mins if I disable all graphics, anims, etc etc. Going for a wonder down to the shop and enquire about USB hubs tomorrow. The format of the HD has removed some of the odd quirks I was getting!

Er, I also destroyed the mouse with a well placed punch which didn't help!

Lol, I didn't think it could still be comp stuff! Thoguh you were having lashings of fresh air or summat!

Your absense was *sniff* noticed *tear aswell*

sniff, I shed some slime... quite approriate as I have another cold. I have the constitution of a near dead screamer.

I could go for the wireless route. Anybody have a rough idea of the costs?

Cost me 45 quid for my network card and...umm...something double that for my router/modem, I think

BTW, I take it my avatar is still the frosty snail?! I can't actually see it (see above) or change it (see above) so if some kind soul could take pity and change me into my spring suit...

Oh did I mention I live practically next door to the Arctic Monkeys?! They drink in my local!

Is that a band or a real group of monkies?

Yeah, will try to change your avatar...at some point... *Wahhahahaah*

Ha, what have I said?!!!! Did not think about that! Oh dear.

Its a band that seem to be doing well with some basic but catchy tunes IMHO. Bunch of students really.

Jolly good

And bloody hell, first you are back, and now Sera is saying hey in the custom dungeon forums *tears* Welcome back peoples!

Its my magnetic shell! Does look like it has been somewhat quiet lately judging by the posts. Rest assured I'll be up to speed soon when I drive Chaos out of my computer. Plenty of fuses inside the thing.

Lol, four chatty regulars around...yet are any flashchat for adamo to talk to? I imagine not...since I still haven't receoved lack of weekend sleep and should go to bed and Paul will die soon!

I might change into a frog as I croak that often.

Lack of sleep is not good Mr Beo! I got into flashchat for about 5 mins then it went a bit wonky. Anything that makes the computer use resources more than a wristwatch does sends it spiralling into oblivion.

Does anybody know how much snot it is humanly possible to produce? I think I must have a teleporter to another world lodged in my nasal cavity. Its going to have to be the old 'sleep with a kleenex up each nostril trick' or I'll drown in my sleep!

I hate colds.

Does anybody know how much snot it is humanly possible to produce?

Hang on.....

*Snort* *Snrgle-fnick* *Kablooie* *Phwrph-fnick*

6.5 gallons per minute.

LOL, that's not something you want to see late at night!

I'm talking about the evil eye, though the snot is a damn close second

That sounds about right! Interestingly that is equal to my beer consumption on a Friday night. Must be a link..

muaha, you have to keep it on for the rest of the year paul :P

Dear me, the spam's getting worse...

Just need to spend time figuring out who 72.36.244.* and 72.36.203* are and that owuld be one constant spammer gone for a start

WB Paul !!!!!!!!!!
I don`t know what`s with your machine (my weak english and computer stuff-ignorance are responsible), but that would be a disaster if you loose your work on your custom dungeon by a computer/HD crash/burn!!!!!!! you better save all your work on some gold-made CD or something.....

I burned mine work for any case, cause my machine is I think from early 60`s and behaves strange sometimes...

If it's only little files (ie not .bmps and music files and stuff), you can just e-mail 'em to yourself and leave 'em in your inbox for re-uploading if your computer fooks .

o.o, whats wrong with the eye beo? its like mine, only thats not my face surrounding it, on, and mines a sapphire blue color.

If you're meaning Gambit's eye, I think it looks pretty cool. I've been wondering if it's something drawn by him or someone he knows, or if it's from a dragon (or similar) on a book cover or something, and if so, which book/picture...

look there... I did a search and found them to be running illegal perl scripts.

at least we're not alone


which also begs the question.. how do they block them? since they also use PHPBB..

For all newbies, THAT's where a quote can come in handy : )

It wouldn't kill all the spam we get, but it would take out a nice percentage

I said:

we could give a posts about our flashchat presence - for example: "today I`m waiting on the flaschat till 01:00" or "I`ll be there for 30 minutes [from a message time of course]". If someone is interested in talk, he could then pop in to the flashchat with certainty that it`s not empty.

ok, so I`m first, let`s see if it works: I`m waiting on flash till 21

Sorry to keep babbling on about my cursed computer, but yet again I seek a little advice from you knowledgable peoples!

I am almost certain my disconnection problems are due to my modem drawing more than the nominal 500mA current from the USB port causing it to crash. A fairly common problem with this modem it seems. So a powered hub is the way forward I think. What does this look like and how do I fit it? Do I just plug the new device into an existing USB port, and then the modem? Or is it an internal fix?
