Playing Ultima 1 and thoroughly enjoying it. I wish there were more RPGs that focused primarily on powering up your character rather than annoying things like story or navigating towns.
At least you're not on dial-up. 768k is over 13 times peak dial-up speed.

Also, if you need to run a public-facing server, there's also Virtual Private Servers you can rent that should provide good bandwidth.

Yeah, I was doing the math a while back. Almost smack in the middle of what I have now versus the 56k I was thrilled to get so many years ago: 15x and another 15x.

Web hosting not a big deal - that's taken care of. I actually don't think it'll be a problem, per se, for the business, just that it will take a bit longer to do some things. For the personal stuff, that will hurt a bit. Guess we can still stream music decently, though.

Screw it - just makes for one more reason to spend more time outside. Like I said, lifestyle change is a-comin'

I am happy. Today is the day that is going to dictate the future of this farce, called European Union. Even though the secret agencies created an entire conspiracy with the murder of that poor woman, Ms. Cox and despite countless articles on it from every country inside europe, it is still an equal gamble, IN or OUT! Nothing is certain! Will they escape the prison and others follow in their footsteps? Will they remain trapped inside and their people get polarized and in dispute? Will they remain and things FOR EVERYBODY worsen, to the point of peaceful political solutions like voting will become useless, obsolete and irrelevant, in order to restore order and prosperity? Either way, strife, conflict and possibly bigger fish, are swarming all around. I can't wait for events to play out all by themselves, history be written and earth shattering events to proceed into materializing! It is almost 90% certain that Bremain rules supreme, but this type of victory, Pyrrhic victory in all actuality, is going to be short lived and with great cost, even consequences...

I just hope one certain girl i knew once that lives in London to be unscathed and outside of any harm's way. For everyone else, including me, for all hell to break loose!

I made a fantastic experiment and guess what? It worked! It totally worked just like I predicted! Whoa, that's something new! Usually it doesn't go this way... :D

Explosion imminent in 3...2...1....

Nah, nothing explosive around. Just a good old solid state physics with some ionization properties :)

IMplosion imminent in 3...2...1...

Weren't those released in mangafox???

nope not a single site on the web has this series in english, So I had to get the first 9 in english and the last 2 from japan to complete it, And the fact I love to own the real thing when it comes to books.

Actually I see it as an explosion of various possibilities ;) So I'll have a few weeks of intense experiments but then, sadly, I'll have to do the paperwork like patent and publication. But oh well, the first part in the lab will be great so I'm still very happy :D

Butthole sucking imminent in 3...2...1...

black raspberries! nomnomnomnomnomnom

local? I've never heard of them.

wow, interesting! I don't know if it's a regional thing, I suppose it could be. They're scrumptious! We've got them along one treeline on the property and then red raspberries along the other property line. They ripen about 2 weeks before the reds, and are bright red unripe and then dark purple/blue/black when ripe. They have a slightly different flavor, than reds of course I have no idea how to describe the difference. *throws some to you to try*

You've never seen black-raspberry flavored drinks or things like that?
