Oolite Bulletins

Wood can warm you three times. When cutting trees and bringing them home. When chopping and stapling. And when burning. A sufficiently sized PC can heat the room too. ;-) Most of us here exploit every available heat source. My blingy PC does a good job on that score :D And when you obsessively stac...

Well? Are you still inexperienced? Did you work out how to turn off your new set of silicon chips? How is life up there in far-flung frigid northern ice-lands? Did you survive the summer? Greetings everyone. Experience didn't come to me as easily and smoothly as hoped. It feels like there will alwa...

Seasonal greetings and a happy, peaceful new year to all!

I alternate, but never two-fisting. Maybe a little more white than red.

Vacation? They allow you out for a vacation? We thought that they kept you chained to the desk at Murgh Shipyards after Zora Badú unearthed you! Murgh's on the loose? Lock up your daughters! Murgh the indefatigable constructor is still at his desk, hard at work. Murgh the prolific ladies' man is st...

?? No news is good news? My chassis was delayed before I left for vacation (twice expected date pushed back – very annoying). If that's still status when I return I'll just go ahead and cancel and pick another instantly available one. I've waited enough. Still no urgent need to send over Cody with ...
