Oolite Bulletins

I had something weird happen when I tried enabling the spoken messages on trunk (looks like r6380). Half of the game options disappeared and then I wasn't able to save when I docked.

Here's a log:

Greetings all! Just upgraded trunk tonight to version 1.81, and after the usual couple hiccups, it appears I'm good to go - which is awesome, because I haven't done any Ooliting in an embarrassingly long time. I have to say I'm very impressed with the changes that I've seen so far. I really dig the ...

I hate daylight savings time. It always messes up my clockworks.

Not senile yet, mate. I can still shave my ear and nose hair without cutting myself.

Lol - that's something you can add to your resume!

Sounds better than Celestia. Celestia is also abandoned, at least the last time I checked in on the project site.

This looks like a mess. I don't think I'd touch it either.

....Does every Feudal system have a hunting lodge or just some? I can't seem to find one in every feudal system.

...or just get a bar stool :) Thats the idea. Well, actually, its going to be placed on/built into the coffee table, so its just the right height for sitting on the sofa (couch for my American friends) Sounds like you're one step ahead of us :) - (LOL about the 'sofa' - actually, it's the 'settee' ...

That would be too easy - of course, it wouldn't be good for setting the mood .

Woooo... Would love to see a more fleshed-out version of this, one day.. Yeah, I need to fix the rest of the typos and flesh it out. There's some relevant stuff to add to it - I just don't want to turn it into a novel - a short story is much better. Thanks for reading it - it's an odd story to say ...

Only possible downside I can see is that you might be on your feet for a looooong time if you get into a good session..

That sounds like a recipe for making the wife mad .

Thing is, I have a spare KADE to hand, along with a broken laptop (the hinge went) so all I need to do, is wire up the controls and make a case for the whole thing

Shit, I'm impressed if you have the skills to do that... not sure I'd be confident doing something that intense.
