Oolite Bulletins

I tend to play most days as I find it a good wind down from a stressy day at work. I also enjoy "doing a couple of planets" while I'm waiting for the dinner to cook in the evenings.
Tonight I'm have an extra hour or so as we're watching the tv

I took a sabbatical after Easter to concentrate on qualifying as a teacher. I'm done now so have been getting back into playing (and may even write another Commander Hammond story since the first three were so well received).

Lately, I'd have to just say "not often enough"..

But I've just done an OS reinstall on my main Oolite machine, as part of which I finally sorted out the mobo clock and bus settings properly, so as to get the maximum horsepower out of this old Athlon chip. CPU speed has now increased from 1.0 GHz to 1.8 GHz, so I'm looking forward to seeing the difference in performance in Oolite. Especially for witch-jumps, which have always been seriously laggy..

Not for a while, PC died and lost all my stuff. Then family issues took over a for a while but now im back and looking to reinstall and apparently there is a 64b version now?

Far too long ago.

All those pretty ships and shaders!
even forgot how to vote on polls.

This poll closed after a week. Nice to see you back though, seen you on the ED forum too.

haha, i see.
Just added you to my friends list there.

Sorry about being absentee here for so long.
My only excuse is finding a fulltime job and being otherwise very distracted by 'stuff'.

Nice to see you back, A_H! We missed you.

I hope that things have settled now for you and you'll be able to stick around.

Ha good to be back. This side of Riedquat is so much nicer!

I'm not really planning on playing much, actually I am planning on changing living location again...and I hadn't yet updated my new coordinates. hehe
Will probably be forced to do some playing anyhow if only for testing purposes.

Going to try to fulfill some of those ambitious projects I started in the waybackwhen.
Looking forward to some nice puzzling.

Also: E4:Dangerous I'm curious how that will turn out.

Yep, that sounds like my experience of the game for the last year or two but it is fun tinkering with stuff There's a whole UniOoniverse at my fingertips

I like this place, even the new guys welcome the veterans back
I was looking at the forum to another game the other day and it seemed the order of the day was to fling poo at each other.

Oh and welcome back

Hi A_H! Good to see you're still kicking!

Alles goed man?

You're going to resurrect the Tionisla Graveyard?


/throws some poo, just to make sure/

Welcome home, Arexack_Heretic!

You belong to a forum for that? Gosh, I'm impressed by your maturity and frankness. Mind you, once we guys get past a certain age I guess we just have to accept the inevitable, and it can't hurt to talk about it. After all, I'm not quite the firebrand I was thirty years ago...

There aren't any women on these boards are there? You know, before I start swapping stories and all that.
