Hi All,One would think that the GM of a game subtitled: Old Dogs, New Tricks, would have learned something by now.One would be wrong.
On a weekend where the deadline has already been pushed and promises of quick turnover made, but more importantly, when US taxes need completing and filing, your ever-brilliant GM decided to upgrade his laptop. Nothing extreme, just a new hard drive --- a shiny quiet SSD! Ooooohhhhhh! Clone existing drive, remove, plug in SSD, go!
Yeah, that would have been nice.As my wife said, upon returning home to discover a bed full of screws and parts, "Simple? It's never simple! That's why EVERY time you try to fix something on the computer, it turns into a 3 day project and a handful of gizmos you're not sure where they came from." She's not very technical, but she is observant. And just to clarify, she specified "on the computer", but really that applies to anything more advanced than a bicycle.
So, I finally got the OLD hard drive to work again (yeah, Windows even stopped recognizing that one! Lovely!) and processed the moves and finished my taxes before resuming my quest to get the damn new SSD installed. No reason the rest of you should suffer for my bare competence.
Deadline for Spring 06 moves will be Thursday 4/19. I will be on vacation (with my laptop, but not constantly monitoring) from 4/20 -> 4/24, enjoying family time at Disneyworld. I will process retreats on Friday, and then Fall moves won't be due until the following Friday.
If Thursday is too quick, let me know and we'll push the deadline to next week.
