The Away Thread


  • The Halfling Defence League

    It's that time of year again for me. I'll be at my family's cabin from August 5 to August 13, with no access to the Internet and very little to the outside world. I will still be on my phone and on the forums, but cell coverage out there is spotty and unreliable on the best days.

    In addition, I've got things going on during August's other weekends as well. So I won't be around much for the whole month, though week nights I'll still be popping in.



  • After a brief lookin, I'm off again Friday on family vacation to the mountains. There's a rumor that we might have WiFi this year. I haven't been able to connect to the Internet from my mountain vacation unit for the past several years. No telling how fast it will be or if Narfell can be run, but I will have my computer with me so I might check in. Otherwise, I'll be back on July 28th.

  • It's vacation time, and my family demands my attendance for (gasp) fun and sun! I'll be checking the forums every so often, but I'm unlikely to manage that sweet IG thing until the weekend approaches. Keep Narfell warm 'til then!



  • I'm leaving Sunday morning (9 July) for my annual trip to the Berkshire Choral Festival in Massachusetts. I will have no Internet access until I return late on July 16. Don't let the vampires, demons, or the Night Parade take over while I'm gone.

    Will be away today, tomorrow, and most of Sunday due to a trip to my cabin. Play nice while I'm gone!

    I must make a quick trip to Ohio for a family funeral. I'll be back late Tuesday (27/6). You'll probably see me online Wednesday evening after the grandson leaves.

    Condolences. Have a safe trip.



  • Sorry for your family's loss. Travel safe!

    Surgery's done. They had to remove a mass which was (thankfully) benign. She's recovering now, should be released Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. Gonna be spending the next few days after work with her, as well as the whole weekend. Sorry if any events were planned that Ros or Rhona would need to be at!

    Thanks everyone for your concern/thoughts/prayers. They're really appreciated!

    Hear hear, I wish you guys a speedy recovery! 🙂



  • Hoping for fast healing 🙂

    Mom is having surgery today. Depending on how things go, I may or may not see a significant reduction in availability for the next week or two.

    Seriously hoping for the best for you guys! Keep us informed as you can. 🙂

    My desktop is currently fried (new components due May 10th) and my laptop is running NWN at about 1 frame per minute at the moment (it's an i3 processor, so I'm not sure what the deal is…). I should be back the weekend of May 13th if not before.

    The new desktop is fully operational.

    graphics drivers update, perhaps?

    Laptop has a generic intel graphics card and I'm fairly certain that a forced windows update (despite my settings to the contrary) was what broke everything.

    Preemptively posting that I'll be gone at my family's cabin the last weekend in May, with no internet/running water/electricity and all that.
