Kuuki Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 Well, that would be a problem. Microsoft and Apple never really get along. that comment must've been the one that made steve jobs quit
edlib Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Gotta spend the day tomorrow battening down the hatches, and preparing for a trip to Florida to see my dad... which I'm supposedly leaving for right after this hurricane leaves town. I guess I never suspected that the travel delay from a tropical weather system on a flight from Boston to Palm Beach would be at the Northern end...
Keyan Farlander Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I just don't want to lose power, even though I know it's pretty much inevitable.
K_Kinnison Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 east coast is full of whiners. only reason it is big is because New Yorkers think everything only happens to them because of all the media based in NY People in Florida are all "meh"

Do me and Cracken have to 'represent' in proper?? D:< No one knows what "winter" is unless someone spends a few "winters" in western NY [edit]where's my hot topic badge [/edit]
K_Kinnison Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 No one knows what "winter" is unless someone spends a few "winters" in western NY pfffffft. In wisconsin, we wake up with 12 foot drifts at the end of the driveway and we are expected to shovel it all out and still go to work, on time, without chains on our tires #wisconsinishardcore
edlib Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Whatever... My Monday flight was cancelled and re-booked to Wednesday instead. The storm isn't much to report where I am, thankfully.

K_Kinnison Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 My cat has become badass baby bunny butcher. He has caught a total of 9 baby bunnies. Now he is leaving the headless corpses out. Obviously this is a warning
Keyan Farlander Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 My power has been off for 36 hours. I've never been so happy to be at work
edlib Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 My power has been out since 1:30 yesterday. A big tree fell over on the wires at the end of my street. Only one street over they never lost power at all. Frustrating. I packed my fridge and freezer with bags of ice. Hopefully I don't have to throw everything away. If by 4 this afternoon they don't have it back up and running, I'm going to pack up the most perishable items and bring them over my GF's place, where she never lost power yesterday. That's really about the only problem I've encountered. Part of the lattice on my front porch peeled away a bit... but I should be able to nail that down easy enough.
Keyan Farlander Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Power is back on. I sang a Journey song to celebrate.
Keyan Farlander Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Bought Street Fighter 3 from the XBLA last night. Love that game!
Cmdr. Cracken Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Started streaming my starcraft II practice sessions again. Put a highlight up on youtube.com/crackensan for people that don't want to watch the 2 hour V.o.D.
Wildstar Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Ed, it was bad enough in Brockton that I was without power for 50.5 hours. Very glad to be back online again, though.
edlib Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Power is back on. I sang a Journey song to celebrate. Any Way You Want It! Don't Stop Believin'! I got word yesterday that it could be up to two weeks before the lights are back on in my neighborhood. Which is doubly frustrating because EVERY street around mine already has power! Had to empty both my refrigerators and freezers. What was savable came over to my girlfriend's place. She has a freezer in her cellar we fired up yesterday and loaded with a bunch of my stuff. And I filled her fridge too. I had to throw a bunch of stuff that she didn't have room for away though. (Mostly condiments and leftovers and the like...) Not. Happy. I leave for Florida tomorrow. Not much else I can do... Hopefully things will be back to normal when I return... Or getting ready for work when I get back will be a challenge. Fortunately, J. lives a couple of blocks from me. I can always stay here and wash up. Mom is insisting at staying put in my place and roughing it though... I don't know why... but if that's what she wants to do, so be it.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Streaming live right now. http://www.twitch.tv/crackensan. I have a mic now, and can talk to people!

Your momma is a tough lady. y' mama is so tough, when carpenters buy a box of nails, they say, "Hand me some of those mamas." y' mama is so tough, she can gargle peanut butter
Keyan Farlander Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Hm, so now they're saying the Higgs boson probably doesn't exist after all. Take that, physics.

I heard Lucas added another Darth Vader "Nooooo!!!!" to RotJ in that.
