Thought or Rant of the day!!!

Personally I prefer food utensils. Wooden forks are brilliant, but a big stone pot gets the message through as well.

One of my chars gets hit by a stone pot often by his wife.

Stone pot....
I am never going to be able to look at one of those again without busting a gut.

That reminds me...

Although.... One of mine absolutely hates being hit by a wooden spoon... And will somehow find a way to carry out her threat of what she'd do with the spoon if she got hit again.

One of mine was constantly hit with a stick, amusing

RotD: Stupid PHP needing silly things like semi-colons after each line.
I mean, a : looks almost the same, should still work. amirite?!?!?!

PS: any PHP gurus want to PM me to brainstorm a question I had?
trying to write a little function that scrambles a text string into words, but each word is changed, bot not quite randomly.
Anyone playing FTO, essentially, change text to baby-speak, sorta, but keep the actual number of words&letters the same, but jumble each word semi-randomly.
Anyone playing World of Warcraft, pretty much exactly like the Horde<->Alliance chat translation works.

[SekoETC]

What do you mean by semi-random? Would each letter turn into a random letter or would the same letter always turn into a certain other letter either within a word or within a line of text? In Order of the Stick, for a while Haley's speech was scrambled so that each letter was consistently replaced by another letter but the table of replacements changed in each episode so that people had to figure it out separately. I read that in WoW they intentionally filter lol to kek because hahaha is kekeke in Korean or something. I assume you are looking for a scrambler to make different species or language groups unable to understand each other, rather than for creating baby talk. It bugs me about FTO that if you write a long bit of text, the babbling will come out just as long even though a real baby wouldn't say things like baba gaga waaah mama gaa, but rather they would like to use variations of a theme like abababa... ammammamm... and there would be pauses.

As for hitting someone with a stone pot, I remember the fun of figuring out that was possible. It probably happened way back in the 800's or so.

I F****ing hate people who are so god damn gullible and easy to persuade. They do nothing but cause trouble.

That reminds me of a colleague who was into Ruby on Rails at the time (where you don't use semi-colons), and he was supposed to do an quick online fix in PHP and forgot the semi-colon, and uploaded it without testing. Our site (with some 100,000 current players) white-screened and people lost sessions and ... well it was kinda bad...

I'm finding it harder and harder to play lately. It's so quiet for the most and it almost seems that a part of my chars are the only ones who talk to others and try to make plans. And it's getting harder and harder to keep that up.

[SekoETC]

*sigh* I don't get that feeling with all my characters but it sucks to have even a couple lose their will to live. I keep going because others would win if they died but there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe it's the fact that I have eaten nothing but carbs in the recent hours but I feel upset. Cantr is so uneventful, I hate Sundays, it's always like this on Sundays and then it picks up when I'm supposed to be at school. I guess I could go to bed early and maybe people will be around after 5am my time. I could also do laundry. I should at least wash my apron for school. I feel kinda nauseous from all the carbs and nothing to balance it.

[Snickie]

Aww! That's sad.

What's even sadder is that school for me starts tomorrow, and I'm in the marching band, so Sundays may become my only day in the week where I can get a halfway decent amount of time in on Cantr.

[SekoETC]

Ouch, that's probably going to suck about Cantr, although I think marching bands are cool so it's probably worth the time.

[Arenti]

I hope there will be more players soon.

[Kelli]

Arenti, I know exactly what you mean......TOTALLY.
And yes...Sundays on cantr suck! They are soooo slow! They are the worst day by far!

I've been teaching during the week days, but I try to get on with my charries as much as possible. Mainly because mine are the most active wherever they are. There is only one of my charries who is not the most active...(thank you Arenti!)

It's hard to be the only one to keep things running. Arenti, the charrie that I recently "discovered" to be yours....well my charrie that knows that one...there's a reason she left where she left.

I've been hoping we can get more players. The best way to do that though, is for us as players to talk people into joining the game. I've been seriously thinking about hanging around chat rooms to get others to play, and I really don't like chatting all that much.....

But you gotta figure.....maybe for every ten people that say they are interested, one will keep playing the game?

I actually have about 5 charries that I would like to see dead, Seko. The only reason I keep them alive is so that maybe others will become more active and the game will keep what liveliness it -does- have...
