The first time I got that message I didn't even know it was from auto-logout. I nearly panicked xD

1. [esc] when text area is focused when text being sent makes it return
2. [ctrl]+[z] when text field is focused after something went wrong error should make text return
3. you can disable js in your browser to not use ajax
4. you can disable "events autorefresh" or sth in account settings to not use ajax
5. I am happy with performance improvement it gave us, although it was not globally significant enough to make me really happy
6. I can change cleanup script to not log off recently active players.
7. I'm not reading most of threads, so it's usually better to post in general support if you want your problem solved. Usually it's easy to do, but first I must know what's wrong.

Okay, so I have had some serious back pains since lifting a 50 kilo (metric kilogram) beer keg the day before new years eve. :)

(Yeah I know, if the head is stupid, it's the body that suffers)

Today I wen't back to the chiropractor, since I still have pains now and then, and after today's session my back -really- hurts again. Why didn't I just stick to pain-killers (& alcohol)?

This would be great. I've noticed many times that it logs me out exactly 16 past 4 pm even if I had just logged in recently, and that's annoying.

I crossed my fingers today during that awfully long extended percussion rehearsals.

C&P'd from my Tumblr:

Is it too much to ask for even a seminormal sleep schedule? -___-
Normal weeks: every other day go to bed at 10 and wake up next morning at 6, every other day go to bed at 11 and wake up next morning at 9. What was formerly my free time is taken up by band commitments and volunteer work.
This week: change wake up at 9 to wake up at 10 until...
Teachers and broken car/paranoid mother: "Nope! You're going to get up at 5 these extra mornings."
Next week: "Hey, remember me? It's Daylight Savings Time! Now you have to basically get up at 4!!! Because keeping the clocks the same all year 'round is wakkie nu nu! Yaayyyyy!!!!!"

Today was the third day in a row I've had to get up this week because my windshield was cracked yesterday and I had to go in with my mom while the glass company fixed it while I was at school; I wasn't supposed to go in until 10. I got a normal number hours of sleep last night for having to get up early again today, and I found myself having trouble staying awake during Spanish class. The extended percussion rehearsal only made it worse and also made it so the rest of my wakeful time tonight had no chance of real productivity.

Doing everything one thing at a time until everything is done would mean that I get no sleep. I can't function this way, and I refuse to drink coffee. I don't know how I'm going to survive college.

Brain: fried.
Work: unfinished
Status: idek I'm going to bed

Note to self:
When posting on the forum about a random out-of-the-blue hiatus, it's probably a good idea to end it right there, especially when a character's life is on the line.

I am so sick. My lymph nodes are swollen. I can't equalize the pressure in my ears. I have a dry cough. If I breathe through my nose (when I can), it gives me a sore throat.

I am so behind at work. I recently expanded my Second Life activity to beyond creating Cantr avatars and literally spent days last week out "clubbing." ("She" made me do it, I swear.) I think I'm an addict now. I never "got" SL before. Now I do.

So, between my personal misery, and my self-inflicted deluge of back work, you won't see me around here much or in the game for a while. Sorry about that.

I think a friend of mine has, but it was a while ago, and I don't remember much about it. I can inquire if you want.

Rant time:
When your work updates it's firewalls to block almost all "games", wikis, and most forums (but not this one apparently?), ...
...and tax season so the accountant-spouse has all-access rights to the computer at home for the next month.

"farm food" projects for all, repeat x20, for now! :|
