test, test

[ygmir]

I posted the test, then it blocked me, again. It's a fickle bitch. (assuming this posts makes it).

I tried posting too, only to see I'm blacklisted. This note will probably not be posted...

[mgb327]

Blackisted, or not anymore...this is a test.

[Elorrum]

I see Patsh, ygmir, MGB. “Test” is how we say hi anymore. When they say “IT is on it”, do they mean they mean are monitoring how it runs down to nothing?

Rock that turkey. Happy Thanksgiving or as we say nowadays: “test”

[Elorrum]

I’m filling the biggest thermos, who knows how long it will stay hot. When DVD Burner stops posting it makes me wonder who isn’t locked out. Could be the holiday.

I have a turkey to cook still, maybe tomorrow. It’s still frozen, but in the refrigerator. Not up for any heroic defrosting measures.

Peace.

[Patsh]

Another 'test', this being the sixth, just to see if I'm still blacklisted.
The other five were yesterday.

Now, to try again, like yesterday, to be immediately blacklisted again...
or not...

The frustration is across the board. I've been blacklisted myself. It almost appears that whoever put this new software on, isn't checking to see what the effect is. The mystery IT person is definitely aware that this is not working.

Not aware... Is it anybody, really? Is there an end run complaint option? The doing it wrong email?

Ill make coffee, but there aren't enough of us here to even have much of a card game.

[Elorrum]

what to make of a diminished thing?

*sigh*I wish people still read things to find answers for their questions. This forum is a goldmine of useful actionable engaging ideas and information. I’m tired of getting scolded like an underling for not supplying a shopping list and pricing to people who want to know if their battery pack and solar panel kit will run an ac in their shiftpod. I used to enjoy helping, now I am hesitant to face these bosses. I suggested ohms law, pen paper and calculator, and was told I was just being condescending and medicating my ego by not giving a useful answer, (like which theme camp can take care of that problem.) What happened? These are burners? *stokes fire* I’d prefer a new chapter.

I’m cooking a turkey today. There will be soup and meat for a few weeks. I may help a friend today fashion an antenna for free tv.

“Test”

Yes it still is.

*test*
*rides in on War Rabbitt™*
in case I do get through and in case it's a one time thing, I've modified the ECM to Elorrums Never Ending Coffee Machine (ENECM).
*starts ENECM, fills double bowls of cheess doodles for Da Mule, places a bucket of whiskey in the rafters, starts OMWs on never ending loop play*
we'll see if it worked.
*heads for ROS*

[ygmir]

perfect.. thanks!

[mgb327]

Test....

[Elorrum]

Looking better. I’m understanding that It isn’t that people (not to be grouped as the “powers that be”) don’t care. It’s that there is a hole in the world, there is a hole in experience, in staffing, and familiarity, and it’s a frigging holiday. Not much to be done about any of that. I can be more patient. Good thing we have a coffee maker that can run unattended for a while. Thanks ygmir.

MGB, good to see you also!

[kvon]

Greetings and hallo to everyones!
I am having rare opportunity to post, from wilds of Morrocco, I was been trying to post for some days ago, to share developments of the still electricity project we had began on playa and with helping from so many here.
I will see if a post now can come here, so will save so much texting thumbs to making sure it works.
If so I can post if anyone wonders what we have been happening, since the jail time in Portugal and all we endured when leaders and us engineers were dropped upon.
I can posting when again I am having interwebz connection, but not sure when.
All best to my eplaya friends.

[Elorrum]

kvon! A holiday miracle, so nice to hear from you after a long absence. The Portugal adventure is a tale I’d love to hear about, if I haven’t already. Jail? You say? Future theory Electrical generation is becoming more and more a playa issue, your expertise may be called back?

[ygmir]

*wanders in*
Hi gang! wow, Kvon!! Greetings Mr. Von Hesse!! been a long time since you and your crew came to the playa with your idea and attempts! The days of Ein Hammer and Mr. Jellyfish!!! good times!

It seems Trilo, worked his magic? I still get the "checking security" white page, but, seems I'm unblocked! at least as of now.
Hats off and kneels with respect to Trilo!!!

[gaminwench]

Yay! I'm no longer blacklisted! (I've never been blacklisted before ...)
Happy holidays, eplaya; Bushmill's on me!

[some seeing eye]

I'm enjoying the view and contemplating all the sweeping and trimming I need to do.

Thanks Trillo for fixing the machine. Maybe we should have a seance with Senator Stevens on phpBB?

[Elorrum]

*sets out snack plate*.

Thanks Trilo, yes. gaminwench, some seeing eye, good you are unblacklisted. That’s a pretty punitive sounding term, a secret prohibition, not publicly acknowledged. Didn’t it just used to be called “blocked?”

[Patsh]

Testing again.
This time, it took over 18 minutes to get in, though I didn't have to prove I'm human 45 times. I guess they've lowered their standards.
So, now to see if I'm blacklisted again...

edit to add: Yay! it worked!!

bellybutton shots?

Hi Patsh! glad you made it back! yeah, crazy tech stuff. ugh.
Elorrum: yeah, "blacklisted".......when really, I'd see it termed "double secret probation", ala: Delta house.

Leaves are falling fast here, finally. And snow is predicted in the next few days. Its a bad combo if it's much snow, with tress still having about half the leaves, they really catch a lot more snow, therefore weight. With as dry as they are, stuff is bound to break and or fall over. getting my generators checked out is a thing today.

[burner von braun]

Evidently this is not a test


Glad to see things are beginning to work again here on eplaya, and see friends shaking off the dust from the latest whiteout. Thanks to those brainiacs who did the repairs.

*takes swig of Bushmills*

Thanks GW

Familiar faces, and a blast from the past as well. I somehow hadn't equated kvon with the Ein Hammer/Jellyfish crew, but that was right about the time I first showed up, and everything was a blur. I still remember being amazed by Ein Hammer my first year (2010) and the realization dawning on me regarding the time and effort that people put into TTITD. Quite the inspiration!

I hope the weather there cooperates yg. I read recently where it was reported that a meteorite landed somewhere out your way. Was that ever confirmed? Sounds like it may be time for the bespectacled gent from Farmers Insurance to either "put up or shut up", eh?

*slides Bushmills bottle on down bar*

[ygmir]

*wanders in*
HI BVB!!
yeah, I think the thread name was "Power to the Playa... from Germany" or some such? Kvon and crew I believe contacted Jellyfish and started posting here on their thread, then spun off their own thread?
following along with the progress and setbacks was fun.

yeah, people saw it fall and when they got there the house was on fire and messed up on one end. The resident said he heard a bang and the house was burning. There are no report of finding a meteor, but, local advise was if they do find it, don't tell anyone and put it up for sale to private collectors. So yeah, no confirmation other than eye witnesses and a short video of a witness arriving on scene.
