  • Test, plus vacation thoughts

    From Adept@21:2/108 to Stormtrooper on Sun Sep 24 18:18:14 2023
    Hi all. Sending this to StormTrooper, as StormTrooper sent me a message stating that his attempts at posting to FSXnet General results in it not
    knowing any entered name, and then canceling the message.

    So I'm trying to replicate the bug. I'm kind of thinking it might be more server bug than a BBS bug.
    So, for everyone else, assuming this goes through, I'll mention thoughts on the first day of my vacation, where I've gone to someplace a few kilometers away from the ocean.

    And it's been interesting. Mostly because, when it's windy and not super warm, suddenly my summer clothing is not actually a good idea, and it seems as though I perhaps did not pack the correct clothing for this journey.

    And I'm seeing that Avon is managing to steal away more of the daylight. I guess the thefts will continue for a while. Though at least that means it'll be time for lighting season, which is fun with the Christmas markets.

    I'm looking forward to lighting season, as I have lots of lights for my
    house this year and have permanent hooks painted to blend in along my
    roofline.

    We re-did our storage space, lowering the floor a good foot or so,
    giving me 6'3" of height (and I'm 6'2"). Before, I'd need to crouch into
    a drafty space to reach the decorations. Now it's a full walk-in space
    sealed and finished.



    ... Where are we now?

    Nice! I really just have a room, so I'm limited in the ways I can decorate. Though I'll probably look for the light-up-blocks thing again this year, and building something new.

    ...that didn't make much sense. But imagine legos that light up when you plug them into other legos. But different brand. Stax. The blocks are compatible with lego, though, so possible to attach non-lit blocks to these, too.

    Anyway, last year I bought a Christmas tree, where it was an Advent calendar. So you didn't get the full Christmas tree until Christmas Eve, but got a new piece to add on each day. And I found that to be fun.

    But those are the sorts of things I've tended to have, over the last couple of years.

    We re-did our storage space, lowering the floor a good foot or so,

    That sounds _so_ much better. Takes so much more energy to walk and crouch while trying to grab things. Though, with only an inch of clearance, I imagine you'll still find ways to bump things.

    But _so_ much better than when you had -11 inches of clearance.

    (Oh, and on the test I did, I guess it worked, and I think my user just had the wrong menu option. So fingers crossed that there is no problem, and perhaps I'll re-arrange menu options if that's a better solution.)
