Yes, it is.

But, a laptop and WLAN mean that won't be rid of me

There's a paragon dragon by the mountain North West of the Valor champ spawn with 9000+hp! I'm not tackling that!

i'll let you know when he gets there - he'll be 5yrs next week, so a little while yet i think.

my only serious worry is - what happens if i nip off to the loo or to make some coffee or something? he's in gaelic medium, so although he speaks english, he only recognises words in gaelic. if a gm comes along, i'm probably gonna get suspended for unattended macroing!

 

[Barian]

Tell him to respond in Gaelic to any questions..........

Morning Wishy..................

 

[Guest]

lo all

well, I am now officially an 'articulated granny'. We bought a shopping trolly to carry the shopping home in.

 

[Barian]

Motorised?

 

[Guest]

nah, only granny powered.

 

[Guest]

You just have to remember to take it with you.

That can be faintly amusing, but an awful lot of hard work.


When I got paged-on for having an "offensive" name for my thief, I told the GM what the name meant, but he wouldn't believe me. I had to find an online translation service, and direct him there, to convince him otherwise.

 

[Guest]

Options &gt; macro &gt; say - 'hello, can I help you?'

(or something else appropriate)

Tie to handy hot key


Instruct son, if anyone comes, press that key and shout for mommy.

i'm not sure they'd have a problem with gaelic, as one of the devs clearly knows his/her celtic myths. cu sidhe (pronunciation, in gaelic, would be, i think cooshid or cooshi) cu is gaelic for dog, the word sidhe is used to refer to 'the old ones' or the faeries. they don't seem to have a problem with the guild name being gaelic, or some of the guild titles either.

what was the name yours they had a problem with fluffi?

good idea, i'll do that. i'm normally with him, but sometimes nip off for a few mins. eldest does some bod filling, keg runs and poisoning training for me sometimes, but that's hidden, in the house, so no worries

Good evening all!! Found a simple job, so less UO time soon again... But stopping the savings dropping.

G'day Barian, morning babblers

 

[Guest]

[Guest]

There was a party.
A big party.
With cake.

 

[Guest]

*humpf*



i didnt want to go to a party and have stupid cake anyways!

 

[imported_Wishbone]

Where da cake?!

 

[imported_Tabby Kapak]

Morning all!!

 

[Guest]

good morning people.

Am now surfing with Firefox........both our boys have been trying to persuade Terry to use it for years!

 

[Guest]

What do you think of it?

Personally, I could never go back to IE, if I had a choice in the matter. If I didn't have a choice, it would be a difficult transition.

Also, *Yawn*
Morning

 

[Guest]

Not that much different tbh up to yet, spellchecker's nice though.

What else can it do that ie doesn't, that I might have a use for?

 

[Guest]

I don't know about the latest IEs, but firefox has add-ons, that can do all sorts of stuff, for example:
DownThemAll is a download manager, with resumption and all. Since I've started using it, I've never needed to look at another manager.
Adblock Plus is an ad-blocker, which allows subscription to maintained lists of advertisers, plus manual addition. It can also be used to block images, like sigs you may not appreciate, etc.

There's the tabbed browsing, which I gather was in the latest IE. Middle-click on a link to open it in a new tab, and middle-click on a tab to close it.
Live bookmarks, which I think you already have one at install, for BBC news? Basically, a drop-down list of links, taken from an RSS feed.
There's also the search box in the upper right (which may have been in IE, I don't know). You can add search engines to it, which you can then select to use, and perform searches with the selected one, by typing the search in that box. It doesn't sound that useful, but I couldn't live without it.

A downside would be that it adheres to the W3C standards, moreso than IE. So pages that may have looked fine in IE might not in Firefox, due ti IE creatively interpretting the code.
Plus, there are some sites that have functionality that flat-out won't work in Firefox. But that's thankfully rare.

 

[Guest]

oh, ta. The adblock sounds useful. Sometimes there's a siggie on here I'd rather not be subjected to, but I don't want to turn them all off.

 

[Guest]

it also has an irc plug in, chatzilla and ones for using message boards (bbcode extra, which adds options for things like img tags, pasting as images, urls etc when on message boards).

 

[Guest]

morning all

i started using firefox the year before last and i'll never use ie again. it was crashing all over the place and took an age to load. firefox is just soooo much better.

seen on a button badge - 'the day microsoft makes something that doesn't suck, it'll be a hoover'

 

[Guest]

Oooh Firefox plugins, I love 'em. In particular NoScript (lets webpages run only those scripts you want to allow), Foxmarks (bookmark scynchronizer, particularly useful if you have more than one machine you want to have the same bookmarks on), and, for dealing with those IE-only sites, IE Tab, which allows you to pretend you're running IE when you're not, at the click of an icon. Plus so many more

Goodnight all!! Was a fruitful and satisfying day!

 

[Guest]

Xorartep got the hanging studded tunic last night!
Only the second time I've found that. First one is hanging on the workroom wall at the tavern.

Only one problem, haven't the faintest idea what to price it at on the vendor.
