So I was watching cops, as there was nothing on TV... The episode was originally aired on November, 25th, 2006...

For those that saw it, sorry about the cache glitch. We are constantly trying to tune, and improve performance of the site, and sometimes we break things as we go....

Hi Everyone!

Hey everyone!

So as the title of this blog reads, we are looking for programmers.

So it's been a long while since I posted an update about myself here. I've still been around, working behind the scenes but many may have noticed that I've not been very "public" at all lately.

Truth is, I've been through hell and back, and I don't think I'm done yet.

Due to a hardware failure on another server, and the need to test hardware. One of our servers (Eva) which is the primary Star Stuff server, is going to be taken offline.

Bill's passing has made things a bit more urgent as the status of the house is still unclear as to what will happen with it, and how long it will take!

Bill passed away this morning at 12:26am. (Sunday, October 7th, 2012).

His sister and cousin were with him. I only lasted 10+hours waiting....

I miss him more already.

I'm going to make this post, as Celebration of the Man I knew. One of the few people in my life, with that designation, that I can say was a positive influence on my life.

First the sad part...

He had a major stroke about 2 weeks ago, and has been unconscious and unresponsive for the last week. The doctors have decided that there is no chance of his body making any recovery, he also has a high fever that they can't get to go down.

Bill was a great Man. He wasn't a politician, he wasn't a super hero, but his present affected many in this community.

Just a quick FYI....

I'm working on MySQL and a few other things on the pirmary and 2ndary servers...

BigCloset, TGLibrary, Stardust and OTHER sites could be a bit flakey tonite....

Sorry, but I'm really excited about this...

Last Saturday, I got a "bonused" secret shop... It's a shop that needed to get done LONG time ago, so they offered a BONUS to just get it done.

I hopped at the chance, and got my bangs cut :)

So I went to write my narrative (for my secret shop today), and out came this instead....

Anyone looking to BE a roommate?

I have a short window of opportunity to purchase a Mobile Home from a friend at a low monthly rate direct from him.

It's in North Vernon, IN about 65 miles South of Indianapolis and I can't afford the Mortgage + Utilities and Food on my own. I'd bee looking for someone that could contribute between $300 and $400 per month which would include rent, electric, water + sewer and internet.

For those of you that don't know, Bill has been in the hospital for 7 days now... I won't go into what got us there, but he has a UTI, a pretty bad one, and he should be going from hospital to Nursing Home, and from there to another Long Term Nursing Facility...

I don't get out of the house much... In the last several months, I've only been able to go about 2.5 blocks from the house, due to the fact that I'm Bill's 24/7 caregiver when Bill is at home, and we don't have a working car.

Just an FYI...

Erin is still home, but she is currently without internet acces. She's trying to figure the problem out herself, but the soonest her internet provider can get a tech out is Tuesday.

She will peek in on us from time to time via her cell, and various wifi hotspots when out and about, but let's PLEASE keep up our good record and leave the place mostly in tact for when she gets back online again.

For those of you that have been heavy on the site last night and this morning, may have notice an inordinately large amount of what I'll call "Small/Micro Outages". I've been working on tweaking the server all night hoping to reduce the load and fix a few small recurring errors. I did sleep for a couple hours, but basically since about midnight last night I've been "fixing, testing, restarting" in what felt like an endless cycle.

It's been 4 years, 1 month, and 3 days since she passed away...

Sorry to be a bit crass...

But does anyone have a spare PCI-Express Video Card?

Preferably something PCIe x16 compatible with a decent amount of memory?

This is partially an FYI, partially a request for help.

Bill and I (and our Chocolate Lab Penny) recently had to re-locate to a local hotel.

The reason, as you probably suspect, is that "Black Mold" was found in our home.

Much of our furniture and other things are going to be tossed out in the process of cleaning the house.

This process includes tearing up all the carpets, and scrubbing all the walls, floors, and ceiling with bleach to make sure it's ALL GONE.

I found this article/blog on WOOT earlier about CHILDREN and GENDER EXPRESSION. The resulting forum thread is surprisingly intelligent, well discussed, and seems completely non bigoted.

http://kids.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=5005091 will get you to the forum thread that I was speaking of.

Both the article and the responses are quite interesting food for thought, and there seems to be no biased involved!

Everyone's button count has been removed. We aren't ready to release the new "product" yet and we said this could and would happen. In fact I want to let everyone know that it WILL happen again, when the system goes live, in order for everyone to start on an even footing.

Hi Everybody,
     I know i posted this before, but it's been a few months, and I felt it time to re-post this note.

Some of you may know, but other's probably don't, that I've been making book covers for not only my own, but other people's stories.

I make these using Stock Art purchased or found freely (royalty free archives) off the internet.

What Lies Beyond Twilight was done a while back, and is a little cluttered, but has nice pop/visual and I decided it needed showing.

This is a refrence blog of things that people have mentioned to us as being broken or different.

Item's that have been "fixed" or we have decided to not fix, are marked with a strike through.

Hi Everyone!

For all you GuildWars players, Today (October 15th) from 12pm CDT to 6pm CDT is "Pink Day in LA!"

Pink Day in LA is an annual event that happens in GuildWars and is Sponsored by GuildWars Entertainment Network (GW-EN) and Gamers Giving Back.

The goal this year is to raise over $13,000.00 for The Canadian Cancer Society, and if you donate $10 or more, you'll get an entry into the super-awesome raffle that has a ton of great prizes that you can check out soon!

Hi Everybody,
     now that most the work with transferring servers seems to be finished, I thought I could take some time to post this note.

Some of you may know, but other's probably don't, that I've been making book covers for not only my own, but other people's stories.

I make these using Stock Art purchased or found freely (royalty free archives) off the internet.

Here are some examples of my work:

For those of you that don't know, Let me start off by stating that I am part of the "AgePlay" or "Littles" or to segregate even more, "LG" and even "AB" communities. For those that don't know, LG stands for Little Girl, or is sometimes known as ALG = Adult Little Girl. AB on the other hand, stands for "Adult Baby".

Within the Age-play/Littles/LG community there are many segregations like LG, for those that feel older than Toddler aged, and generally don't have a need for "padding".

Sorry for the delay, but this is an official note. TGLibrary is back online, and completely stable and will continue to stay that way :)

Just for those that are interested, Bill has been home with me for the last month and a half, close to two months.

I've been providing 24/7 care by myself, shuffling him to doctors, and dialysis and hospital as needed.

Hi Everyone, quick note... Zoe Taylor's alive and OK ishk. She's stressed and coping with it, and hopes to get back into the swing of things soon, but isn't sure when that will be.
