PC Video Cards...

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!

Inspiration

Like quite a few people yesterday, I was feeling quite down and out of it. I still am in fact...

But last night I managed a bit of inspiration as often happens when I'm feeling ick.

N-E-Ways, since today is/was Mommy's day I decided to make this...

BUTTONS

Buttons

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.

Custom Book/eBook Covers

Daddy_Gift-VD-Cover-04-Small_1.pngWLBT-2011-Cover-05.png
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.

Book Covers for your Stories

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:

Why cant I just be ME?

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".

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.

So recently, I posted chapter 2 of my story "Aurora"... It was subtitled "Trick or Treat?"... It's possible that you didn't see it, as I've only managed 2 comments on it... Then again it has gotten over 1600 reads/views at last check.

Now admittedly it was a long wait between parts one and two, and it's possible that you read the lastest chapter at TGFiction.Net or LG Tales instead of here, but I have gotten NO NEW comments at either of those sites either.

ePub eBooks Now @ TGFiction.Net!

Hi Everybody! (*waits for everyone to reply, "Hi Dr. Nick"....*)

This is just a little note...

I recently wrote a software module/addon for eFiction (the software that runs TGFiction.Net) called ePubVersion that allows a user/visitor to download on-the-fly created .ePub eBooks of your favorite stories.

I think I'm gonna need help.

Well, I'm close to 3000 words into my new story. That's between 2 chapters unfortuantely.

I'm 2 scenes away from closing out Chapter One, and have a good start on Chapter two. The 2 scenes I need for Chapter One are probably 2 of the more important ones for that chapter. The ending scene is already written but those two scenes just don't want to come out, even tho I seem to know in my head what will happen.

Well something happened....

Well something certainly seems to have broke free at some point.

I took a story idea, made a few changes, and have written about 800 words tonight.

It's not a lot, and I don't know how far till it's gonna be ready, but this probably won't be a short story, although it might have short chapters.

I've been struggling these last few days.

I've been doing quite a bit of reading, and got in my head that I wanted to work on my writing.

So I got out my laptop, and I installed word, and I downloaded the several most promising "works in progress" that fit the mood of what I was wanting to write, and nothing.

I seem to be stuck in a rut for several years now. I have MANY MANY great story ideas, and can usually come up with half of a first post for a serial, but that seems to be about it.

It's that time of year (for me)...

I thought about posting this as a blog here, but instead decided to post it to my blog and share the link...

Basic subject is that it's nearing the 2 year anniversary of Kim's passing...

That time of the year (for me) @ Piper's GeekBrat Blog....

Major Site Outtages

StorySite, GabyZone, ReluctantPress, and TGFiction.Net are down, and will be down for the next several hours. I am re-loading the OS, and upgrading a few things. This isn't a planned outage, but wasn't completely un-expected.

Server Rebuild (StorySite, CyberBrats, GabyZone, and More)

Just an FYI for everyone. I'm not sure when, but sometime this week I will be bringing down the server that hosts StorySite(dot)Org, GabyZone(dot)Com, TGFiction(dot)Net, CyberBrats(dot)Net/Org, ReluctantPress(dot)Com, and several other sites.

The reason for this downtime will be to upgrade the server, update the OS, and get rid of the annoyances left behind after a ferociously pathetic wave of script kiddies trying to break the server.

GabyZone.Com

Just a general FYI, the GabyZone.Com domain is currently down due to DNS issues that are beyond my control (I host the website, but not DNS for the domain). They GabyZone Chatroom is still available via standard IRC access, and from the web through http://www.cyberbrats.net .

-P

P.S. I will post an update if/when DNS is working again.
