Yet another MMO, RIFT

[slgrieb]

Oh, I'm not dead, just suffering a severe case of recto-cranial impaction and a higher level of chaos and disorder than my standard already high level. Didn't have a chance to play for a solid week. Then we (duaghter) and I had a day or so of serious connection issues. This weekend, I pulled the water pump from the Suburban. 3 days later, I'm still trying to get enough of a break to put on the new pump. I'll drop a line soonest.

I successfully installed Rift on Ubuntu and it ran! Sadly the machine I tested this on had a shoddy video card incapable of handling the game but it does work. I may just image all of my machines and then make them all dual boot with Ubuntu now. In addition I will be giving myself a crash course on setting up an Ubuntu server and how to set up a VM environment on it hosting SBS 2003

I'm still out there, but I have been an infrequent flier of late. Poor old Slobberchops hasn't had a run in a week. He's still languishing at level 21. My entire Memorial Day "Holiday" consisted of performing driver duties for my kids social schedules, some minor auto maintenance, plus smoking a brisket. It was an 11 pounder, so that's like 18 hours on the smoker, basting, tending the fire, and guzzling beer to fight off dehydration since it was 105. Monday was spent praying for death (see 18 hours of guzzling beer). And of course, my Christmas present, a pre-ordered Witcher 2 showed up on the 25th, and so that consumed a lot of available gaming time. Maybe I should PM you and set up a playdate, if you still have a lower level character and GF is amenable.
