So a bear walks into a bar and says "I'd like a rum and......................................................... coke."

The bartender says "what's with the big pause?"

The bear says "I've had them my whole life".

I love you guys. I so needed this today. Whoever thought combining sewing machines and computers was good...was on crack. My mom now has all these questions, ranging from "where's my file" to "how big is a gigabyte? I don't understand." Sky, sorry to post this in your intro thread. Hope you're having a great day, and looking forward to meeting you in game once my mom succeeds in embroidering a reindeer on a piece of red corduroy.

I taught my mom how to use her webcam this week, it was a lot less frusterating then sewing and computing together!

Verisa

Webcam? Oh dear God, she doesn't even really know about those yet and I shudder to think. The reindeer came out stitched all in green. All of it. Three green reindeer in a line. The problem is there's about 250 pages of manual with this thing, and lots of crazy buttons and crap on the machine itself. The software is pretty unforgiving and not intuitive, so even though I'm an RTFM person I'm at the point where I want to throw up my hands and say, you bought it, you figure it out. But, I can't really do that, because it wouldn't go over well, and I live here too. Grats on showing your mom how to use a webcam! Any tips for initiating the not tech savvy into the world of things with buttons and arcane error messages? :)

Trial and error.

Did your sewing machine come with a video? Sometimes they come with manuals written by other people that make more sense. My serger has a book written by someone else and it has a "if this happens do this" type trouble guide. There are also some forums on different sewing machines!

Can I eat the sewing machine?

Verisa

Ari, there's actually too much documentation - it's hard to find what I need and if I do usually my question isn't answered, so really 90's method of trial and error has been the way to go through the whole thing. Bram, no self-destruct mechanism has been found but I'm working on it and will keep you posted, and Liv, I'd have handed you a knife and fork a couple days ago, as well as all the ketchup you needed, but now I do kind of like the green reindeer so it's okay.

Crazy Rambles's picture

Crazy Rambles

green reindeer> brown reindeer
and with most things of complexity, trying to feel out the mechanics of it works well (that trial and error above mentioned), but using the manual as a back up/reference to what trials are ahead of you should supplement the usage of the sewing machine

This is basically how Amaranthian operates. Democratic guild built around membership involvement and derailment of threads.

Crazy Rambles

So sky, how's life been these past weeks?

Furiouso

Skyviannes, welcome! Feel free to totally rerail the thread and keep these yahoos in line. What's up this week for you? I'm in NYC on vacation!

Fazil's picture

Fazil

Also, how'd you pick your name? what's it from, if anything? What's it mean? How does one pronounce it...so we don't say "skivvies"? :D

Lycannon's picture

Lycannon

I want a pet reindeer.

docjones's picture

docjones

I want a pet miniature reindeer that I can pet and love and call "George"

Vasya's picture

Vasya

Furiouso, you're up.

Skyviannes

um i'm not really sure how to say how to pronounce it in type, but it's ok everyone says it wrong at some point. It's not from anything really just an rpg name that's followed me around for a few years. i likes it.

oh and...no reindeer for rachel

For now, this thread is your something back, kind of.

So I see your name is jeremy, you know lycannon, play a mage, and have some history of rpgs. Let's start with easy stuff!

How do you and Lycannon know each other?
Where do you live? Do you like it, or do you want to leave?
Are you in hs/college/between? Where, and what are you studying?
What are some rpg's that you have played?
If you could have one superpower what would it be?
If you could meet three people in history who would they be?
What's your favorite technological innovation?
How do you feel about the recent discovery that the platypus has distinct genetic elements from mammals, birds and reptiles?

Also, I don't think anyone has seen you in game? Have you /joined amaranthian?

I've seen and talked to skyv in game, way to just not pay attention john. GOD.

He got a response 24 hours later, your reply is a bit late, John. :P

Otherwise good questions!

I grouped w/ him for H-mgt last weekend...but the lack of a 5th member didn't get it off the groud (although i was flying about Shattrah...and the only way to get off the ground in H-mgt is to jump...)

I've known lycannon irl since third grade. Kinda been a best friend type for most of those years. I lives in texas, small town, and i love it, don't see me going far anytime soon. I'm between college right now, plan to go to SAGU and study to go into ministry, most likely youth. I started meh whole rpg career with old-school diablo 1, played d2 some, runescape :P and some others that i've prolly forgot. If i could have a super power...idk, invisible or control time. Three people from history Um...jesus, hitler cuz i'd kinda wanna slap him for the whole holocaust thing, and...some random guy. I vote compy, best technology i play with. I did not know that, but i think platypus is a funny word.

I'm in game a lot and i /join amaranthian, but i guess i'm real sneaky like so ya'll don't see me :P

Skyviannes

Woot another Texan....yay \o/

Dead Oak ? Why did they change it from Red Oak , or are you implying the city is more or less a ghost ?

Ariwyn's picture

Ariwyn

HEy! I'm near DFW - I'm in Murphy (it's like East Plano). I've actually driven Through red oak once.

Skyviannes

it's dead oak because most people hate the fact that there's nothing going on here, it's a pretty quiet town...or at least used to be, it keeps getting bigger now :(

Hey Sky, you got in! I'll ginvite you next time I see you online.
