Rules of the game: The Last Person To Post Wins thread, general rules: 1. Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. 6. Go to 1. Supplemental rules: A. Multiple posting (the same poster posting two or more posts in succession) is frowned upon, and no element of a multiple posting may trigger the winning event. Thus the first following non multiple post will win. B. However the winning event is defined, it should probably take less than 600 posts and less than two weeks to achieve. C. Posting of larger pics is discouraged (Modem users do still exist, sometimes people read the forum via their mobile data, and these threads can get quite long.) D. Don't post any clearly copyrighted pictures. E. The post rules listed to the left of your post box are all enforced |

Went down this morning to check the computer. It had finally restarted, but when I logged on, it said most of the updates had failed. AAAAARRRGGHH!!!!! I started it downloading them again and came up for breakfast. Ping! David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Went down this morning to check the computer. It had finally restarted, but when I logged on, it said most of the updates had failed. AAAAARRRGGHH!!!!! That might be a good idea. I remoted into it and Update was saying 7 failed and I needed to restart to install the rest. I shut down Boinc and clicked okay. About 15 minutes later, I went down and it was once again stuck at 13%. Ping! David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Watched Adam 12: Log 55: Missing Child this morning. Featured as the missing child's friend, in only her 8th credited job according to imdb.com, was Jodie Foster. I went back and looked at her and yes, it does look like her. Just remoted into the computer again. Most of those updates failed again! This time I deselected all of them, then selected the first 10 security ones to install. Just checked it and they're ready, so I hit restart. We'll see what happens this time. Ping!
