Just got back from something of a rest cure up in Tokeland WA. A nice, healthy three days it was too. Sleeping regularly for once, three good square meals a day instead of my usual awful eating practices, precious few distractions (read: virtually nothing to do), a chance to get in some shooting (and if I do say so myself I am one mean shot with a .357) and, more to the point, plenty of time to work on VIN without interuption or distraction. What this means is that episodes 17, 18 and 19 of Varneck Inheritor Nergal are DONE! 17 has been posted already. 18 goes up next week, and 19 goes up the week after. You know, its kinda wierd, but it actually looks like we are nearing the end of this little project. That means it will be time soon to start thinking about another writing project... Hmm....

Aw, it'll be sad to see the Nergal go, you guys have done pretty well to make it interesting and psychotic so far  BTW, I'm a better shot than you are with a 7.62 mm Enfield five shot rifle

Sorry, I never shoot at animals.  I've only ever shot soda cans and the usual target stuff

I for one go for busted computer parts. I'm also not too big on rifles myself. I'm more a pistol kind of guy. I've got part of a floppy drive with three good sized dents in it (tough little bugger could sort of handle shots from a handgun) hanging over the obstinant third computer in my network. Sorta an idle threat to it to keep working or suffer its floppy drive's fate

You know, that might not be a bad idea, I've got a worthless 1992 Packard hanging around here somewhere...

Anybody ever thought of making a site that contains all the VIN episodes and VIN related info?

Isn't that abuse against computers or something. Be carefull don't insult a Computer on a network, because then they all stop working, and annoying you.

Swomz, I took up collecting them, but it sort of fell off after I retired  Sheepy, this one's not on a network, and it would probably still crash even if it was.  I don't actually use it anymore anyways

In my case, the third computer on my network (an older compaq) must learn its place. My network has no place for primadona prebuilts with delusions of adequacy. Its spirit will be broken, it will serve me, or it will be eliminated. Whoa, I wonder if this is a sign of my unabiding dislike for prebuilt computers or of my latent megalomania? Oh yeah, about VIN, episode 18 is up. Also, I have no intention of ever setting up a site for the series, for a variety of reasons.

Be careful what you say to me, or there might not be any place for you when I take over the world

*Geist sits in his evil chair in front of his evil computer and plots his evil plots...* muwahahaha! I don't have to do any work at all. First I'll wait for these others to conquer the world, and then, THEN my brilliant scheme will come to fruition! Once I have eliminated them, their empire will be mine for the taking! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

/me looks at Geists siggy. Yes, things'll probably be different, but why would we ever want that kind of different?

I'm sure you will see things better once you are reprogrammed... err... I mean better educated in the glories of my evil... err... benevolent... umm... reign... err... despotism... err... guidance. Thats it. You will see things better once you are educated in the glories of my benevolent guidance. That's what I meant... really. Everything is going to be okay. Oh yeah, episode 19 of VIN is up now.   ----------------------- ~The nerd occasionally known as Jociam Geist THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT WHEN I RULE THE WORLD!

Geez....you guys never learn. There is a difference between senility and megalomania.  Geist is clearly showing signs of rampant megalomania.  As for the geezer comment..... Um, what the hell was I talking about? .... SHARON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good lord...apparently we don't allow you to see The Osbournes.  Yet another sign of American hegemony I suppose.
