Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be VERY scarce, if not totally absent, from now thru the first week of Dec. As some of you know, my connection here at the University pretty much blows; during peak internet-usage hours (Mon-Thu. from around noon til 2 am) CoH simply cannot connect to its servers, because the dormitory network is choked on people using it for things which are both more and less important than CoH. (Oddly enough, if you use the WiFI connections around campus, there's no problem, but I can't afford or use a laptop). This has been going for over a month, and apparently there just isn't a way to fix it beyond cutting a quarter of the residents off the network or upgrading the pipe between the dorm net and the rest of the internet. Neither of these will be happening before December.
I've tried to play by these rather screwed-up rules, but it hasn't quite worked out. I find myself logging in just as everyone I'd want to talk to or RP with is going to bed, or after they're involved in stuff. Weekends are better, but I still feel weirdly detached, like I missed everything important even when nothing happened all week.
In other words, I'm not having any d**n fun. And I've f**ked up my sleep schedule to not have any d**n fun. And it's bitten me in the ass, HARD--I missed a deadline and will be taking the Spring off, not by choice but by force. So I'm just not going to logon anymore after this weekend (gotta try to get Mauler those badges, after all) until I8 drops live, at which point I'll likely be around one or two nights and maybe the weekend before vanishing again.
If anyone needs me, I can be reached via YIM address zqadams, zqadams@yahoo.com or zqadams in Gametap. In the meantime, everyone, play safe and have fun.
