    How do you crack a tooth on an average piece of toast? :hmm:

    Sounds like the toast had little to do with it and the tooth was basically cracked already. (Either that, or you make toast out of exceedingly dense bread.)

    In other random news, I've had a young stag run into my garden a couple of hours ago. Well, into, then out on the other side of the street, then back through and out on the other end again. Since I'm in the middle of a city, that is not exactly a common occurrence. :heh:

    So over at G3 they've messed with their forums and changed the url of the IE modding news feed in the process... consequently we've gone a few months without IE modding news because nobody noticed the change and/or let me know to fix it. But yesterday I've noticed the curiously long absence of any new news posts myself and fixed the feed. It's now catching up and should be back on track by tomorrow.

    Judging by the number of views of those threads, that would be incorrect.

    I couldn't say, I'm not sure if bot views are displayed there publicly, actually.

    On an unrelated note, I'm finding it rather hard to construct a proper timeline for the history of Nether Scrolls. Every time I think I've got it down, I find another piece of information that contradicts my story and I have to rewrite the damn thing. I'm not even sure the official sources are at all consistent with each other across different editions. :skeptic:

    I am getting a new wave of foreign spam calls. Just this morning, calls from Lithuania and Serbia. Yesterday was three from Slovenia. The weekend brought the Congo. Other recent ones were Burundi, Belarus, Minsk (not sure why that one identifies by city while the rest identify by country), Uganda, and, of course, my normal batch of calls from states in the US where I literally do not know a single person.

    I would have answered the one from Minsk if it had been spelled Minsc. :p

    Slovenia? Now that's bizarre. I've actually turned off the land line in the house because we were constantly getting phone spam calls despite being in the "don't call" directory, which all the telemarketers here merrily ignore. We've been using only mobile phones for the last couple of years. Everyone's got so many minutes into all the networks there that we never use them up anyway.

    Bi-annual check-in.

    Don't have much to say. Even randomly. But going down that top member list and seeing all the avatars made me realize just how distinctly y'all stick out in my internet life. Memories tied of all of them.

    e: gem people still rule.
