Return of the Trip

Remember when I said that I would be going on a trip but then it was postponed? Well, now it's actually happening. I'll be leaving on June 8th to ride around in my step-dad's big rig as he delivers various things to points unknown, and then return on June 24th (assuming nothing unexpectedly cataclysmic happens). I won't exactly have internet access for most of this time... although, to be honest, I will have some basic internet access on my iPhone and while I do have an IRC client installed on it... it kind of sucks. Besides this, I'll be required to follow an abnormal sleep schedule, going to sleep around 5pm and waking up some time around 2am. (Ideal schedule for avoiding most traffic, but strange otherwise.) Therefore, I don't think I'll be available for games for those 17 days.

I would have brought this up earlier, but... well... I kept forgetting to. My bad.

For anyone who's interested, I'll probably be making regular posts on my twitter account, complete with Geotags.

Trip Postponed

Well, it turns out the air conditioning in the truck is broken and only works when the truck is in Drive, and since it also happened but to a more severe degree on other new trucks that were issued by the company, it may not get fixed until after he's already been here and gone on the next run. And unfortunately, taking a later trip this summer would conflict with either me going to ConnectiCon or to the start of Fall Classes, so it looks like this trip is postponed until next year or something.

EDIT: Now I'm told there's actually a real possibility it will be fixed in time. Stay tuned for updates. :p

FINAL EDIT: Ok, it's not happening this year. Oh well.

Caltak Hits The Road

Starting Tuesday, July 7th, I will be on the road for 17 days with my step-dad. He's a trucker, you see, and he recently received a new truck from his company which has 2 bunks. We only see each other when he's home for a weekend between each of his 17-day trips or when he takes a week off, and since I'm currently unemployed (by choice) and on summer vacation from college, he offered to take me on a trip. Since I like an excuse to see more of the country for free, I accepted. Now, I hopefully won't be entirely incommunicado during that time, since I'll be bringing my netbook and a few other electronic entertainments, but I can't ensure I'll always be within range of an unsecured wireless network. So, while I'll attempt to be on IRC whenever I can, it may be spotty at best for that time period.

I'm not quite dead... In fact, I think I'm getting better.

Yeah! So, hi again. It's me. I know I sort of disappeared again for no apparent reason... I wish I could say it was because my life is so busy, but it's really not. I mean, a lot of stuff has happened, like job changes and remodeling a section of my house as a place to gather with my friends and doing that whenever possible... but there really have been plenty of opportunities for me to come at least hang out in #game1 and I simply didn't. I'm sorry about that. But hey! I think I might be back now. So... yeah. What's up, guys? :)
