 Ouch! Get well soon, and I hope you get back online quickly, too. I hope you didn't lose much data... :/ |

				 Re: Laptop meltdown 
 Sorry to hear about your computer trouble!  And your unfortunate illness too. 
Sounds like the scales problem to me.     Dominions bugs are leaking into your reality.    
I hope everything gets better, you and your PC too!

				 Re: Laptop meltdown 
 Okay, I think I have about recovered enough now. I am now in the process of making my notebook useable again. Instead of installing Gentoo for the umpteenth time, requiring about three days of setup with one full day of compiling (and the new release which should have been done in late 2007 isn't even getting ready right now), I'm now having a go at Arch Linux. I have the base system ready, Xorg and KDE is about done. I might be able to install and play the game tomorrow. |

				 Re: Laptop meltdown 
 Update, I have finished installing Arch Linux and configured it to some extend. It blows.    I'll reinstall Gentoo again, and I'll make sure to come up with some backup solution this time. This might take a good week. Maybe I'm back on the weekend already.   |

				 Laptop\'s back 
 *Hubert J. Farnsworth voice* Good news, everyone! 
I've cockered up my Gentoo installation to a useable system again. DRI seems to be working, too. I'm looking forward to playing my turn within the next day or so. But I think I will let the timer stay off until the weekend is over because of easter. So prepare to meet your doom shortly after that.   |
