Is Ray your IT guy? I've heard he's got a special touch with computers...


If he wants to try and fix it, he's free to give it his best shot, but I want him to clean the keyboard when he's done.

I hate you. My stupid dress is itchy and hot and I'm stuck here at this desk. :(

Heh - if one more person calls with a "I can't remember my password" my head is going to explode. Why is it not 5pm yet?:(

Goddamn it. I can DL SL onto this stupid laptop but I can't install it because I have a limited account and not an administrative account.

Anybody here know a way around that other than getting an administrative account which is going to be a several days sort of process? I've got the system specs I need to run it, I just can't install.

why don't you just call your IT people and tell them you want to install Gimp or something harmless, so you need the password?

I only use WiFi at home, both with a three year old laptop and my main computer, and never had any trouble with it...it the connection's good enough, it's perfectly alright (it should be a 54 mbit connection, not an 11...)

Our official IT guy is MIA right now, and the backup is a guy who acted like I had asked him to crack into the Pentagon's computers and launch nuclear bombs at Russia.

I would have done the same Trout. IT guys will *never* give up the administrator password. And that's the reason that user accounts generally don't have much in the way of permissions - it's to keep the network safe!! :cool:

Trout, do you know how many subliminal messages I had to send to Bush through his dog to get him to aim those missiles at Canada? You better not have gotten them aimed at Russia now.

Your IT Guy is named Mia? Have you rated him yet?

I'm not even on the network. I'm on a borrowed computer stuck in a hotel room on a trip right now.

At any rate, the IT guy isn't even the one I talked to. I ended up with a guy who didn't even know what an admin account is. bummer.

I'm working on it.

I would like to simultaneously thank the forum members who helped me test my ship, and apologize for ejecting and killing them. Repeatedly.

Mari, we had a request to list the Clubhouse under search. Since we have group accounting turned on as a matter of policy, everyone shares if the group dissolves and the land is sold, you got hit with 1/30th of the weekly charges. I am not sure how it decides who to charge. If someone gets the charge and objects to it IM me in world and I will make it up to you either by giving you $1L or pictures of Brenda your choice. It has been turned on for a long time.

Just kidding about the Brenda Pictures.

Dear Brenda,

I have a close friend who is a furrie. She is in love with a Gor slave boy, but his Master does not approve of her. So they both like to turn off their online status and hide out in the bedroom of another friend who has a bugging device hidden in her pirated Sex Gen bed.

My Question, When are we gonna play CARP again?


Chris

You are definitely slutty in the best possible definitions of the word. Dirty, hot, and a little scary, but in a good way. I'd like do awful things to you, but I'm pretty sure you'd snap me in two like a twig and leave me cross-eyed, dizzy and confused. I'm giving you a 9.8, tied for the top rating ever given. Almost off-the charts slutty. Shame on you and congratulations. -- Trout

CARP was way too full to do anything. We got our tags and one group member let us play tag on her land. It was an enjoyable outing.

There were about 300 avatars trying to get into CARP. The SIM, oddly enough, was still on-line. It was extremely laggy, though, so we all returned to the club house. Then I crashed. I think people were going to do something with the capture tags at the clubhouse, but I do not know if that happened, as I had crashed.
