Title: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Johncarllos on 24 January 2008, 23:45:12
This topic is for temporary goodbyes or "I'll be gone"s.
It's good to know when some of us will be away.




We're moving.
We lose the internet tomorrow.
We won't have it back at the new place until February first.

So, I'll maybe run down to the local library and occasionally drop in, but until then, don't expect anything of me.

Hopefully I'll have a 'new' computer by then too.

I hope the move is successful.

So when I saw this thread from the main board I literally thought "##### you and you're "I'll be gone" topics" but since I see this is a thread to get of them then I'm cool with it.

Anyway man keep in touch.

I made it with you in mind Mike, I know you hate those things.

Thanks, we already have a good lot of stuff there, but my room is 10% packed, I'm moving the whole thing at once. Busy weekend.

I'll be on maybe half an hour a day.

I guess I should say I'll be gone from February 14th until the 21st or 22nd... I might drop in during that time. I'll be gone in Japan visiting my dad.

Yeeeah, why does he live in Japan?

He teaches English there. My mom and him separated when I was five but it wasn't a horrible divorce. My mother just really felt uncomfortable with the idea of moving to Japan and traveling with my brother and myself being so young. Luckily, we've kept up a good relationship.

Okay, so I got myself a new computer, but our internet STILL isn't back yet, it's pissing me off. Local library wi-fi, surprisingly, ftl. It's slower than death, double the speed of dial up.
I'm downloading ##### tons of programs right now.

My new computer is an HP Laptop, 2GB RAM, 2.0GHZ, 250GB Hard Drive with Vista. Built in webcam and microphones.
$700.
Not a bad deal, it was an early graduation present from my Grandma.

I'm getting Skype.

Post by: Mikero on 17 February 2008, 03:41:25
I did that. I'd usually also follow it up with something unique if I actually knew the person, regardless of if I liked them or not. If someone came up to me and I didn't really know them much I'd try to think of something from a class we had together or I'd plunk in a funny line I had decided I'd use for such people ahead of time.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Chron on 17 February 2008, 13:25:46
I drew in them every now and then, and there would usually be a sketch of the owner in the book.

If I wasn't feeling up to it, I would write something like:
"This was a year to remember, right! We had some great fun, and I remember that party you had with all of those dudes. I hope the AIDs isn't killing you yet!
- [INSERT NAME HERE]"

Where [INSERT NAME HERE] is literally [INSERT NAME HERE].

SO, right now I STILL don't have internet because Verizon eats the hearts of newborns.
Not to mention we don't have freakin' power, a circuit blew somewheres in the house and now we have a few ceiling lights and power in the kitchen only.
It's not the breaker either, just some retarded thing and the electrician is currently 7 hours late.

I can't even play videogames.

Once that's fixed and we have internet, I'll be content at the new place.

Going to Baltimore 'till Sunday for a family bar/bat mitzvah thing.

Who goes to Baltimore? Seriously.

I didn't even know I had relatives in Baltimore. To be honest, I didn't even know I had any relatives under 13.

I don't even know if the relative having the bar or bat mitzvah is a boy or a girl because I'm too embarrassed to ask because I should probably know that.

I also don't know why I'm bothering to let you guys know because I've left for longer periods without feeling it necessary to announce anything.

Catching up on all the posts is difficult. It's like reading a boring novel about bickering old ladies. Occasionally, a few bickering old men, which is much better, because they can be funny instead of annoying.

I'm just letting you guys know ahead of time that I will probably not be on during Christmas so don't expect to see me then.  Because Christmas is a time shared with family.  So yeah.  Just giving you a heads up.  About Christmas.

I'm just letting you guys know ahead of time that I will definitely be on during Christmas so expect to see me then. Because Christmas is not celebrated by Jews. So yeah. Just giving you a heads up. About Christmas.

Christmas? Channukah?

I could be DEAD by Channukah.

But anyway I'm just letting you guys know ahead of time that MMM probably won't be up during my birthday so expect to see a 404 then. Because my birthday is a time when MMM likes to go down. So yeah. Just giving you a heads up. About Collymoremas.

I recently had to deal with a friend who had to run away from home, but was illegally forced there against his will by his adopted mother. After he ran away, She called me saying she had involved the police... I went to the police station to clear things up only to be told there was no report made, but we were free to file our own.

We did indeed file our own report, having a civil stand in where the cop would explain that my friend, being of sound mind and over the age of 18, had every legal right to do as he pleased. This week has been quite the stressful experience. So I'll probibly be on a little less to ensure that things don't get out of hand.

Not that I was on that often anyway.

I'm doing a bible camp thing this week in my town.
I have internet for 3 hours a day, if I'm not doing anything else.
I'll catch up later this week then be gone for another week of football.

Posted on: July 15, 2008, 01:54:44 PM

OKAY, Now that I've caught up, once I log off tonight, it should be the last of me you see until Saturday.

I'm going to the one week training camp for the State All Star Football game. The "Lobster Bowl."
I will practice for about 7.5 hours a day. I'll spend about 2 hours eating each day (or at meal time), I'll sleep for 8 hours. That's more exercise per day than time to myself (not counting sleep).
The game will be on Friday night.
I'm gonna die this week.
Or lose 20 pounds.

The forecast is thunderstorms all week. 80-85 degrees. 70-100% humidity.
I'll miss just sitting in my chair for hours per day....
Oh well.

See you guys afterwards. I'll be on until about 10-ish.

There will be several means for anyone to contact me, if the needs arises. I'll be on, mostly lurking, many of my usual internet time consumers. That includes here, AIM, and a few other areas I'm not too known around.

Today I have been unfairly prosecuted, which result in no computer access until further notice. I changed my schedule last week to Gr.10 math, because my older math class was Gr.11 and I didn't have the prerequisite. So my father got a call from my guidance counsellor saying I was skipping that class, but when we got to the office I told them I've been going to the Gr.10 class, they checked, and said I might be right. My father didn't care and said he was going to take all electronic devices out of my room anyway, in case something like this actually happens.

I went as Drunk Tony Stark, and grabbed an empty Beer bottle there.

She went as Black Cat.

I'd be going around reading things and looking at rocks and silly things, though. I think resorts and such are stupid because they're all basically the same thing and I don't come out richer for the experience.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: ASR on 30 December 2008, 01:12:46
Totally agreed.

Our room has a fantastic view from the patio, but it's basically just a view of the resort itself. And it's pretty, but...

...when you're walking down the hall to your room, all the rooms are on the left side, facing the resort. On the right, there are windows that show you the other side of the island. And it just looks so awesome. Like, giant hills and mountains and ##### and I want to climb and hike through and I just can't because my family is convinced that everybody here is a kidnapper or a mugger.

But yeah, I spend a lot of time writing on the computer, which is nice when you're somewhere like Aruba because nice scenery does wonders for your creativity.

I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ATE used laptops...

... I don't honestly know the reputation of the "ARMADA E500," but...

Ive had it for about a month, and the joints for the screen have broken, completely, due to simple wear and tear.

Given, the damn thing was connected to the base with brittle plastic, and what I can only compare to sottering wire in plate form.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it has A LOT to do with the computer being sent from Kentucky to Washington, in a four day long trip, during one of the area's biggest snow storm.

So I'm going back to the old one I was using last year, I just have to find the power cord again, and my star key to put it back together with.

Long story short, this crappy laptop is dying, and I'll have to make a switch between two laptops.

Hey, guys!

My computer's memory seems to have been overloaded, and I can't access the files through DOS, so I'm probably not going to be on for a while.


PS: Any tips for accessing the files? e-mail me.

I'm not able to do that here.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Chron on 31 March 2009, 22:46:39
Best bet is to boot from a disc (CD, flash drive) and see what you can make of the hard drive from that.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: AlexThePenguin on 2 April 2009, 02:27:50
I had someone else tell me to press F8 repeatedly whilst it's loading.


As far as my experience goes, F8 has never done anything for boot up.

Should it?


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Fatso on 2 April 2009, 02:51:25
If you press F8 repeatedly BEFORE the Windows "Loading" screen shows up, eventually you'll get the timing right and the launch options will show up and you can select Safe Mode among other things.

What Chron is talking about, however, is different. You'll need to find out which key gets you access to your BIOS settings from the motherboard's manual. Alternately it should say 'Press F# to enter Setup', where # is from 1-12.

From there you can change the order of devices to boot from.

EDIT: I should doubly stress this, if you're in there and you see something that you don't understand DON'T #####ING TOUCH IT. There's no better way to completely destroy your motherboard than ill-advised BIOS tweaking

In my BIOS setup, I see nothing relevant to DOS start up, and I've fiddled with everything.

I should note that my BIOS set up has lots of things disabled (not in the sense of toggled off, but in the sense of I can't do ##### to them or they are non-applicable).

... no, I meant the safeboot thing.
It's been so long since I've done it that way that I had forgotten it was before specifically.
I always use msconfig these days anyway.

I couldn't find an option for accessing files without loading the OS.

This is what I'm trying to do.

Post by: Chron on 3 April 2009, 22:43:33
... if you have some restore discs/boot discs, now would be the time to use them.
You'll need an OS to do anything, because the BIOS really can't do file IO outside of bootstrapping.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: AlexThePenguin on 9 April 2009, 20:18:53
Huh. The OS crashed on my last computer, but I was still able to access a file list and save them to a secondary source.

Maybe I'm just confused.

I figured it required doing something physical to the computer to make the files accessible under a different operating system. I sent my own computer in for repair last year and they offered to salvage certain files for me before wiping my C drive and re-installing the operating system. I had already figured they were completely lost to me.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Fatso on 9 April 2009, 23:06:52
No, hard drives are pretty nice that way, as long as it's merely an OS problem and not an actual hardware issue you can just plug it into a new computer, make sure NOT to boot off of it, and extract any essential files.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Chron on 10 April 2009, 02:32:16
Standardization is good like that, but there was a time when files were not only stored in different systems, but using different algorithms for storage and translation (from binary to intelligible form). A short time, but eh.

Hard disc drives are pretty interesting hardware.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Majikn on 10 April 2009, 02:38:09
Considering my computer is having the exact same problem it did before it killed my OS last year, I may need to do that in a few months.

I think I'll just back everything up. I have all the crap for the computer in this little tiny box.

But really, I'm tired of the internet. What I mean is, being so connected, all the time, it's tiring. I enjoy when something screwy happens and I can't use the internet for a few weeks.

I don't really like having my cell phone go down though. I don't like using it for calling people or anything but I like it for planning and stuff, and mostly try to just text with it.

It's nice to not have internet for a bit, you'll notice it frees you up a lot more and you can just ignore more drama aswell.

Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: ASR on 18 May 2009, 04:07:26
Guys, I'm back.

I can definitely say that it was one of most all-around non-stop fun weekends I've had in an extremely long time.

Basically, the classes themselves were equally engaging, hilarious, fun, and informative. And then AFTER the classes, I just get to hang out in frakking Chicago with one of my comedy buddies from college who also signed up with me. We went to a bunch of comedy shows, one on Friday and two on Saturday.

Without a doubt, it's the most and hardest I've laughed in one weekend.

It was also cool since there was a huge age range taking the classes. I was acting like a nutball in front of adults not only equal to my parents age, but some were decades older. And they were acting just as nutty. And when you're doing improv with a group of people, even in a class, you really get close to all of 'em. And these were all genuinely funny people that I had a blast doing this with.

TL/DR: ALEC HAD FUN.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Mikero on 18 May 2009, 05:09:05
That's pretty cool. Too bad it wasn't earlier in the year when the Bulls were playing the Celtics. Then you could've seen some awesome ball that I watched on TV, except live.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: ASR on 18 May 2009, 23:22:33
Yeah, I have a friend who's a huge fan of the Bulls and said something similar. I actually watched at least one of the games you're talking about, and even as someone who could care less about basketball, it was a pretty rad game and everyone I was watching it with (i.e., everyone who was making me wait around until it was over) was getting really into it.

Anyway, we did check out Wrigley Field. So, something sports-related.

But I'm going out at night, so I'll be here some more hours.
Enjoy me while you still can, all of you.
Just keep my clothes on, K?

Posted on: 13-09-2009, 13:53:31

Right. So, I failed a class. And my mom won't let me on the PC until I pass the test for it. Which is scheduled for december.
Which means I might not be here at all until then. Yeah, I might sneak a few times, just to check how stuff goes, but, ugh.
I'm only on to post my farewells on various sites, actually...

I'll be away from April 10th, 2009 to September 30th, 2009, where in I will go through several jobs and my mom dies.

I return because I was looking at my bookmarks and wondering what's up with this place.

It's fine.

I have a little urn with her ashes. So do my brother and sisters.

There's a piece of bone or something in there and it jangles around in there.

It's kind of weird.

Anyway, I don't know what to do with it, other than displaying it on my book shelf.

To all of you who didn't notice I've been gone: I HATE YOU ALL.

I'm still gone. I'm just checking in. The mother of the household has decided it would be a grand idea to give the house a little makeover. Baseboards have been destroyed and about everything from inside the house (including my computer) has been removed so the walls can be repainted and we can get new hardwood flooring.

The past week or so, it's been painting, so I've been online very little on my mom's computer in the kitchen and with only a mattress in my room.

Now the carpet is out. I'm litterally without a home or my own bed until the wood flooring sits for about 3 days.

Oh well. Good news I'm sleeping over at Annie's house in the mean time. And at least the wood will be mahagony.




... Maaaa-hagony.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Johncarllos on 19 July 2010, 22:23:01
... Maaaa-hagony.

That's gone really downhill lately. They're trying too hard.

Anyways, everyone comes and goes.

I still check this place every time I check facebook, which is very very often when I'm at home.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: ChaosVortex on 24 July 2010, 21:06:21
They have their highs and lows.

Also, Im back with new flooring and a bed to sleep in. Internet is back. Only think we need is a finished living room, which will take a couple of weeks because we ran out of wood.

Also, I'm probably going to go see a doctor about my back. It's not getting any better.

This is unrelated to all the spam bots recently, but I have to make this announcement.

I'm moving on, and I'm leaving. Probably permanantly, if not I might check up very rarely.

Basically, I'm pretty much done with video games, my past life, and I want to do something better with it. I can't handle what's going on right now, because literally my life has gone down the tubes and it needs fixing. I would say "I'll be on facebook", but I've decided to deactivate it because of my own personal problems. I'll probably activate it sometime in the long far future.

I still plan on finishing my Mega Man X7 playthrough (I've already beaten it, I just have to add my commentary), but as soon as that's done, consider that my silent adios.

Besides, as much as Mega Man is a childhood character for me, I need to act more like an adult now. Inafune left Capcom, so as of right now, there's no need to really be a fan anymore. I can put my money elsewhere that's more worthwhile.

So yeah. When the time comes, this is me saying "later".

After a drinking party you woke up naked next to a weird guy in a Mega Man costume.

That's pretty much your hit-bottom breaking point. "I gotta fix my life," and all that. Your mind is so disgusted with your actions that you could not possibly regurgitate the same thought processes that have brought you to this horrible conclusion. The change is instant. It is almost miraculous. You're a different person now. You need to show them who you are.

Go get gone, then. I don't care. At all. Bye.

Hope it all works out for you son, but in regards to one thing, enjoying something you liked when a child doesn't keep you from being an adult, and conversely disassociating yourself from it doesn't make you an adult.

To be completely honest, I actually think that going out of your way to distance yourself from things you enjoyed as a child... is actually a very immature thing to do.

But this is MMM! We're not ones to pass judgment on anything!


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Majikn on 18 December 2010, 00:25:16
As much as that's true, he's not "going out of his way" exactly. It's just part of the road. You don't say "I'm done with video games but I'm gonna keep my Mega Mans." Sometimes people need that change. It's not immature if you're getting rid of something that may be negatively affecting your life.

It's true that people still drink alcohol, and learn to do so in moderation, but someone coming back from an addiction might never WANT to have another drink ever again. And that's okay, because there's so many different ways to enjoy life.


Title: Re: The "I'll be gone for _______" topic.
Post by: Chron on 18 December 2010, 03:42:01
So you're saying that he was addicted to Megaman.

I mean I know what all this is about and I'm OK with the fact that he's trying to get away from things.

I'm saying I think we're all pretty much addicted to something, so I don't see it as a hugely bad thing unless it's having a negative effect on your life. I brought in that angle from my own experience, so it's not a judgemental thing I'm spewing. It does happen to people.

It's not really a huge leap when hearing "I want to fix my life" and "I'm abandoning these things" to think that they're connected. If I was wrong I'm sorry.

Oh no, I think what you had to say was quite nice, and definitely has a not of truth in many instances.

I'm saying that from my personal point of view it doesn't really apply here.  (To chaos I'm sure it does... complete POV thing)

Post by: ChaosVortex on 18 December 2010, 08:50:07
Like I said, I still want to finish my MMX7 Let's play just for the sake of completion and then I just want to break out.

Pretty much, what Majikn said was spot on. I've defined myself into a person who in the long run, I don't really like and I want to change that for the better. I might post something in the Creation Station or something if I ever feel like it, but my involvement in some things just isn't building me up into someone I want to be.

I don't want to get into much detail about it, but I'll just say for the longest time, I've wanted to break out and be more mature and productive with my life. I was just too stubborn to actually do anything about it, because it's much easier to enjoy what you've got than to actually work on anything. I'm backed into a point in my life now where everything I used to enjoy I either enjoy it drastically less or not at all anymore. The things I WANT to do are either unavailable or inaccessible and it just feels I have nowhere to go. Too be perfectly blunt, I feel like I have absolutely no worth or value at all.

If you haven't guessed it, yeah, I'm depressed. It's something that I could have fixed long ago, but I wanted other people or other resources to either substitute or fix it themselves. The Matrix is unfortunately one of those things. I've spent way too much on this website and related things that I now consider "a huge waste of time". I'm probably not going to be around much when the time comes, and if I ever stop by, it might be a post in my creation topic but I wouldn't count on it, it's just a thought.
