Hey, I now have a PC camera
Not too long ago I came back home, after shopping for two long, excrutiating hours. I bought a digital camera/recorder/pc camera for a damn cheap $30, so the quality isn't too great but it gets the job done. Seven installations, three restarts, and one runtime error later, I now have the camera set up and working. I was about to give up and watch some anime, but I guess it pays to follow through. I don't know how this has anything to do with Lost Legends, but I said I'd get a camera didn't I? I took a few pictures and cheaply edited one to use for my photo on LL. Now I just need to find a website that'll host webcams..

Anshu is something else
Seventeen past eight I decided to write a message on chat out of boredom. Pretty much the whole day, today, I was the only one logged on. So the chat went like this..

(chat) Anshu: lol

That was pretty much my day. I'm going to make another entry after I restart my computer, I just installed something. Yippee.

Here's something for the Creators
Eh, I was going to copy/past the post I just made on the creator board but reality just hit me. If it's on the creator board it's probably not for players' eyes. But, it's titled Amount of Reports. Figure it out yourself.

The whole post has certainly been my main concern for the longest time now, and I've made smaller posts on similar topics several times before. No one heeds my advice though. I'm absolutely against new areas. There are so many bugs in game now that I'm waiting to see creators focus their attention on those parts first before they send another poorly-checked area in game and create a neverending cycle of reports.

Stepping off that topic, and onto something more cheery, I really like the photo idea in characters' finger information. So far I've seen about six players using that feature, though two of those pictures didn't show up. But it's most of the regulars that have put up a picture and I'm feeling left out as always. ;) If only I had a recent picture.. I think I'll purchase a webcam and take shots with auburn hair and some after I've dyed it a black iris.

Layout
Hope you like the layout colors by the way. Woohu has these default layouts so users can only customize colors and appearance, so I spent about an hour changing mine. It originally looked like this, and I just turned to my LL website and matched the colors up. I like the results.. and I make websites and layouts all the time, so it pleases me to spend countless hours on them.

Well, back to fixing typos.

Welcome to my Lost Legends journal
My first entry.. well, as I wrote in my profile here, this journal pertains solely to Lost Legends, which is an LPMUD I also code for. So, I created this journal tonight and might as well mention something.

Around mid-July I became silent and started to be invisible from players and creators alike. I was going through a bad time and didn't want to let others know, and I didn't want to bother them or be bothered. I removed more than half the names on my allow list and by September I was logging in much less. To be blunt, I was depressed and this also made me less motivated to code. After a good break of solitude, I used being invisible to my advantage so that I could code without distractions. Later one day I logged in and noticed an old friend had retired, reasons unknown to me. I'd like to think I wasn't a reason for why they vanished, but I really don't know. Part of me going on the break was, in fact, because of them.

Since I've been gone for a while I haven't done much coding. It's kind of upsetting to think about it because I don't have time to code the things I want to. I mainly clean the boards, as I have been doing for two years. The boards are really my main concern and I'm just upset I can't fix half of them because I don't have access to spells, commands, guilds, etc. Which tend to be the source of most reports. But even if I had access, I probably still couldn't fix them. I've never worked with spells or commands, even though that was my initial reason for becoming a creator. Yea, but you don't need to know that, I'm just rambling on.

I have plenty of projects underway though, which I'm always excited about. If you're a creator, stop by my workroom and read my list of projects. It's out on the floor so you can't miss it. And I don't care if you walk around my workroom, just be courteous and ask if you can goto me if I'm on at the time.

Well, I'm off to fix typos.
