So, I just realized that I've been here for ten years. Gah. February was when I signed up and that took place back in 2004... |

Too bad my PCs only remembered him as “that guy who died“ while they revel in the memories of other Candlekeep scribes who (by virtue of not being killed so quickly) managed to become interesting, entertaining NPCs.
I've never actually tried this. I've been tempted, sure, but never quite got around to making NPCs of my friendly Candlekeep scribes colleagues. |

Hmmm. I guess I had forgotten about those. Although, now that you mention it... I think Dargoth was the one that also argued about Orcus in Planescape, etc.
Regardless, he is missed.
We really need to get the "band back together," so to speak. All the old-time scribes of Candlekeep that we had such good times with. 
Indeed! Which reminds me, I'm still disappointed that the Lady K missed her regular August visit, last year...
I have reminded her, many times. She promises to pay more attention to Candlekeep eventually. But I think the Lady K has spent far too much time with me... because SageTime is slowly catching up on her activities as well.  |

Nightfall, who I still talk to over on IM's, tended to have a lot of discussions about Orcus. :)

A cake full of bhaalspawn-related queries, courtesy of exchanges between yourself and long-lost scribe, Dargoth, and written in frosting on top.
Enjoy!
Mean, so very mean! Laughs though, those discussions... oh good gods, did they get very heated. Haha.
@Fall3ndo11. Thanks! :) |

I was leaving that as the surprise innards of the cake... so Kuje could have a little laugh about all the times he and Dargoth came into debate about Orcus.
Truly, the times of both scribes at Candlekeep have been entertaining for us all.  |

Don't feel too bad. I said something to my friend the other day about Prodigy, the online service, and she thought I was talking about the band by the same name. Youngin's don't know what they missed out during the 80's and 90's. :)
Oh, wow, I forgot about Prodigy. Yeah, I was over there talking D&D too. |

Well, an exploding cake would go perfect with Sage's gremlins. :) But thanks for trying. LOL. |

SageOS, eh?
I‘m afraid you‘ll not find many analog computers to run it on these days, my friend. Perhaps you‘ll develop SageUSB sometime in the next decade? |

Indeed. Thanks goes to you as well for creating this site and this place. So, good times indeed, Alaundo. |

I still have dial-up for one of my older machines, running a very early version of SageOS. It's sometimes a unit I use to travel these halls, which is also why I believe that I may actually be responsible for some of the gremlins plaguing operations at Candlekeep. That version of SageOS has a LOT of bugs. |

There is an app for Android devices that does nothing but play the audio sequence of a dial-up modem doing its thing.
I had dial-up when I first ventured into these halls... I recall, in particular, how much of a pain it was getting thru all the active threads after the hurricanes of 2004 -- my connection was even slower than normal, and dropped so many times it wasn't funny. I got DSL shortly after that, and that was such a huge improvement...
My first computer came with a year's free AOL. I knew just enough about computers to know AOL wasn't all that, but hey, it was free for a year, so why not, right?
...Three weeks later I got a different ISP. Even for free, AOL wasn't worth the hassle. |

A "it'll remind me of the good times that are gone and make me sad" kind of thing. But, since she doesn't, I feel a little more comfortable saying I'm planning on asking the question this summer. With my luck, she'll decide to randomly visit tomorrow and my gig will be up.
