You'd think, at who-knows-how-many posts, I'd have realized by now that I forgot to post here. Oops.

So, like, have an introduction! I'm Sofaspud. Yes, that Sofaspud, he of the now-defunct fanfiction website.
Don't blame me, it was Verio who shut it down and I lost the fight with them. It's now owned by somebody who wants more than I have to get it back,
so... yeah.

(If anyone is interested, I still have the latest version of the site archived, not counting the forums -- which are a mess of proprietary undigestible code,
this being before the easy-peasy free forum software days -- so if you want something in particular that was on the site, PM me and I can probably get it.)

Lessee. Other than that, not much goin' on here. I stumbled across Bob's work a LOOONG time ago, liked it, and didn't realize he had a forum
going about it until, um, just a year ago. I'm seeing a pattern here.... Anyway, on a different site I mentioned City of Heroes, he said, "Hey, I
know this supergroup...", and, well, yeah. I've been pestering the whole bunch on the Legendary forums here since.

Other than that... I'm not shy. Ask and ye shall be answered.

Hello, and thank you for coming to show.

Since I got things a little backwards and posted an honest observation before I made an introduction, I felt I should make one now.

(peers into the audience.) No, I won't play Free Bird.

I present myself for a moment's entertainment. Ask your questions, and I'll tell no lies.

In the bibliography for Green Ronin Games Paragons, their newer setting for Mutants
and Masterminds. It's described as having "plenty of interesting ideas for a more realistic treatment of paranormals and their abilities."

That's all. Just thought folks might be interested.

... Wal-Mart in my area is offering a ZVUE MP3 player with battery, earbuds, etc. for $40, regular price. Currently they're half off. It claims 512MB on
the box, but in reality is a 1GB player. Wal-Mart is such a national chain that I imagine the same sale is going on elsewhere.

I like it. Figured I'd share, since I'm one of those who can never afford an iPod. This thing is pretty cool and at $20 I couldn't resist (but I
would've paid the $40, for that matter.)

It appears that the RIAA doesn't want people playing songs on the radio anymore.

At least not without a cut.

As some of you may know, Wikia has a wiki for fan fiction. A wiki that
frankly, could stand a lot of improvement. I wrote first drafts for Twisted
Path and (of course) Drunkard's Walk, but both could use a
lot of improvement. And I wouldn't even know WHERE to start on a page for Undocumented Features, Legion's Quest, or lots of other stuff. So I'd
like to rally the efforts of these forums to basically blitz the wiki and get some decent content written up. Would anybody be interested in joining the
effort?

So I manage the cell phones at my place of work.

Someone popped into the yard and stole a cellphone and a PSP out of the trucks in the yard here.

Two points -

That yard is covered, the trucks in question covered by two cameras.

Cellphones have _owners_.

So, four days later.. why is the replacement cell carrying the number of the stolen unit getting voicemail for a 'billy'?

Man, the cops are gonna love this..

• Added /sync command which attempts to get the client and server back in sync when the client allows movement but it isn't reflected on the server.
  (When out of sync, the player will be able to move around, but cannot see other players or NPCs, and other players cannot see them).
  

And it isn't that he is obsessed with making Ranma a girl. That's just a symptom.

I will demonstrate my problem with this paragraph from his latest story:

Quote:

Setsuna Meiou walked into the Fuchu branch of The Bank of Tokyo like she owned the place. Lavender high heels clicked as she walked through
the lobby and found herself a teller, their sound effectively drawing the attention of any male within earshot while her figure did the rest. While the cut
of her business jacket and skirt would be considered modest, they hugged her body in a way that enticed. The package not only failed miserably to hide her
curves, but her ample bosom seemed to strain against the white blouse.
