# Notice (Oct 19/05): So ends my stay here on Blogger. This morning Google implemented an anti-spam 'feature' that forces me to answer a challenge phrase when I want to post to my own blog. No notice of the change, nothing. Worse is that it doesn't even work! I type the phrase, submit, "An error occured", post deleted. Damn you, Google. Chances are I will revive my blog somewhere else, sometime soon. I'll post the new coordinates here as soon as they become available. (BTW, I'm unable to post anything to my RSS stream, so I'd appreciate it if readers could spread the word and ask people to take a look at this notice)

Update (Oct 19/05, ~noon): After a frustrating few hours (and not just trying out alternatives to Blogger), I've decided that this is a good time to take a break from all this. A day? A week? Who knows. But I need to step away from it before I pass a heavy magnet over the whole mess.

Update 2: According to this post, the reason I'm seeing the CAPTCHA (challenge phrase) is that Blogger has classified my blog as spam. Thanks. User for five years and now I'm spam. I searched the Blogger site, but there is no mention of how to get the spam flag turned off. There is also no way of contacting anyone at Blogger. Wow. Spam they say I am, so spam I must be. Maybe it is time to take a break.

# Purge : In preparing for our next move in May, Nathalie and I spent some time this week going through the boxes we had in storage to see if there was anything we could throw out.

We ended up throwing out 15 banker-boxes worth of stuff (about 60% of what we had in storage). That included a lot of my D&D and RGP stuff. All I kept were my basic set, my 1st edition books (DMG, PG, UA, MM, MM2, FF), a few modules (bought and made), my dice and my figurines. The rest (about 2-3 boxes worth) was thrown out. At first, I was going to try to sell the stuff on ebay, but I don't have the time for that. Nor do I know anyone nearby who would want it. So out it goes. It was a lot easier then I thought it would be.

Comments:

Ahhhgh !! D&D stuff thrown away !! Ahhhggh.

My lab partner... which lab? email me at edward.bilodeau@gmail.com!

But, yes, we're moving, but most probably just down the street to St.Lambert.

Anyway, email me!
