The Treasure Ship #17 (box art)- Outage

Published by matthew at 2:52 pm

Here is what I planned to do yesterday: Make some dinner, post a new Treasure Ship, write a few posts, and then finish off the night with some Link to the Past. Basically the greatest Saturday night ever, right?

Here is what actually happened: I made some dinner, as planned, but when I tried to jump online, the internet just wouldn’t cooperate. After jumping through a few hoops, the cable company informed me that there might be an outage in the area and that they are working as hard as they can to fix it. A call placed this morning informed me that these outages could last anywhere from 4 hours to 4 days. Ouch.

20 hours and a whole lot of Link to the Past later, we’re finally up and running. It’s weird to think of how internet-dependent some of us become, and once it decides to leave our lives for a few hours, we have no idea what to do with our time. Maybe the internet will go out again, so I can enjoy some time with Super Metroid.

    Eh, cut em some slack. I assume it’s been busy behind the scenes lately.

    The majority is right, +1 Trudy.

    Imaginary +1 for drktrpr1 for cutting me slack. -1 for Nintendude for not. :P

    But really, it has been pretty busy behind the scenes of the site (as well as our non-Tanooki lives), but this coming week should be the start of something pretty amazing.

    I just joined TheTanooki about 2 hours ago, and this is the welcome I get! And I’m already at -1!! I have no chance at all those cute Gashapon figures ;). XD

    Hey, don’t forget, it’s an imaginary -1!

  9. # Nintendudeon 18 Feb 2008 at 5:01 pm

    An imaginary -1 straight to the heart :(….XD
