[18:04] * web16 () has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[18:04] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> "15 seconds of violence followed by a committee meeting"... 🤣  One of the main reasons I have no patience for football
[18:04] <HoundMistress> Yep! How's everyone? Hi, stnezz & bynw
[18:05] * web16 is now known as KK
[18:05] <HoundMistress> Hi Evie
[18:05] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi HM!
[18:05] <KK> I'm here.
[18:05] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi KK
[18:05] <~bynw> Hi KK
[18:05] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> KK, Hello!!
[18:05] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK
[18:05] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Yay!
[18:05] <HoundMistress> Hi CG
[18:05] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yay, we'll have a log!  And hopefully our forum back soon so we can post it!
[18:05] * ~bynw is at a SuperBowl Watch Party .... go Eagles
[18:06] <KK> How's everybody? Bracing for the next storm?
[18:06] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It was in the mid-70s here today, I think.
[18:06] <~bynw> now there is the TD for the Eagles
[18:06] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hoping for *any* good storm
[18:06] <KK> I kew that, Bynw. ;-)
[18:06] <HoundMistress> We have a cold week coming up after a week in the 70s and 80s
[18:07] <KK> We're due to get snow Tuesday/Wednesday, 4-6 inches.
[18:07] <HoundMistress> Wow!
[18:08] <HoundMistress> What about your neck of the wood, bynw?
[18:08] <KK> We had 7" two weeks ago, and about an inch last Thursday.
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Looks like we're not very likely to get rain until Tuesday, but temps will only drop to the 50s, so that's fine
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> We've got some cold coming up (lows in the teens), but mostly sunny
[18:09] <HoundMistress> Hoping for the rain next week.
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Good evening!
[18:09] <~bynw> we are going to get snow on Wednesday ... maybe
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> (BTW, for anyone not wanting to watch That Game, NEORSD has posted "1 hour of clean water flowing after treatment at a sewage plant". It's just that: a waterfall of clean rushing water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5bpxm1lWmA )
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi!
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hiya Marc!
[18:09] <~bynw> hi Marc
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> How is everyone? How are you, KK?
[18:10] <KK> I'm good,
[18:10] <HoundMistress> I have the Super Bowl on in the other room, but since I don't have a dog in that hunt, I'm not really paying attention.
[18:10] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Yes, the snow... I would not be surprised is they canceled at least one day of school this week. But the kids already have Friday off for Valentine's, so we shouldn't give em too much freedom lol
[18:11] <HoundMistress> Hi marc
[18:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> They gives kids time off for Valentines?
[18:11] <HoundMistress> So no one will be embarrassed by not getting any valentines?
[18:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Ha! That might be the reason
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> And yep.
[18:12] <KK> Time off for Valentine's.  Hmmm.
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Possibly because it's Saint Valentine's and it's a Christian school
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Missing Valentine's Day would have been so disappointing! That's when we used to get candy. 😄
[18:12] <HoundMistress> could be, I guess
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's literally SAINT Valentine.  😄
[18:13] <HoundMistress> Yep, all those little peppermint flavored hearts.
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Don't worry, they're well compensated. We're gonna theme the whole week around it until they are either lovesick or sick of love
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Just, you know, teach the little urchins about the history behind the holiday and then move on. 😄
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Good idea!
[18:14] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Or big urchins, depending on age range. 😄
[18:14] <HoundMistress> I don't think I know the origin of it
[18:15] <HoundMistress> I know there was as St Valentine
[18:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> https://www.nytimes.com/article/valentines-day-facts-history.html#:~:text=Valentine%20was%20arrested%20after%20he,Chaucer%20may%20have%20connected%20St.
[18:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Legend has it he married Roman soldiers and women in a Christian manner, when that was not favored. I'd say it in more strong terms but I don't know the story well myself
[18:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> There's multiple origin stories, but there's a couple
[18:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> And the cards were letters he received and sent
[18:17] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> "A couple" heh
[18:17] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL
[18:17] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Pun not intended but gladly welcomed, because Valentine's Day.  😉
[18:17] <~bynw> just so everyone knows i have clean copy of the database. and i'm working on replacing the files. but the SuperBowl will slow me down and work tomorrow will as well. but i'm working on it.
[18:17] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> They're middle to high school. It's amazing the differences in behavior I find in one building. But I like them. My new mission in life is to be the best teacher I can for them.
[18:18] <HoundMistress> What happened to the database?
[18:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> We don't deserve such a king's champion as you. 😀
[18:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> The site was hacked repeatedly.
[18:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> We got hacked and defiled
[18:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Desecrated.
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> By political losers
[18:19] <~bynw> the website (Rhemuthcastle) was hacked several times on Saturday. so i had to clean it up.
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Oh, "defiled". Just got it. Good one!
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We'll need to get our Archbishops and Bishops to reconsecrate the forum afterwards
[18:19] <HoundMistress> Oh, that's a shame! Nothing is safe anymore. They hacked the email of the Breakfast With The Beatles, too.
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> https://tenor.com/view/bishop-sy-younger-ramp-church-gif-22986132
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I permaban thee in the name of the king!
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi all. Not feeling well tonight so may not be here too long
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> So sorry for that!
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Sorry you are feeling unwell
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Awww, DFK, so sorry to hear that.
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Aw man.
[18:20] <HoundMistress> Hi, DFK, and hope you feel better soon.
[18:20] <HoundMistress> Where's Duncan?
[18:20] <~bynw> if i knew where they came from by IP i would but unfortunately i cant find that information
[18:21] <KK> Good heavens. Hacked.  Who'd 'a thunk  it.Who'd 'a thunk it?
[18:21] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Maybe recovering from his birthday bash  😉
[18:21] <~bynw> and defaced with Profanity
[18:21] <HoundMistress> Right KK
[18:21] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> We wouldn't'a thunk it until we went to RC and found some lovely obscenities
[18:21] * KK () Quit (Quit: Client closed)
[18:21] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> There were more F-bombs on our forum than were overheard from the soldiers at Cardosa when Wencit invaded.
[18:22] * web95 () has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[18:22] * web95 is now known as KK
[18:22] <HoundMistress> Is that KK?
[18:22] <HoundMistress> Oh, OK, thanks!
[18:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> So we've been patiently waiting while Bynw has been fixing it.
[18:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Of all the websites to bother with.
[18:23] <KK> I think aphne steppd on a key and locked me out, so I had to exit and renter.
[18:23] <HoundMistress> Glad you are back!
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> We're just some chill folks who talk about books and writing, revolving around a very special writer
[18:23] <HoundMistress> Probably kids learning to hack.
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Naughty Daphne! Your cat treats are in the mai--I mean, don't do that again!
[18:23] <KK> Iwas just thinking, Hacked?! Why us?
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Because they could
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> That is an excellent question
[18:24] <~bynw> yeah that's what i would like to know
[18:24] <KK> That's what I was thinking.  Some people are just destructive.
[18:25] <HoundMistress> Evil for the sake of evil
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Your books prepare us well for this.
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Lots of baddies beyond reason therein
[18:25] <~bynw> we aren't political .... i could understand if we were but we aren't
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yup. Just happy to make life crappy for everyone else
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> It could have been people promoting the cause that the vandalism mentioned, or it could have been a false flag attack against the cause etc. (C.f. Javan versus the false Michaelines at the end of King Javan's Year.)
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Well, we're pretty pro-Deryni, but aside from that.
[18:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Or they could have just been massive [bad words].
[18:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Yeah I thought it was pretty funny when I asked Nezz earlier today how my human P.C. would feel about being Deryni scanned and she told me "Deryni wouldn't think it's invasive" 😜
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Marc that is really great . Best of luck with your new job
[18:27] <HoundMistress> Richard Cabesas?
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Unless the Deryni mentioned it, the human might not even know he was being scanned.
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Unless the Deryni was clumsy at it
[18:27] <HoundMistress> True
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Thank you kindly! I'm sure the well wishes and prayers here helped
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeeeessss! Employed Marc can buy the next Deryni Trilogy now!  😉
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> There's different levels of "scanning." This one wasn't really any different from a Human standing at the street, staring at a house. They can see the house, its color, its yard, and even what they can see through the window, but that's completely different from turning invisible and walking around inside the house, poking through your underwear drawer.
[18:29] <HoundMistress> They walked around inside and looked in our drawers and cabinets?
[18:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Marc, you aren't done yet? Drat! I forgot (again!) that people here might not have read the whole series yet!
[18:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> It could have been people promoting the cause that the vandalism mentioned, or it could have been a false flag attack against the cause etc. (C.f. [redacted too late])
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> No. I'm currently sidetracked by the lodge of the lynx 🐈�⬛
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Lodge of the lynx?
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> No, I was just making the comparison of how invasive someone looking at your house from the street versus how invasive someone snooping around your house would be.
[18:30] <HoundMistress> OK, so they looked but didn't get inside really?
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> No, I understand. It's just ... I asked how a human would feel and you told me how a Deryni would feel. 🙂 we all love the Deryni tho
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I just thought it was funny
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Like, you're a really good role player to be approaching it from the Deryni pov
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Anyone going through my underwear drawer is gonna say "Weirdo, why do you have soap in here?!"  😂  (Years ago, a friend gave me some fancy bar soap that smelled good, so I put it in that drawer hoping the fragrance would permeate everything.  Then at some later point, I got another fancy soap, and did the same thing. Lather, rinse, repeat.  A few months ago, I reorganized that <clipped messag
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt>  drawer, and kept fishing out soap bar after soap bar from the back corners, thinking "What the HECK?!")
[18:32] <HoundMistress> I used to do that with smelly goods.
[18:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Nezz is referring to what different levels of Deryni scanning might be like, not to the forum hackers, if that's what's confusing you.
[18:33] <HoundMistress> OK.
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> It's the second KK and Deborah Turner Harris adept novel
[18:34] <KK> Bynw, I'm sure you had everything well backed up.
[18:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Almost everything except the day of the attack, I think
[18:35] <KK> brb
[18:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Thank goodness for Bynw. 🙂
[18:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> So I think only one or two posts were lost
[18:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Agreed!!
[18:35] <HoundMistress> That's good!
[18:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Because St. Bynw saved the day
[18:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Who provides the Rhemuth Castle software and hardware? I'm in a group that might find a forum useful.
[18:36] <HoundMistress> Are we just in a HD or in The Cloud?
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's a Simple Machines forum, IIRC
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> What is that?
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> It's funny but at some point in the first book I realized that it was heavily inspired by an intimate knowledge of freemasonry. Much more intimate than I possess. Then i reach the point in the second book where they start discussing freemasonry weathering controversies and having cool characters for members, the same week i reach the part of 1 Kings where Solomon builds the tem <clipped messag
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> ple, and I end up visiting a lodge for the funeral of a mason who was a friend of mine.
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> God certainly likes his rhymes
[18:37] <~bynw> the forum software is SMF (Simple Machines Forum)
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> https://www.simplemachines.org/

[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> God certainly likes his rhymes
[18:39] <~bynw> i think SMF is one of the better free forum softwares out there ... has the most features et all
[18:40] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Inspired by Valentine's Day I have question
[18:40] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Top five KK Book Couples?
[18:41] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Alaric and Richenda
[18:41] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Nigel and Meraude
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Rhys and Evaine
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> That's a hard question since there aren't a lot of couples whose relationship gets much focus.
[18:42] <HoundMistress> Alaric and Richenda, Alaric's father and mother, Rhys and Evaine.
[18:42] <KK> Cool, Marc.  Yeah, I did a lot of research for the Masonic bits, both for the Adept books and for Two Crowns.
[18:42] * ~bynw likes Two Crowns. My fav KK book that isn't a Deryni book
[18:43] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Well I'm from the time when you dialed numbers on the phone, if you wanted to change channels you had to get up and turn a knob, we had 5-6 channels all of which went off at MN. You told time by looking at the hands. It's quite a leap to today's tech. Fortunately bynw is patient with me
[18:43] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> It took me too long to realize that you didn't choose the Sinclair name because it sounds nice  🙂
[18:43] <HoundMistress> I'm from that time, too. Didn't have a TV till I was 6 or 7.
[18:43] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> There you go BYNW
[18:44] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We had a TV when I was five, but it was a tiny black and white one
[18:44] <~bynw> INTercepted!!!
[18:44] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My grandmother's color TV was the first one I saw
[18:44] <~bynw> Fly Eagles Fly!!
[18:44] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Top couples: in terms of impact, Ian and Charissa? 🙂
[18:44] <HoundMistress> Oh, yeah, no color till the 60s
[18:44] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Man the Chiefs are getting stomped.
[18:44] <~bynw> yes stomp the Chiefs
[18:45] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If you count the anthologies, then Christian and Charissa
[18:45] <HoundMistress> And Brion's dad and the Deryni lady
[18:45] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Though that's not a KK couple per se
[18:45] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Brion and Jehana?
[18:45] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Anthologies count to me
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> lol, I'm not sure how good a relationship I'd consider Brion and Jehenna, all things considered.
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Alas that Brion and Jehana ... well ...
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> The same Brion she ... you know...?
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> KK didn't write that particular story, but it's in an anthology that she compiled, is what I mean
[18:46] <KK> We had a B&W tv when I was in about 6th grade. Used to watch Mickey Mouse Club, and can still sing most of the songs for the days of the week and what was on.
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I think she made a better half-couple with the second guy.
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Ian Howell?
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> My Master's thesis was typed on a typewriter. Whee re n I did my dissertation I had a computer with word perfect. Thought I had died and gone to heaven
[18:46] <HoundMistress> I think Brion and Jehana lost some of the romance when she hated Alaric so much. But he still loved her.
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Brion and Jehana started off as quite the love match, and she apparently never stopped loving him, it just became a strained marriage over the Deryni question.
[18:47] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Sorry I confused her with Charissa
[18:47] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I did my research papers on a typewriter also, though by the end of my studies it was an electronic typewriter.
[18:47] <HoundMistress> Who was Brion's father and who was the Deryni lady he had a son with?
[18:47] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Brion's dad was Donal (Blaine)
[18:48] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Donal and Richeldis (his queen)? Or do you mean Krispin's mom?
[18:48] <HoundMistress> Yes, Donal! and the lady?
[18:48] <HoundMistress> Yes, Krispin's mom!
[18:48] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> @Bynw what's the score
[18:48] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Jessamy? Or something like that?
[18:49] <HoundMistress> I think that's right, Jessamy or ie?
[18:49] <KK> I got my first computer between Camber the Heretic and Lammas Night.  An Apple 2-e with 2 external floppy drives. What a  joy to type up the final draft of LN and not have to retype pages where I made
[18:49] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> I keep wondering who will be the one to sweep Adam Sinclair off his feet. With an urgency that's maybe more than KK intended writing such a leisurely gentleman 😅
[18:49] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I can't imagine typing a full novel on a typewriter. I wrote the first four chapters of a Star Wars fanfic on one, and that was enough
[18:49] <KK> You'll find the answer to that in a later book in the series.
[18:50] <~bynw> oooo apple 2e with AppleWorks
[18:50] <KK> I was WordStar.
[18:50] <HoundMistress> I didn't get my own personal computer till 1996, I think.
[18:51] <HoundMistress> It's amazing how adaptable we are
[18:51] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I married into a personal computer in 1989
[18:51] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> But it was a PCjr
[18:51] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> I got my first one in 1987. The first "laptop."
[18:51] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Do you remember how he lied about being sent by the lady doctor in charge of the little girl in the first book? I keep expecting her to call him and demand answers and for him to like her moxie 🤣 but it seems like too much time has passed in the story for her to be a candidate
[18:51] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It had a word processor, though, which was all I needed
[18:51] <HoundMistress> Had computers at work years before I got one.
[18:52] <~bynw> many work computers in the 90's and before were just dumb terminals to mainframe systems
[18:52] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My first job with computer access was the one I'm in now. Windows 3.1 with WordPerfect.
[18:53] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> 1993, I think
[18:53] <HoundMistress> Yes, they were slaves to the mainframe
[18:53] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I loved 3.1 and the silly little Sheep.exe program
[18:53] <~bynw> sheep.exe was awesome
[18:54] <~bynw> totally forgot about that until you mentioned it
[18:54] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> lol, Sheep.exe!!!!
[18:54] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Little fiery sheep diving into the bathtub
[18:54] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I was so thrilled to be able to make corrections and change things without having to retype whole pages
[18:54] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We need those in Sims 4
[18:55] <~bynw> that was greak Evie
[18:55] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> https://winclassic.net/thread/1723/windows-sheep-back-systems-esheep claims "Windows 95 & 98 Sheep.exe is back on x64 systems as 'eSheep'", but I haven't tried it and I can't say if it's reputable.
[18:55] <KK> Does sheep.exe still exist, and what did it do?
[18:55] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was even thrilled when I got an electronic typewriter that would let me edit two lines of text before typing them on a page!
[18:55] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I have counted sheep in the sims
[18:55] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> So you can sleep
[18:56] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It just put a cute little animated sheep on your screen that went wandering around while you worked, getting up to stuff. Every so often it would catch on fire for no reason and have to dive into a bathtub to put itself out.
[18:56] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[18:56] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> LOL
[18:56] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It was utterly pointless, but it was so cute
[18:57] <KK> Sounds....interesting.
[18:57] <HoundMistress> I remember little animanls and other stuff but not the sheep?
[18:57] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeah, I think sheep.exe was the original, but others made variations
[18:57] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Do you remember Flying Toasters, bynw?
[18:58] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Yes
[18:58] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> You know, I don't remember hearing about anything like sheep.exe, or the Flying Toaster screensaver, or other little whimsical things since then. They were fun.
[18:58] <~bynw> esheep is in the microsoft store
[18:58] <HoundMistress> I remember the flying toasters
[18:59] <KK> There was something that had little cats wandering along the margins and batting at words.
[18:59] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I used to have an .exe file that if you clicked on it, everything on your screen turned upside down. You could cancel it by hitting Esc, but that was an April Fool's prank we would send around.
[19:00] <HoundMistress> Ah, me. I have to go. Haven't had anything go eat since breakfast and my empty tummy is complaining. Hope to see you all next Sunday!
[19:00] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oh goodness, go eat!

[19:00] <CambersGhost> [discord] <marc_du_temple> Very clever tricks lol
[19:00] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I have Souperbowl Fundraiser soup waiting on me when we get done
[19:00] <HoundMistress> I am. Everybody be safe this week!!

[19:01] <KK> Same here, HM--though it was a far bigger breakfast than I usually do. Brunch, actually, at Waffle House, and they do indeed charge an extra $.50 for an egg.
[19:02] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I think I will go also as still not feeling great. Have a good week everyone., esp. Bynw for fixing out problems. Night all
[19:02] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Bye DFK
[19:02] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> night DFK
[19:02] <~bynw> night DFK
[19:02] <KK> Anyway, my tummy sez it's time to eat again, so I think I'll follow its prompting and go eat something.
[19:02] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Have a great week, KK, hope everything is going well for you
[19:02] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> good Night DFK.   Feel better
[19:02] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Night all
[19:02] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Goodnight, Grand Exodus!
