For my next co author I would like to have a former shard owner/admin.
Gay ol time at the store tonight.
So… This guy gave me his phone number while I was working. it turns out him and his wife find me attractive. I heard from a co worker they liked my bum and they wanted to know if I was a lesbian because they wanted to have a threesome.
That was great…
You’ll know where to find me
I will be taking a hiatus from irc and steam chatrooms until these issues are solved. If you want to reach me, you’ll know where to go. If not, you don’t pay attention.
Update
I managed to get some irc/steam in. If the connection holds enough I’ll hang around. Can’t promise a multiplayer game though.
Planned outage on Monday.
On Monday the game servers and forum will be shut down. Our ISP is coming by to inspect a internet connection problem. Starting at 11 am this morning we have been randomly dying.
The outage will occur Monday between 3:00pm and 5:00pm.
Saturday Night Open Thread
I survived a long day of work. They forced me to take an entire hour for lunch so I pulled my laptop out and played some HL2. It was insanely busy today.
Glad to be home off my feet for the moment sipping some earl grey. I think I’ll get some laundry started in a bit and go for a soak.
Robot Rumps?

This was one of the many shows I grew up on. It’s no wonder I like getting together with others to watch something horrible just to add commentary.
Probably won’t see much of me til tomorrow.
Probably won’t seem much of me tonight. I was asked to come in early tomorrow, which is fine with me! I won’t say no to extra money in me pocket. Already have my clothes on the desk for tomorrow. Still doing that emo thing.
Open Thread Strikes Again
Seems it’s been hard to write anything. Things are going well, went back to work today and everything was fine. No major amounts of stupid to report. I think the large amounts of candles and tea have somehow evened me out.
On an aside I wore black slacks, black shoes and a black sweater. That’s right, I’ve gone emo. It won’t be long before I start writing Harry Potter goffik fanfiction.
Tonight I played some BioShock, Serious Sam HD and Overlord. All good games. But now it’s time to drink my Earl Grey and get some shut eye…
Random power outage is random.
Just had a strange outage a bit ago. Power came on one second later after dying. Currently verifying OverlordRaid 1
Uru goes Open Source
An Open Letter on Open Source ☺
The progress on our open source roadmap has been slow but has never stopped. And now what will look like a large step is really the result of numerous people, both inside and outside of Cyan Worlds, slowly cutting the rock into shape…
Today we are announcing that the sources for the MOULA client engine and development tools (CyanWorlds.com Engine) will be made available as open source. At the same time, MOSS which is a MOULA server replacement (written by a’moaca’ and cjkelly) will also be released. Both open source projects will be hosted on OpenUru.org.
The goal of the open source CyanWorlds.com Engine and the MOSS server is to provide a “playground” where new writers can learn their craft, and new maintainers can inspect it, and new cartographers can map it. The Cyan Worlds MOULA servers will continue to provide a (relatively) safe environment for the D’ni faithful to mingle and share.
The path forward from here seems fairly obvious and very exciting – with amazing parallels to the D’ni universe itself. As new writers arise with new books, the books are tested and documented – and books that are approved by some new kind of maintainers guild will (hopefully) find their way to the MOULA server where the public can enjoy new worlds once again.
These are exciting times, but not without risk. The tools and skills are new and need to be sharpened. There will be disagreements and strongly expressed opinions. And there will be decisions and mistakes. But keep in mind that the big picture is a lot like rebuilding a long dead civilization – and the forest of common goals far outnumber the few trees of differences. Let’s keep it civil. ☺
There have been numerous people cutting on the rock, and they’ve kept this project alive. We sincerely thank all of them for the wonderful help. Specifically there are a few people who went above and beyond – JWPlatt, a’moaca’, Mac_Fife, cjkelly, rarified and Chogon.
Thanks again for the continued support!
Shorah,
Rand
It looks like I may have to bring back my “I am Uru and so can you” title.
