RPGWW

Well, I'm about to decend into the madness inducin gworld of college for the first time. For the moment I'm going to be livin gin a dorm at NC State, eating campus food, and browsing on the gloriously fast internet connection. I've got most of my living sorted out, but I had a question.

Cookware

State allows cooking devices in the room as long as they're less than 1800 watts. I have no particular desire ...

The Fuss Over OTC Plan B

I adore the Family Research Council. These are the people who named an article about gay marriage after the logical fallacy they themselves were committing.

Another gem. <p>-------------------------

Well, Dave Hopkins is in Trouble.

Aparently he needs to have an operation to remove most of his teeth, or the infections he gets in them (from seizure medication aparently?) are going to kill him painfully.

They're offering commisions to people, you can donate... Or even just spread the word around. Any and all things you can do for them are appreciated at this point, I think. <p>

I really don't know what to say. How can they possibly support this? What's next, banning people from asking their friends if they'd like a Hertz Donut? Because that's what this is. Are all practical jokes that involve deception now going to involve a ten years prison sentance? How about leading a country to a war involving far too many deaths over weapons of mass destruction that weren't even there? Isn't that intention to ...

So, recent forum issues have brought about discussion.



Short version:
RPGWW is not dead. But it's also not the same as it was four years ago. This is evident just by looking at the admin list. Gus is largely absent. Brian has developed some sort of strange busyness-apathy. Dia has Life now, and can't be expected to be online or participatory with terrible regularity. It is not a complete solution, but a proposition is ...

Har. This is like a syllabus!

Many learn kanji books have a similar approach to helping student of Japanese learn and remember kanji: mnemonics(SP? Might be a U in there...), stroke order, history, etc.

I find that knowing the history- the first forms, the evolutions, and the first denotations- help me the most and are often fascinating to know.

The difficulty will increase as I cover the Jouyou Kanji- a list of Chinese characters chosen ...

What is going on, seriously, man. I heard you were supposed to come to the area yesterday, and you're not here, and I haven't heard anything from you.

We never actually discussed when we'd be meeting up tomorrow (Saturday). As it stands, now I'm not sure when I'll be avaliable. I know that at the lastest, I can be ready to go around 3. Earlier if you call me and we work something out. So yeah. Call me when you see this please? That'd be keen. <p>

If you notice at all the ads on the top of the pages, it seems that ezBoard is converting to something called Yuku, whic h looks like a cross between ezBoard and MySpace.

According to the Wikipedia article, it looks like we're going to have to switch in late 2006.

So, what's our plan for this? <p>-----
