Zini is absent

Anything related to PR, release planning and any other non-technical idea how to move the project forward should be discussed here.

Yes, Zini is the locus of this project, it would be severally wounded without him.

Back. Almost two weeks without internet are really no fun.

Here is what happened:

Two week ago on Saturday evening we had a power blackout in a decent sized part of the city. When the power came back 3 hours later, my internet connection did not.
I called my ISP next morning and they said they couldn't do anything about it, because it was weekend, but they would get to it early next week.
Fast forward to Wednesday. Nothing had happened. I called again and apparently they had forgotten me. Various attempts at fixing the problem didn't do anything, so they send a technician over next Monday (that is this week). Turns out my router finally gave up at the same moment when we had the power blackout. The guy promised me a new one no later than Wednesday.
And then I ran into problems with the mail service that was supposed to deliver the replacement. Took me two more days.

I would be hard pressed to remembering ever having seen such a cascade of failure.


Anyway, I am really tired at the moment. I will quickly go through the forum now and assume regular work on OpenMW (pull requests and such) tomorrow.


Edit: Seems a lot of stuff has piled up. I'll do my best not to miss anything, but you are waiting for something from me and I did not get back to you by Sunday, please sent me a PM.

I really wish you would have recorded that. I would love to hear it. I imagine it went like:

"hello?"
"ZINI!? ARE YOU DEAD!?"
"... no? who is this?"
"ARE YOU COMING BACK TO OPENMW!?"
"yes? my internet is currently down? seriously who is this?"
"oh! kthanksbye"*click*

I am sure had you yelled SPEARS!!! into the phone he would have known you you were.

What did you, look him up in the phone book or something?
