Title: Temporary Absence
Post by: zombienerd on May 29, 2015, 01:11:26 pm
Just a heads up that my laptop won't open Minecraft, and my desktop is OOC for the time being.  I have a new motherboard arriving Tuesday or Wednesday. 

I haven't quit :P  I'll be back, as soon as my dang computers cooperate.


Peace!

A cable ship.  It's what I do for work :P  We lay fiber optic cable on the ocean floor to connect the internet around the world.

I'm an electronics technician, and maintain all the electronics on board the ships.

We have satellite internet while at sea.  While in port, we have several 4g cell modems as well on top of our cable internet line.

Just a heads up, I got transferred to another ship, this one in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  We'll be getting underway in a few days and will be at sea for 2-4 weeks.  The connection is probably too slow to log on, but I will attempt it anyway to see how it goes.

We've got a full crew (35-40 people) sharing a 512kb connection, so yeah.. Probably not going to happen.  Worst case scenario I'll be gone for 8 weeks.

Keep on keeping on, and hope my town doesn't get griefed :P

Wow, hopefully most of the people onboard with you won't use computers much?
