Shadow

Pic of the day: Contrary to popular belief, it isn't dark all day in Norway even in the darkest week of the year. Well, not at the south tip of Norway, where I live. Nor is the landscape necessarily covered with snow (and reindeer). Oh, and that part of the shadow is the corner of my shoulder bag, which is otherwise hidden. Really.
After my success with Darklands (yesterday) I went on to attack Master of Magic, the very game that inspired the name of my site, the Chaos Node. However, this game requires the use of a CD. And this requires CD drivers loaded in DOS, since the Win95 drivers for the CD is no longer recognized by the system for some reason. (This happened one day some months ago.) It might have helped to reinstall windows 95, but that would require the original CD, which for some reason was not with the computer when I opened the package. Then again, I explicitly told the people on the computer shop that this PC was to play Daggerfall on, and for that purpose it has worked quite well. In fact, it just might be the computer in the world that has played Daggerfall the most. Or certainly one of the top contenders for the title this year. :)
If you think that I run off on tangents in my diary, you may want to sample GabGabCamCam and a few of her daily updates. I feel noticeably better after I found her site. :)
Then again, she has a webcam, which I absolutely couldn't afford unless I win big in the lottery (not much chance of that since I don't play). Internet connection is around 1 Euro an hour here in Norway, that is well over US$1 for you transatlanteans. So that's why you can't see me typing all afternoon, which I am sure you would all love.
Oh, and in a few hours I intend to go away for a week of Christmas Holiday. After a few hours by train, I plan to spend the time with the Medicine Woman and her family. Those who need to know where I am, probably know already. But just in case, I intend to have my mobile phone on now and then. I may or may not be able to check my e-mail during this time, but I doubt I will be able to update my diary. (Supergirl already claims that I spend way too much time in front of the PC.) So until we (hopefully) meet again: Happy Christmas / Hanukha (sp?) / Yuletide / Winter Solfest / Epihodoc (Excuse for Partying In Honor Of Deity Of your Choice).
