  1. Thanks to a new upload by "lemonhead" and "Digitoxin", I could finally complete my personal floppy disk collection of the 1987 game "Larry Leisure Suit" for the IBM-PC, Version 1.0.

    This game was copy protected, so it's always neat to have all kinds of disk image formats available. I just dumped and added my own TeleDisk image. It works!

    If you're curious: Here's Digitoxin's collection of "Sierra On-Line" titles:

    This. Is. AWESOME! Enjoy! 😉

    So, I'm refilling an application to get funds from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, because, you know, I had cancer.

    Last year, when they asked about my doctor's email address, I typed [email protected] in that field. I'm pretty sure it was a *mandatory* field.

    Now, they keep a database of the doctors so that new patients with the same doctor don't have to retype the information.

    I figured they'd find the real email address, and clean up my nonsense.

    Haha... silly me.

    This year, I put in my application, only to find [email protected] in the email field.

    :headache:

    Oh, also his Fax number is 111-111-1111. This is also my doing.

    :catjam:

  4. Important question for #MastoDaoine - which hashtag are we using?

    #LateLateToyShow?
    #TheLateLateToyShow?
    #LLS?
    Other?

    Anyway, I just hope #StormDarragh doesn't ruin it for any little ones in the wesht, with power cuts. 🤞🏼

  5. Kill me! Kill me now!

    (Yea, I know I've said that already. Just kill me again, okay?)

    The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society emailed me, reminding me that I need to get the diagnosis form completed. They attached the form to their email.

    :headache:

    Those bozos still got the fax number wrong. 111-111-1111 is bullshit that I entered to get past the stupid application software. They also got the zip wrong. This is *my* zip. Not the of the doctor's office in Baltimore. I cannot have entered that number as my doctor's zip, since my doctor's address was taken from a database. (It just lacked a fax number.)

    (If you wonder why we're in this situation... that's because the way they operate, the fund to which I applied has limited money, and it is much more important to *GET IN* and then fix whatever issues there may be, than try to have everything perfect right off the bat. I did not know my doctor's fax number, so I entered 111-111-1111 to get my application in. It took me a few days to get the fax number, during that time the funds could have evaporated, and I could have been out of luck.

    I called to fix the fax number... which they apparently did. My doctor has the form now. However, the fix they performed just changed which number they send the fax to, and not the field in the form.

    :why: )
