But First, An Apology...

patentdragonTo my associates in SRG, RAA and RAAM - sorry I missed the cross-guild hunt in Ultima Online last night. It wasn't because of connection trouble, or unexpected patching - although both were involved - it was because I got distracted in Star Trek Online, and lost all track of time. I could've caught up with you, but the patch session when I eventually logged on probably made sure I couldn't. I hope I didn't let you down too much, and it WON'T happen again.
There. Now I feel better. Back to business...
Outstanding Issues... Where's my AVENGERS BluRay refund? Did you actually receive the returned item? I have no idea - and I'm checking it right now.
Ooooohkay... My nephew keeps telling me I can't do things - "you're not allowed to (insert action)", "you've got to stop (insert action)" - maybe because he keeps getting told what he can and can't do, 'cause he's at school now. Hey, buddy, I earned the right to do whatever I choose to do - and live with the consequences sometimes, and maybe I need to assert those rights...
However, I am becoming more and more convinced that I should be exactly who I choose to be, while I still have the time. This was the plan a LOOOOONG time ago, but I never took any major steps along that path. I will give this some thought in the next few weeks and months, especially with Patent Saturday approaching, and perhaps another two-night indulgence like last year.
The Dragon Rises, pehaps...?
Meanwhile... Talking about Star Trek Online, I am now able to easily earn the 8000 Refined Dilithium a day, and more, on the road to earning enough "Dil" to convert into Zen for the Atrox Carrier purchase. 2500 Zen is worth about £16 (Did I mention that before? "Yes, you did." Oh, sorry...), and the going rate is about 160 Dil to 1 Zen, so 8000 Dil is therefore worth... *calculates*
...about £0.32.
+ 1440 Ore for "Strange New Worlds" Daily Exploration Mission - any sector with an explorable system on its border
+ 480 Ore for "Alpha Quadrant Mid-Term" Lore Quiz - Starfleet Academy, Sol System
+ 480 Ore for "Sh'mar - Distress Signal" - Eta Eridani
+ 480 Ore for "Traelus System - Satellite Repair" - Eta Eridani
+ 480 Ore for "Defence Contract" - Eta Eridani (which also earns Computer Core Fragments that are cashed in for access to the "Salvage Dispute" mission - 10 fragments gets you a shot at 1440 Dil)
+ 1100 Ore a time for successful Optional runs on the Special Task Force anti-Borg missions (Really requires access to the Elite STF chat channel - the best way to get a game that is most likely to work out right, for the guys on that channel really know how to deal with these things. Trust me.)
+ 2000 Ore a time for completing "Turn In Contraband" Duty Officer missions (one every 4 hours or so) - Deep Space 9
+ (480? 960?) Ore for "Mirror Universe Incursion" - Volunteer Queue, two hour-long slots per day - IF people will let you complete the Optional without rushing off and deploying the virus too quickly, allowing the Mirror ships to intevene before you can take them out...
*eeek* Simples.
