Elegarth reacted to Westwind in A December Poll To Remember (not!)
I don't know if you can count Pierconium and That Called The Vlagh personas as the same, even though they are the same player.
If I recall correctly, Biyah was a NPO Senator once, and has been Minister of State Security here.
Chaucerin of Equilism was an NPO Senator and TWP Chief Justice.
I'm an 'Honorary Pacifican', former Croyance Province Military Minister, and former TWP (and TNP) Delegate. (Came within a few endos of the TEP Delegacy once)
TAO's TP nation was in the Croyance Province Military at that time.
I know I"m missing some.

I found it amusing how we are basically made up of original Western Pacificans, and NPOians xD

Elegarth got a reaction from Westwind in And we're back!
I totally feel you guys (WW and WInni). This latest upgrade / update of the software has been mainly suffering for me all around, from my admin tasks in other realms to my love of BB Code >_<

Elegarth reacted to Westwind in And we're back!
And a note to everyone, the editor in version 4.1.xx doesn't fully support bbcode. The editor is a WYSIWYG Rich Text Format instead of bbcode. IPB beleives bbcode is archaic and to be phased out everywhere. We'll see. There are plenty of people upset with that, but IPB has made it perfectly clear they have no intention of going back.
The skins/themes for this version are scalable: ie, the same theme works on desktop, tablet and mobile. And the editor is scalable along with it. You will have a smaller set of editor controls on it's toolbar with small screen devices.

Elegarth reacted to Tweedy in NationStates Downtime
** SERVER DOWNTIME AHEAD **
by [violet] » Mon Aug 29, 2016 6:20 pm
Hello all!We will be off the air for approximately 3 hours starting at 6pm PDT on August 30:
Click for your local time
During this time, the entire site will be unavailable, including the forums.
This scheduled maintenance is to upgrade and shift around a few servers. In particular, it is to let us move off a server that has experienced 13 hardware failures to date. Then we can bury it in the ground and salt the earth so that nothing can ever grow there, as a warning to others.
Due to operator incompetence, there may be some bugs and weirdness once we come back, which I will fix promptly. But hopefully not.
Thank you for your patience!

Elegarth reacted to Darkesia in Endotarting Advisory
Very little is secret here.
This was a public convo when it happened and remains public. Though, it's pretty darned old at this point. So archiving might be appropriate.
... Now, if only I can manage it without exploding something.

Elegarth got a reaction from Mediobogdum in Windows 10
Down here, Meteorology and Physics are both majors hosted by the School of Physics from the Faculty of Science (it works like that here, the University is divided into Faculties, each faculty has 1 or more schools, each schools hosts the careers or majors, and classes for other careers that need them).
If you are doing physics, you have to take 6 optional classes from a list of like 20 available, and if you select carefully those 6, you end up 1 class away from a major in Meteorology (and the same applies for the meteorologists). So is funny, they call it the 2x1 career combo. Not that you would get a job here thanks to those 2 particularly unemployed careers, but hey, you know, teaching physics at high school pays apparently (that't what about 70% of my class mates are doing now). I never graduated anyway, decided that having a family and a good paid job was better for me.
I started doing call center stuff at 18, first working as Customer Service for BetOnSports.com Have you guys heard about all the phone gambling business that was done abroad by Americans and how it took years for the IRS to pursue them? Well, about half of them had their Customer Service here and it gave employment to THOUSAND of young university guys who spoke good english and knew how to use a computer here.
I worked on BetOnSports for about 1 year, then another year in a different sportsbook, and then another. Attrition is high, but they used to pay well. When I was 21 I stopped working in those places and moved to work full time at my university as a professor's assistance and later on as teaching assistance, where I actually teach university level classes (mainly General Physics Lab 1, 2 and 3) for engineering and science students. Enjoyed it, I was very good to the point where I actually was assigned more groups than actually graduated guys. It helped the university: I was reliable, trustworthy and less expensive (I was paid as an undergrad assistant, not as a half time professor). I eventually made it to Coordinator Assistant for labs 1 and 3. By then I was 23/24 and was sharing my time between those clases; an assistance post at the Plasma Research Lab at the Nuclear, Molecular and Atomic Interactions Research Center; my Peruvian girlfriend; my elected position as General Accountant to the Student's Federation of my University; and a shit-load of drinking... So I was tired, exhausted, and decided to make a change after my GF dumped me: quit the Student's Fed, quit the university classes but 2, quit the research center, and find a night shift job as Customer Support for a website that still operates today: https://www.bingohall.ag/(formerly .com), more online gambling. Within 6 months I was Accounting Support; 6 months later, Payout Lead and 6 months more and I was accounting department manager, with 4 accountants under my supervision... they didn't liked being managed by an undergraduated physics student. I left that place in 2010 and moved to HP, where I did 3 years of HP Proliant Servers Support (running MS and Linux and ESX/ESXi) and then moved to my current post as SAP Enablement and Data Manager...
EDIT:
I'm not sure why I wrote all that but it seemed relevant. I'm only 32 but it seems I've lived a liftime already, can only admire the experience of some people here. I'm happy about it.

Elegarth got a reaction from Zogradia in Greetings From TransFlorida
I'm unsure about what the "Fair Play to them" means.
What I honestly think of transgender people? Nothing. I mean, they are people, why would I think different of them? I do think different of people who discriminates the LGBT community, I think those people are scum and do not deserve to share my planet.... But then again, I can't be passionate about stuff at times xD
