I think it a similar problem to you posting images normally. I just post the screenshots after I place them in my photos and upload the images here. Virtualbox can run so many OS’s that its hard to find whats wrong when you need to. And warning the story is filled with, gasp! Educational information. The Chief would be so proud.

Virtualbox can be buggy and when one like that happens unfortunately you have to do background checks on the processes to fix whats wrong. Which means that when you think you found whats loading incorrectly, you have to type wonderful command prompts(sarcasm) to make it work right.

I thought I'd start with it and this is something I tried a few months ago. I thought I'd run the disc image for installing Windows '98 so I could from the virtually installed Windows, run 90's software. The downloaded file was quote un quote correct to purpose. ... I could use help with this. ?

Enjoy the techno-babble...

Long story short, there is NOTHING really wrong with Win98, the problem is that VirtualBox's emulated BIOS doesn't fully match up with what Win98 expects a real ACPI BIOS to look like, so by default Win98 will not install ACPI support (and unfortunately, the older APM support doesn't handle CPU IDLE, so we get problems).

The solution is to FORCE ACPI support to be installed, by using the

/p j

command line switch when running the setup program that installs Win98.

This means that you can't just jam the virtual CD into the virtual CD drive and let 'autorun' take care of everything.

The best way to handle this is to simply move the Win98 install folder from the Windows 98 SE CD onto your virtual C: drive in VirtualBox, then change directory to that folder in a DOS prompt and run the setup program manually:

setup /p j

This will force ACPI power management (and the associated CPU IDLE functions) to be installed, and your Win98 virtual machine will consume no more system resources when running than a similar XP or Linux virtual machine.

John sent me an email today saying he's done voicing Devil's Blood. ..Not all the files are in the Google Drive folder, but I'm sure that will be changing soon. He started on this in Nov.

Guys, I wrote a journal entry on DA that no one saw and this was made weeks ago. I would really like hearing people's opinions about the AU expanding more. If I copied over the text from that journal entry, would any of you share thoughts about the proposal?

This is an exact copy and paste from the journal entry on DA, skipping out later journal content not related.
-----------------------------

Back in the dawn of '06 I took my first big stab at writing in prose format. It was also my first shot at writing a mystery. The story was named, "770 Danger in Numbers". The story became a one shot since I couldn't think of where to go from it but right on it's heels I started working on "Buck Rogers in the 26th Century".

770 has remained a back of the mind note for a long time because of the effort I gave it and how it acted like an odd stepping stone to the next project. It resurfaced in serious thought yesterday in thinking about the Iron and Steel-verse for coming stories. Not a remake of the old story but a story using a little of it's idea in the Iron and Steel-verse.

If you've been following the series you know that for canon ideas, MAD is what started the whole emotional naming bit. HAPPY has been around since the first story and many other groups have also been introduced.

JOY
FURY
RAGE
UNEASY
OKOTTE

UNEASY happened since a few people thought HAPPY was a spy agency and I wanted to say otherwise. HAPPY's role was never intended to look that way so the point was made UNEASY was that group. But very little has been done with it and it's been a mild thought brewing for over a year I tackle that aspect of the AU. Why not give them their own moment to shine in the series?

Already I have a bunch of ideas put together which have UNEASY given it's place with better definition to the AU. Part of that is borrowing ideas used in 770. I also have yet another group figured out for the story they'll be dealing with. This group is another invention original to the AU.

MEAN

I do not have it figured out yet if this story would be in prose format or comic format. I don't think as a comic it would be a short story and I would prefer not to interrupt working on Loaded Stone again anytime soon. If a comic, it would happen after Loaded Stone along with other stories planned in that format. Right now I'm also still working on Shattered which the other day hit being 90 pages long and it's still some off from being finished. That's not counting the formal proof checking it has yet to pass through.


So if I took on this story focused on UNEASY. Comic or prose format? Also what do you think of it even being pursued?

Thank you, but also do you have an opinion about expanding the AU the way I'm proposing it? ?



Later today I'll be uploading a piece of art. Chase in PM seemed to relay to me what is the likely cause of why the forum doesn't accept files from my machine. This is meant to test acceptance if it's possible. Also for the first time in the media section you'll be see an OC character from Shattered.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
