Sleep is Just a Cheap Caffeine Substitute

You can access the BBS by using your telnet client and visiting telnet://bbs.shadowscope.com or telnet://shadowscope.noip.us If you want an EASY way to get to it from your web browser you can access it from this blog or […] →Read more
Apparently my web provider decided to restore something from backup and when they did it messed up my domain forwarding that I set up in the zone editor. When I asked them to restore all they did was add a 301 forwarding rule, which pretty much does nothing unless you are accessing stuff with a […] →Read more
Seems like the only time I post at all the last couple of years is when I’ve updated the site. I’ve temporarily changed from the comic based theme here to retrogeek. Not sure if I like this or not but as most of my stuff the last couple of years has to do with the […] →Read more
Had a few minutes of downtime earlier. Just finished adding another network drive as I was running out of space for my Plex server. I now have 11 terabytes of network space (4 of that is free). Should be good for another couple of years. Going to take the BBS down again later this evening […] →Read more
Power went out in the storms last night briefly. When it came back on apparently my mesh network didn’t start operating again. I was able to get out but apparently the BBS was unavailable. Didn’t realize that until this morning. I’ve reset it and everything should be good to go now. →Read more

The BBS and Mailer will be down for just a little bit while I make a backup and upgrade to the latest alpha version of Mystic A45. Shouldn’t take long as it’s just a straight xcopy to another PC where I sync everything to a dropbox folder. →Read more

I needed it earlier this week and his site was temporarily down so I’ve decided to mirror it here. Everything below is courtesy of him: Written by maskreet 12/3/2014(updated 1/19/2018; newest DOSBox SVN) First of all, if […] →Read more
Added a bunch of lit packs today as well as several hundred old BBS mods and art packs. Still need to separate the art packs into different sections at some point. Also have added email validation. Expect that the next time you log in. If you don’t have a valid email address, update it from […] →Read more
