Mystery caller unmasked
Well, I found out who left me the startling message about a KMDF 1.7 installation failure on Brazilian Windows 2000 on my instant messaging. It was impish Ilias, who noticed the web interface for Messenger and wanted to see if it worked. The error was a red herring, he was just trying to pique my interest in the event I was too busy to answer a random inquiry.
Weekend intervening, my blood pressure and adrenaline levels are back to normal- but I sure was a lot more curmudgeonly, combative and downright irascible in Friday's posts than usual. Not to mention somewhat irrational- who knows, I do tend to paranoia when I get the right combination of environmental stresses [nothing new there- by mid-50's you may not have seen everything, but you've usually seen a lot].
So, all is well with 1.7 so far- no new issues...
Oh, and I FINALLY downed those two scarabs [trivial, once I got some rest], and went on to finish the campaign on Normal. Went back and grabbed the Iron skull [my daughter found it herself, so already knew where to look], hooked up with a few of the old Rogue Hunters [Wolf's Dragoon, Rebel Hound, and I think WhiteTiger4311 even joined in] and got a few XBL achievements [plenty of room to go there, though]. I thought I'd nail the achievement for accessing all the terminals on the Ark, but apparently I missed one. I'll have to try that level again, sometime. Adds some nice depth to the storyline, though.
