FWIW, M has been visiting our chat room with some regularity, offering help and advice for puzzles. We never would have solved the Path to What is Mine/Minecraft server IP address mystery without his hand-holding.
All the more reason to join us in Chat... plus, we genuinely had a lot of laughs tonight!

Is anyone else having troubles getting past the captcha authorization?

did you figure it out? maybe a cookie is blocked, and it won't let you proceed without it? i've run into that issue somewhat often, as my default setting is to always block cookies.

I got it. I think the server was just being a bit wonky.

Luckyshirt visited the chat today. Nothing critical to the story, but it was a lot of fun so I pastebinned it anyway. It's long, but I thought I'd share it here. pastebin.com/hBVzsmbk

I'm so glad I was able to be there for part of this. It made me so happy to see him there interacting and joking with us as himself, and not as the inscrutable M for once.
SEVEN YEARS, YOU GUYS. When it's all over, FTS will easily have been my longest relationship.

OK guys, I'm no computer hardware schmuck and I can google as good as most but I am at a loss to figure out what is up with my desktop.
So, I'm going to try to stay connected with my laptop as much as possible until I am back up and running. However, this means the logs may be incomplete and they will not be as timely as I will have to manually upload them.

ack! enaxor pinged out right when i logged in, and there's no jed! the laptop has been doing pretty dang good at keeping us running (thanks again, jed!), but i think we were just spoiled with the desktop setup before that went haywire. anyway, i'm all by myself in this room so i figured i'd post up here, since we haven't had a new post in a while anyway. i know everyone's still lurking around, so hi!

Well that's not good. I've actually had the desktop up and running for quite some time now. But there just hasn't been much to log. However we had a huge thunderstorm tonight and I'm at work. I just checked all the various things that should be connected to wifi and they're all no go. So, this could be as simple as a router or modem that's offline, or as catastrophic as many many devices getting the crap surged out of them. We'll see when I get home.
Edit: everything on the hard wired ethernet chain fried - modem, router, switch, extender and an aging macmini server that was still going strong 9 years after production. RIP.
I think, based on the worst of the blackening and melted stuff is that it came in through the coax line to the modem because everything is surge protected on the power side.
My wife said the dog and kids were terrified. At the length and intensity. At least there was no fire. So costly or not, at least we're only talking about dollars.

you're KIDDING! you're not kidding i'm glad everyone is safe, even if very understandably scared. i'm really sorry to hear about it all. that. sucks. i wish i had an easy solution for that! and i apologize for forgetting the status of where the desktop was at. key word was. ugh, what an unexpected terrible thing to happen. would the cable company by chance have any liability in the situation? i doubt it, but maybe? RIP long and strong running server. hit me up if there's anything i could possibly help with, my friend.

I am especially sad that the dog and kids were so upset, and doubly glad that no worse damage or injury resulted. Less frighteningly, the power cord for my work laptop gave up the ghost this week too - I had to cancel work, so no bah bah bah on Wednesday - but luckily was replaced this evening in advance of a very busy night. Could have been a lot worse (especially given Jed's alarming tale). Electronics! AMIRITE? Miss everybody! I'll check in over the holiday weekend in case some of you pop in to chat! xoxox
