Schlock Mercenary

| | So, uh, am I delusional or is there no comic for November 1st, 2009? I just get 404 errors looking for it, and there's nothing useful in any of the backup locations. | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |
| I just created a virtual machine and named it TAG (referring in particular to this strip). Then I realized that it was a ParaVM. *sigh...*
Edit: And it's Linux, so it uses ELF executables. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Howard wrote the following and posted it on the blog. I'm reposting here:
Last night we had some issues with the main Schlock Mercenary server, and the index page wasn’t being built correctly. In these sorts of circumstances it’s good for you to know where to go to get the latest comic. 1) Howard Tayler’s Twitter Feed — Often the first thing I’ll do when there’s an issue is tweet about it. Last night I used Twitter to mirror the strip. 2) Howard Tayler’s Facebook Page — This captures my tweets, so if you’re already on Facebook this is another good way to get the word. 3) The Schlocktroops LiveJournal Group 4) The Nightstar Schlock Forum 5) The Schlock Mercenary RSS Feed — last night’s site issues left the RSS feed undamaged, and images were served up just fine to 5,000 or more Schlockers who never knew there was a problem I’d tell you to bookmark this post for future reference, but if the site goes down, this page will vanish too. You’ll just have to bookmark the individual links. Maybe you can create a folder called “Schlock Emergency” or something. We usually don’t see much down-time, but when we do I like knowing that at least some of you will still be getting your fix. Maybe someday we”ll get proper redundancy with round-robin failovers for everything from DNS to WordPress, but that’s a more robust solution than my budget currently allows for. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Is the Schlock page coming as blank for anyone else? I tried to load it last night, and was only able to load the header. I figured there was just a bit more traffic for something...
Then, today, I went to check it again, and nothing's loading.
I want my webpage of happiness... | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment  |

| "and the every sweep comes up green."?
Heh.
I wish I had an iphone for some Schlock apps.
Oooh, there's a fb quiz... I didn't realise.
I got Elf. :D | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |
| ...that the "construct" that Lunesby gets put into is Schlock himself?
He's a CarboSilicate Amorph, which evolved from data storage devices (if I remember the backstory correctly.. I could be wrong)...
So maybe he figures out how to partition himself so the two of them don't mix.. then they find a construct to put her in outside the defense base where she's at?
Or maybe I'm way off base? | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Thank you, Howard! Also, thank you to all the various postal people who obviously conspired to bring both books to me on the one day where I have had nothing to do, and the weather was beautiful, thus being able to sit outside all afternoon in the sun reading them. :D
One question, if anyone can answer.
Looking at the blueprints for the PDCL, and it struck me how tall the corridors were, even for normal heighted humans, but especially for Ob'enn. Why? Possibly for compensation, but surely, at that height, it sacrifices having more functioning tiers?
I think that I might have had one or two more questions, but I've forgotten, bah. Later maybe.
Also, I discovered that it's great fun teaching my two-year old nephew to say "F'Sherl-Ganni", he didn't do too badly. :D Although I think he found Schlock easier to pronounce. XD
Also, I love my Legs sketch. <3 Thank you, again. :]

| So! I've just got my copy of Scrapyard, as well as my nifty keen book holder! (Absolutely LOVED the bonus story, too. Crunchy Chicks, heh.)
My question is... Will I be able to take the sketch-covering paper out of my sketch editions without risking ruining the sketches? I'd rather not risk damaging the books themselves with keeping the paper in there when I'm often pulling them in and out of the holder, but I'm awfully attached to my sketches, too.
Any advice will be helpful. | comments: 10 comments or Leave a comment  |
