A Fix That I Did Not Like
Sometimes you will find a problem and not be able to work out the actual cause of the problem. No matter how much you debug or trawl through code and documentation you cannot find a reason for a bug.
A Lost Poem That I Preserved
A long time ago there was a thread asking what if felt like to be a survivor. A lot of people gave their answers, all of them heartfelt, all of them painful. But there was one answer that really struck me, as it struck others.
The Wyvern Sting of Guilt
The Troupe makes their way through the Cloakwood led by Jaheira. Seeking out the Shadow Druid’s grove, they face the many perils the wood decides to throw at them. Eventually they find a cave that may be the lair of a wyvern, or worse.
Rice Fields of Vang Vieng

The Perils of the Cloakwood
The Troupe approach the Shadow Druid’s Grove and meet the morally ambiguous Eldoth, seeking to rescue his lover Skie from Baldur’s Gate. Aegon goes along with his plan for now, hoping his knowledge of the Cloakwood will be useful.

From the outside, our hotel in Vang Vieng looked promising – almost like a five star hotel. But it turned out to be the worst stay of our entire trip through Southeast Asia. It’s a warning that you need to be careful when picking a hotel.
