On the fate of Dusk

Two Moons MUSH geeking, of interest primarily to solarbird, flashfire, janne, and me...

( What should we do with Dusk? )

Calling Windows geeks!

Need a bit of help with a Windows 98 DNS problem. mamishka needs to flush the DNS cache on her system, and we have determined that rebooting the box does not seem to actually do it. I know that on XP, I can type "ipconfig /flushdns" to do this, but Meems has no such command on her Win98 box.

(For context, we ran into this problem tonight, as a result of lyonesse having reset DNS settings on her site, which hosts Mimi's sunandmoonmurals.com domain. Meems discovered tonight that her box was not letting her connect to sunandmoonmurals.com in her browser, though she was able to get to www.sunandmoonmurals.com. I had the same behavior on my system, until I did "ipconfig /flushdns".)

So how can we kick Mimi's DNS cache in the head with minimum effort? Thanks in advance for cluage!

Oh MY!

So, there's this new article on Russell Crowe in GQ. I'd already heard about this courtesy of russell_daily, where a couple of pics from said article had been posted, but I hadn't actually glanced at the text.

However, I just saw a thread up on OKP Kenora about the article--and my eyes damn near popped out of my head when I read that Russell has been collaborating with Alan Doyle on writing a song. In other words, my favorite actor has collaborated with my favorite singer on a SONG.

Russell is not as good a lyricist as Alan--but there are certain TOFOG songs that do reach out and grab me, like "Wendy" or "Painted Veil" or "Judas Cart". His style is definitely rougher than Alan's. But there is a certain kind of rough grace to his lyrics for me. The thought of The Doyle coming in on a song with him, though--WOW. I mean, WOW. I think the only thing that would make me swoon harder is if they actually sing something together. :D I've been fantasizing about them singing together ever since I learned that Russell was a GBS fan and heard TOFOG do a GBS song in concert... this makes me wonder whether it might actually happen someday!
