Nope, we looked it up, and other people have had the same problem. Apparently on Vista some recent AVGs have a thing where it won't let you download anything (at all - not even text files >.< .

Well, yeah, I vanished for awhile again. Primarily due to busy stuff IRL, busy stuff roleplaying online, and...well, a serious lack of motivation.
But, there's also the fact that due to this computer being weird (more specifically, having had AVG installed on it... <_< ), I can't install Spring* on it. >.<
So, either I can get down to it, play the Philippines and have somebody else design my ships, or I can step back and let somebody take it over completely again.

Heh, thanks, I should have a "new" (mom's old) computer by tomorrow...
And I appreciate it, man, but the only background I have is housekeeping here at home.

Hm. I'm too late to send anything for the Phillipines, aren't I...
If so, a Fw 187 and He 112 will be present for publicity purposes only, and Presidente Garcia will [s]eat[/s] sack whoever was responsible for delaying the entry form.

2003 Hyundai Accent hatchback here. Economical and solid.
As for drinking, I've never had a single drop of anything. I don't want to, either, unless I'm with someone special...but recent events have me feeling I might wind up a lifelong celibate batchelor.

Maybe ALCO can avoid the engine problems that so helped to sink it in OTL here.
PAs are sweet rides...
Of course, I'd say go electric and GG1s.

IRL, the Philippines might actually be a place where WIG craft would seem to be useful. Faster than any boat, probably even going 'around', say, the south end of Luzon it's likely faster than most land routes...
Of course, the DAB-X will (almost) certainly remain Napkinwaffe.

The Philippines expresses its gratitude for all the submissions. The requirements are now closed, and the contenders will enter the evaulation phase.

I'm still around.
Just that life has been kicking me while I'm down a fair bit as of late - trying to get a job (and not so much as hearing back from anywhere), a friend I'm deeply worried about (shes in a very abusive realtionship), etc...so I may be spotty, but I'll be around.

, family (ie still-living-with-the-parents) stress, etc., etc., etc. I'll try to catch up asap.
