The Summer of Our Discontent: Returning Content

The Summer of our Discontent Splashscreen
 
Well this took a lot longer than it should, mainly down to a misbehavin’ laptop keyboard, but I finally got the list of Returning Content researched and typed up.

If you’re low on donuts might I suggest you hold off on these until you’ve read the act 3 post for the Gil Deal – you may well thank me later.

The Summer of Our Discontent: Act 2 Rundown

The Summer of our Discontent Splashscreen
 
Time at last for the delayed Rundown post.

If you’ve been paying attention to some of my recent comments, or read this post you’ll have seen me mention issues with my laptop that ended up making it effectively unusable – deep joy.

It’s back up and running now though, so any errors are down to my bad typing and not a computeme malfunction !!

I’ll be cracking on to catch up with overdue posts and get this act covered before next Sunday when Act 3 starts.

I’m going to add a couple of pics to that tale of woe post shortly then get that Turbo Tappin’ ready, but here we are at last ( drumroll please ) …

Here’s a quick look at what’s new for Act 2.

Addicts Open Thread

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread!  So, let’s get the conversation going!  Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long.  This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!

Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING.  Just no Add me requests…those should go here.  We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons or current Tapped Out event) but for the most part, you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So, here is your Open Thread…..

act 2 posts coming soon

act 2 posts coming soon – eta tomorrow for the rundown and turbo

sorry all –

you might’ve seen me mention tech troubles, now the shift keys on my laptop have decided to strike so no caps. or special characters work – joy – and half the time a whole heap of the other keys won’t respond either.

can’t / won’t post a mess like this, not fair on the reader when the info is important

new keyboard is finally here, but it’s basically the whole top tray minus the touchpad so need to strip every screw, wire and board from this and do a full rebuild.

lack of sleep and a long appointment earlier today means it’ll have to wait, can’t risk damaging anything else when doing that.

UPDATE: woohoo, got the laptop rebuilt … but it’s gone 11pm here and I’m creased from bending over wrestling teeny screws and fiddly wires – need beer !!

The Rundown’s now up – yay

Here’s those pics I mentioned.

It isn’t a case of dropping in a new keyboard and connecting it, the keyboard is part of the top-tray …
New keyboard

That means everything inside the laptop needs dismantled and moved over – lovely …
Inside the laptop

Got it all undone, ready to rebuild – with a couple of easy bits already done …
Stripped down

All the fiddly stuff fitted at last …
Fiddly stuff fitted

Just the screen, battery and back left to fit …
Screen, Battery and Back to go

PS: Those ready-meal / TV dinner trays came in really handy so I didn’t mix up what screws went where or I might still be trying to put it back together !!

 

TTFN and enjoy your weekend
