OpenRPG Problems

OpenRPG is to me a computer program very central and important in my life; it acts as a meeting place for me and my friends in which we also play various roleplaying games (such as Dungeons and Dragons 4th Ed, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, or BESM 2nd Edition Revised or 3rd Ed.) and you could only imagine my horror when the program suddenly broke down.

"What!?" I thought to myself, "What manner of dark sorcery is this!" I kind of caught myself on that one, and felt kind of stupid for have thought something as dorky as that.

I tried fixing it, uninstalling and reinstalling like a madman. Python, Wxpython, OpenRPG. Over and over. I then hard-deleted all folders, removed all registry entries in Windows XP and then reinstalled all software necessary and a very old version of OpenRPG (1.7.1) and thankfully, this seemed to work. Whew. Thank Gawd.

I'm going to attempt an update later, but I'm just glad I got this old version to work for now. Not sure what I would've done if it had not worked.

Setting up shop.

Look out! Pow! Whap! Kapowwie! Tunk!

Just setting up my blog for use. My school courses do not actually start until about mid august. As for what courses I'm currently going to study, these are the ones I got into:

  • Engelska B (Advanced English)
  • Japanese A (Japanese for beginners)
  • Programmering A (Programming for beginners)
While I do feel confident in my knowledge of English grammar and such, I am a bit nervous about learning a while new language [Japanese]; though I know what it sounds like and I am quite interested in it so I don't think actually learning it will be a problem.
As for programming - it's an introductionary course in my case, I need to do this course which only includes know-how in programming in PHP to be able to apply for the advanced courses so I can learn C++ and such programming languages as I aim to get into the Gaming industry sometime far into the future.

I'm also quite curious about my new teachers, my pending classmates and such... Though, I've gone to courses in the school these new courses are in, so I think I have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

Oh, and for those who are curious - I will be going to Åsö Komvux, in Stockholm.
