A bit of everything....
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Game Status
So we lost Belle. As in an EA patch fubarred the file she was on and I had no backup of her. Never got her to the clone lab, either, so she's gone-gone. I started building the cemetery and will move her profile there just as soon as the page is up in full; for now she stays at the Mare Shed.

I went through and overhauled the entire stud barn today: all the boys, including the ones in the Sales Barn, got spiffy new DNA profiles to reflect their base beeds and any twists caused by color genes. The acquisition of a new stud had something to do with this update, but I had actually been planning it for some time. Pal O Mine looks to be going on the "to geld" listing as his profile indicates he is a carrier for HERDA. You can wiki it, but the cliff's notes version is that it's fatal if the horse gets a double dose of it. Since he's a wild Palomino, and I have a slew of registered creams running about, it's not that big of a deal to turn him into a pure show/lesson horse.

A few mares got mini-updates as well, but that barn will start it's overhaul in the next few days. Feel free to surf through and check out the changes. I hope they make the site easier to navigate.

I also updated the Affiliates linking; I wish stables would just keep the same url, but whatcha gonna do?

I have 1 dog, 1 human, and 1 lot left to package then I can start moving everyone into the new map...I may take the opportunity, though, to finally reinstall everything.

And I do mean everything: I have a new graphics card and my OS is in dire need of a reinstall so I might as well do it all at once. I'll breed those two outside mares, first, then do all that labor-intensive programming. No sense making their owners wait any longer (especially as I feel bad enough about all the delays so far).

2 days to get all my Mods updated, old CC out, new CC in, game patched to 1.57, browser patched, plugins patched, Origin and CAW reinstalled, and site overhaul in progress....1 am, now, and it's off to bed so I can get up at a decent hour and get some game time in before lunch.
