Hm... is the glitch consistent, or is it a one time thing? Is your computer's clock set correctly? It looks like your computer's clock might be set to 1/1/2003.

Huh?... Looks at the clock on my laptop...

What the!?... it says

Wendsday, January 1, 2003

Adjust time and reboot and yet it still says...

Wendsday, January 1, 2003

Uh-oh... I sense something is definitelly wrong with my laptop... what could it be?... "goes into Panic Mode"

...and I still haven't recovered my data yet and Data Recovery guy says to come back on friday... crosses finger... please let my data be recovered... please.

Goes back to work...

Well hey, at least it got the day right! You should think yourself lucky!

As to the clock - dead CMOS battery, perhaps? On a regular machine that powers (amongst other things) the system clock. Normally I'd expect that to lose things like hardware settings as well, but maybe laptops don't need to store such things 'cause the hardware can't be changed?

Oh man... This thread is now turning into a Laptop Troubleshooting thread.

Anyway, my laptop is almost three years old and I got it from a pawnshop (The warranty sticker is barely visible but miraculously intact so I can safely assume that my laptop is definitelly older than three years old and hasn't been opened yet... and I don't have any plan on doing so) and I think what Jake said is the most likely cause why my clock settings keep reverting back to January 1, 2003.

Tomorrow... I'll bring my good old laptop (which never failed me...until now) for a check-up.

I guess I should turn it off now and go to sleep... and focus on NaNoRenO.

Once again, thanks for the tip...

Man!... I definitelly have a very rough week.

Goes... to sleep.

ummm... this seems quite anticlimactic, but has NaNoRenO started? I guess I misunderstood how the death clock works... maybe? Or maybe this computer is weird. The death clock says
The Death Clock: NaNoRenO ends when April begins.
NaNoRenO begins when less than 31 days remain on the clock
...

At the time of writing, there still a few hours *and* 31 days left until it ends... so it's more than 31 days, so it hasn't begun yet, I think. But it should start in... 2 hours and 22 minutes? Woop!

I guess it is time-zone dependant. According to my comp there are almost nine hours left, which will put it at 11:00 PM my time

Since I was too lazy to compensate for the DST start, it will actually reach 31 days about an hour early.

I have 6 and a half hours to go. If I go climbing tonight, which I most likely will, I'll still get home with plenty of time to get started right on the button for my time zone.

Which isn't technically necessary, but hey, at least I have a plan!

Hi, I'm new to the forums and just discovered Ren'py about a week ago. The idea of finishing a project like this in a week sounds challenging, so I'll throw my hat in the ring.

Welcome to the forms. Feel free to ask for any help that you need- and you have a month- so there's no need to try and finish in one week ^_^;;;

Nomad · #147 Post by **Nomad** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 6:38 pm

OK, thanks. ^_^

My bad, the above must've been a mistype. Meant to put a month.

Ohboy.

It looks like I might be joining you for this year's wild ride!

...But only sortof. I'm going for what would have been a IntRenAiMo project if IntRenAiMo was happening this year. Finishing off an old ren'ai game that got part-written and never finished.

SunKitten will be joining me again as the character artist - you saw her work two years ago in When I Rule The World

Her work will be fully NaNoRenO-style: she's creating it all from scratch this month! I'm going to be continuing a script that's already part-written, though, so I can't really count myself as fully in NaNoRenO. But it'll be the impetus for me to actually finish a game, which is something I've conspicuously failed to do without the NaNo Deadline Power.

So, whether you count me as a proper participant or not, I'm going to be pushing myself towards a March 31st release with the rest of you. And I'll be totally cheering for those of you who're doing the full NaNoRenO challenge!

Welcome and good luck to Nomad ^^
