Ok, so I'm not leaving quite yet
I panicked after all the "asap" bullshit (on my userpage rant), but it turns out that I simply can't be here for more than 180 days, or I will get a 3 year bar from coming back. As is, I am here now under illegal status, but I have tickets to leave on August 29th, and there should not be any consequences for overstaying this short. At least I didn't have to pay $2,400 for a next-day ticket, and I have some time to get ready, buy what I need, pack, say goodbye to everyone... (get some more sushi while I still can...)

I've researched internet providers out there, and it doesn't sound great, but it will be some kind of broadband, and it theoretically shouldn't take too long to set up, so I should have internet up in the first week of September, unless the older-than-my-mom phone cables aren't capable of carrying broadband, but I guess I'll have to find out once I get there.

P.S. I love how much everyone missed me already. ;) RoseOfKali 16:54, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I havend wished you luck yet for you fucked up unfair stuff. Hope everything will work out great for you :S -- F1Sig.png  † F1 ©  Talk  17:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. :) RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:14, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * As long as the wiki is accessible.. ;) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  17:36, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * What about GW and po... wait your a girl ...ny's -- F1Sig.png  † F1 ©   Talk  17:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * (ec) Hehe, I'm not having high hopes for the quality of the net, because just trying to reach them on the phone is an absolute nightmare, it connects like 10% of the time, even when the person is sitting there waiting for the call. So yeah, I guess GW and GW2 will probably have to wait until I come back... (not to say that GW2 will even come out before then O_o) But wiki should be fine.  Oh, and @TF1: I played the Japanese versions of Sexy Beach all the way through the expansion and unlocked all the outfits. ;) Don't make assumptions. :P (Oh, and the funnier part is that I got the ISOs from my husband-to-be. :D)  Also: "you're" and "nies." ;)  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Have fun in Ukraine! Don't join a gang, and wear clean underwear.  Additionally, this the towel that I used to defeat the great demon of Ur to gain my powers, it is for you, you will not need it hopefully, but always be prepared.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Roar.]]îğá†ħŕášħ  18:27, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * ^_^ I might use it to beat the crap out of my ISP until the internet works properly, I'll even wet it beforehand. :P RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * can't you buy a thingy that is used for wireless internet all over the world no matter were you are? You know with the satellite or something? Or is that to expansive? -- F1Sig.png  † F1 ©  Talk  12:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The what thingy? RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 16:34, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * You can buy a USB thing or somthing that will give you internet no matter where you are, You know... No? any one help me out how is it called? -- F1Sig.png  † F1 ©  Talk  16:50, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * This, but portable. It uses cellphone towers, rather than satellites, though. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  16:54, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I've had one of those from Verizon once... All I can say is that it's a piece of crap for heavy use (like GW).  It's made for business people to check Emails and communicate on the go sort of thing, they're rather slow for calling themselves "broadband" and get interrupted a lot, along with costing a fortune compared to a similar speed landline.  They also don't have an "unlimited" option of the ones that I looked at here, wouldn't surprise me if it's the same thing everywhere.  One GW update and there goes my use for the month.  O_o  And I doubt they have those in Ukraine, not in the town I'm going to, anyway.  I'll keep it in mind.  Do they even exist on GSM networks?  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I would only suggest those as an absolute last resort, because they are just shit even compared to like dial-up. And that's from "reliable" companies like AT&T.
 * Also, I wish you luck, if that is something you believe in. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * AT&T? Reliable? Lol... :P I have a nerd friend who made the mistake of getting an iPhone, he curses that thing day and night, though loves it on the rare occasions that it does work properly. ^_^ Not worth the extra money for the "iPhone data plan." But yeah, I agree with the "last resort" part on these things, I only wish that it was like TF1 suggested, worldwide, alas it is not. And thanks for the good wishes.  Somehow it helps emotionally to share this... "problem" with others and just to know that people wish you well.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:20, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Good luck back there in Ukraine, I sincerely hope you won't die from boredom there (I'm close to dying there once every 2 years, simply because there's nothing to do there. And I go for 3 weeks only...) &mdash; DarK  19:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thanks, that's my concern too... Maybe I'll take up teaching English or something, I'll see what I can do when I get there. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 03:50, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Custom Sig preview
So I have this suggestion, but no clue where to post it, so please move if you know better.

When you create a custom signature, there is no way to know what it will look like other than saving the changes and signing a page with it, or copying the sig code into another edit window and previewing it every time you make a change before saving the final result. While this works, it's not exactly "user friendly." Would it be possible to create a "Preview Custom Signature" button in the preferences page where you actually create your custom sig? I can't imagine this being very hard to do. RoseOfKali 05:30, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The way to develop it is indeed to do it on a "sandbox" page that you preview until you get it right, then copy the signature over to your preferences.
 * The change you suggest makes sense, but since it would be a software change (it can't be done in Javascript easily as it involves going to the server for parsing the wikicode), you need to address the suggestion to Wikia. The best avenues for this would be Special:Contact and w:Forum:Watercooler. -- ◄mendel► 20:07, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Maybe I'll get around to pursuing this once I'm in Ukraine. :P RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 03:47, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
