Hello hello. Apologies for the silence and no follow-up post after House of Sounds 34, I have been offline because of (you might have guessed it) power issues. Our fantastic*, amazing*, gold standard level* (citation needed for what has an astetisk) national power company introduced another round of loadshedding recently. It went into effect in our area last Wednesday, power goes around 10am and returns just before 6pm from what I noticed on the day up to Friday. Then as if that wasn't lousy enough, on Saturday morning we woke up to find no power. Naturally I thought "Oh, a super early power cut. Could mean power will be back around lunchtime, okay." But lunchtime came and went, no power. 6pm came and went, no power. Sunday morning rolled in and still nothing. What's the deal? We would find out later in the day that cables had been stolen early Saturday morning. The last time cable theft happened here was around this time LAST YEAR. Things became slightly better ever since (although we still had on and off loadshedding rounds to worry about). So the residents who have been affected by this latest theft have to pay up $35 (USD) to buy new cables and then notify the power company so they can send a team over to install the cables. And I bet you more cables will be stolen sooner or later and we'll be back to this square one. It's Thursday morning as I am typing this on my phone and it is only yesterday when we found out from one resident who has some connections in the power company that we were one of two residents who have paid so far. I don't know if the rest paid up later on yesterday or even today so far. Still waiting, maybe power will be back tomorrow or this weekend or possibly next week, who knows. 

I will update you when the matter has been sorted but in the meantime please understand and be patient.

It's been a busy couple of weeks here, so I hope you can excuse the silence. Plus we didn't have any data until this past weekend. Managed to buy 15GB, if used properly I think that can cover us for at the next least 2 weeks. Let's see how that goes, eh? Despite things getting busy, I hope to make the most of the pockets of free time that I get.  Walkthrough Update for Pokemon Liquid Crystal It is FINALLY done. Took longer than it should have because the original walkthrough had a number of errors and the game itself has its own list of issues so I had to contact the creator. There are a few questions that I've sent to him concerning some events and I am still waiting to hear back from him. In the meantime... Walkthrough Update for Pokemon Azure Horizons Hacksrepairman  released another fix for the game in March of this year but I was busy with other walkthroughs at the time. Now that I'm done with Liquid Crystal , I can get to work on this. Fortunately it is a comp
