NRaas industries had to find a new home when the current site owner decided it was time to stop hosting NRaas. So the mods have moved to a new wiki http://nraas.wikispaces.com
One advantage will be the http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Update+History update page for the mods. You can subscribe to that and know when there have been updates.

From the words of Roy - The IT Crowd
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
I've been getting increasingly frustrated after installing Pets. AFT save didn't give me any problems but WAG froze time and time again. Then the new save for Sammy also froze during the night.
The worst day of all - trying to load WAG. First try, Disc verification fail. Have to try again. Finally loaded save, when I went to save I had an error 12. What I should have done is restart, what I did was quit to menu and reload. That's when I had a crash to desktop. Next try, Disc verification fail. I think I played all of 5 minutes that night.
Add to this the general frustration of having although the blogs have more readers than ever, my blogs are also getting fewer comments.
While installing Skyrim on the virtual PC on this Mac, I was doing heaps of other updates and restarted both the virtual PC and finally did a few Mac updates and restarted it.
Low and behold, WAG is working. It's gone nearly a full day with no freezing and no problems saving (I'm saving ever few Sim hours.)
I don't tend to restart the Mac much. The manual says just put it to sleep when not in use and that's what I do. But if I start having problems again, I think turning it off and on again is now *way* up on my to try list.
And if you've never watched the IT Crowd, just do it. Too funny for words.

Collection Folders for Dummies
How nice that we have collection folders that we can create and edit to make finding our favorite items easily. Sounds great, right?! Just one problem? I can't figure out how to save an item into a custom folder. I have a nice empty folder I named, 'Bathroom', for, you know, bathroom stuffs, decor, etc. I'm losing what little mind I have left trying to figure out how to save a blasted decor item into the folder.
Help me, Obi Wan, you're my only hope.

Don't Fear the Reaper
Ollie and Shannon were devastated when Death came for Mr. Pickles. Ollie was disgusted with Shannon's tearful display. "Get a grip, woman!" Since it was obvious that Shannon wasn't going to man up and do something about Mr. Pickles demise, Ollie did what only a real man could do.
"Take that, Foul Creature! Give me back my sweetums, Mr. Pickles!"
To Ollie's shock and horror (and delight?), Death was oddly thrilled by the beating. Soft fluffy feathers flying around Death along with the cooing of Oliver made him fiendishly happy. Not able to stop himself, Ollie continued his assault.
Shannon listened to the sounds in the hallway and thought about Ollie's "performance anxiety." "Suddenly, everything makes sense!"

I am in mourning - Sims 2 site is gone
I think it actually happened some time ago but I wasn't paying attention. I am mourning for 2 things. The first is that I didn't get a chance to copy some of my material from the forums for reposting to the little Sims 2 blog I have. Damn. Nor do I have a spare copy of my Sims 2 bachelor challenge story.
But the main thing I mourn is that means that Candi's Uglacy is no more. That uglacy was the first legacy story I ever read and one of the funniest Sims stories around. Last time I had checked, Candi was still working on a Apocalypse challenge which was done in the same style. And it's all gone.

Cool new blogger feature
One of the updates to blogger is adding a 'lightbox' facility to all blogs. Basically, if you click a single image in a blog post, you get to scroll around all the images in that post in a separate window at a larger size. A nice way to concentrate on the images and easy to use.
Some of the recent changes to the blog interface are good, a few are annoying. Like some of the advanced settings aren't available - you have to go to the old interface to choose if you want people to type in the word verification or not. But this one is cool in my books.
