Updates: A little bit of this … a little bit of that


Just a few updates/reminders!

Sylum Security:  Yahoo shut down Yahoo Groups last month.  If you have not moved to the new group – do so now.  Just because you have the password now, doesn’t mean the password will not change.  You will have to make a groups.io account though you can use Facebook or Google to sign in.

Sylum Blog: We’re working on a new theme for the main blog.  This will take some time, but if you there are moments you can’t access the site, it’s likely us fiddling with things or wordpress is being a pain.

Discord: Wait we have a Discord?  Yes we do – it was set up a while back for a chat program for the group.  Last I looked no one really hasn’t posted on it.  Is people still interested?  I’ve set up a poll – please take the time to answer.  I really need feedback on this, and not just a shrug.

National Bird Day

We have a bird feeder out back, and every morning watch the little guys try to stack 20 of them onto it.  We also have an owl living somewhere nearby, and can totally understand Warrick’s growling over the HOOT!

Do you have favorite bird watching spots?  Bird Feeders in your yard or patio?

Sylum Inspiration: James Malone

Tallikut: Head of Security

 

James Malone was the last of the family line that took care of Caine Manor. Unfortunately with the economic hardships, the Manor had gone into disarray.

Having never married, and no heir, he decided to sell the Manor and make a move to the United States. It was during this time he met Timothy Quinn, who was interested in buying the property.

Having recognized the young man from a drawing that graced the Manor walls, he demanded an explanation They sat by the fireplace drinking scotch, and passing stories of Ireland.

Timothy bought the Manor, and arranged to have it repaired and updated. He offered Malone a chance to stay as Keeper, but he wanted a new life.

He requested Timothy Turn him.

Coffee House Friday: Advent Edition

It’s the New Year!  Though the troubles from 2020 are still hanging on, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

So check in time.

Let us know what’s going on.

Hanging on in there?  Looking towards a better year? Or still ranting at Favreau for the ending of Mandalorian (oh wait that’s me).

In Memoriam

We’re all likely very happy to see 2020 slide away into history.

This is the time we take to lift a glass and toast those we have lost.   We have lost too many this year, not just those names we all know, but so many we don’t.

So please take this moment to say a prayer, take a moment, light a candle for all those we’ve lost in 2020.
