It's hitting the major US headlines:

We had a little flood around here back in 03 or 04. 15 inches of rain over 5 days, and we're in the old Black Swamp area (N-NW Ohio+NE Indiana), so it backed up pretty good, especially near the new spillway off our lake. Fortunately everything was pretty spread out, and only a few people were affected...but my friend was one of them. You'd be suprised how fast you can get everything out of a house. Fortunately a lot of sandbags and 6 water pumps did the trick and kept it dry. They now have a permanent 4 foot dike around their house, and enough sandbags on hand to cover the driveway

Good luck Scott. And just because NSDQ, it doesn't mean a temporary strategic withdrawl is a bad idea Better safe than swimming!

Scott, I'm not a prayer, but if I were, I'd ask for Moses to stop by Fargo. Good luck, and most importantly stay safe. I know you elected to stay for the good of the community, and I admire you for that. Empty towns don't build dikes.

What else should be expect from a Nightstalker! Stay safe and help keep others safe.

FatFrosty showed me how to use Mortscript which takes care of all that. It works awesome. The only slight glitch I have is changing roms.

For instance, when I copied how my start menu is set up and made a back up of it, a different rom might have or not have the programs you like so you can end up with a a few dead shortcuts in the programs folder and/or start menu if you dont have it set up correctly. A small price to pay though since now everytime I flash my I automatically have a large start menu with the programs I need in it.. Its spectacular. One of the best inventions since the wheel. lol

Check it out. Read Fatfrosty's quote.

I think I will have to read and play with that entire thread in order to get up to speed. I took a quick glance, to see if there were itemized instructions, and it looks scary as hell!

On a side note, I built my own rom with a manila I borrowed from mobilematt. I used the 1.6 kitchen (with some personal tweaks) the 21015 build (one of my favorites). along with a few custom apps that I converted from .cab to actual OEM's. I'm pretty pleased with myself today, other than being extremely tired. I Flashed at 1:30 AM and have been solid since... who knew. I wound up tweaking until 4:30 AM.

yeah i had to spend a couple days just reading and doing a lot of trial and error. im still not 100 percent with uc but im getting there and its more than worth it to figure out. makes reflashing everyday a lot less hectic.

I thought the same too! This is too much for me! lol, but its not bad at all. It looks a lot worse than it really is. I find adjusting xml's way tougher than what this was compromised of. If you need help PM me, I will do what I can do to show you how I set mine up.

Also, 21015 is MY favorite build too! I need to learn more about using the sys builds although if I try to cram anymore nerdiness (which isnt bad!) in my body I'm going to have to get a pocket protector and put a band aid in the middle of my glasses frame.
