In jokes that only 9 people will understand are the best kind.  I'm doing great thanks, continuing to look sexy as fuck.

Hello

I havn't grown up at all, just moved to a even smaller village :D

Life busy, Work hard (and fun) and family booming. I keep an eye on here but then ADHD kicks in and I wonder off again. 

Hope you lot are well?

Now back to Project Zomboid!

Wib and I are still kicking around. Many more grey hairs than we used to have.

Is there a friendly mod about. I'd love to find out whether this is the real kweston.

Registered 2016 and not forgotten we are here so I've taken the chance. Had to switch to desktop mode to manage it, mind

Good Lord! Is it really Mr Haigh, former purveyor of fine computers and associated parts, crasher of cars, and all-round forum contributer? What are you up to?
From: Kweston 8 Feb 10:56
To: william (WILLIAMA) 75 of 138
It is indeed moi young sir, although I'm struggling to remember the car crash you're referring to ... there have been so many! Maybe you mean the bike crash that broke my back in three places :)

Still working at 62 (punishment from God for not sorting out a good pension much earlier than I did) and now the proud grandfather of 2. Still occasionally build when someone needs something really specific to a task, but it stopped making financial sense a very long time ago.

Vey fond memories of the Delphi forum us ex-PC Pro'ers nailed together, the wonderful members we had and the camaraderie we found :)

Can a permanent approval be done, otherwise this post-by-post is going to be a bit slow? Ta.

I've had a twiddle. My eyes aren't too good at finding stuff on a tiny phone screen so I'll log in on my laptop, later, if Kweston still can't post.

Hi, BTW ????

Ah yes, a bike crash. That was it. I'm fast approaching 8 years of retirement after Capgemini failed to persuade me to stay on. 

That Delphi forum was fun while it lasted. I often wonder what became of some of those names. Some of them landed here, others were probably not up to making a move. Clive for instance. I also occasionally (not often) recall the PC Pro forum which worked rather well as a plain text bulletin board. Life was a lot simpler when computer worries concerned the incantations to be placed in Autoexec.bat and Config.sys and why doesn't my Soundblaster blast any sound because I know I did it all right? Names are a bit vague now. I remember Ratty and Bully. But who was that Russian bloke whose engagement with the world of IT always seemed odd? 

Two grandchildren? Sounds good. Still working? Sounds not quite so good. But then, I had a chart of the number of weeks left until retirement next to my desk for 10 years (I kid you not). Or is it OK? I have a couple of old school friends one still working at 67 and the other only semi-retired. But they enjoy what they do so I suppose it's different.

I love that Yve can show up for the first time in ...months? years? and just crack right on with modding the place. I was too slow! 90% of the mod alert requests turn out to be "do you want to approve this low effort spam? It's not even funny!" which is a disappointment.

Is there more to allowing somebody to post regularly than allowing their current post? Kweston's post was awaiting approval then Yve approved it, but that didn't allow his next one.

None of the mod stuff works on the mobile site, which is frustrating. I tried taking him out of the new user group but I've forgotten what they all mean. There's checkboxes for all the permissions and posts needing approval isn't checked in any folder.
