Excellent! I really feel this could be a great place again :)
5 dragon points? I think that means you get to peek up Simon's kilt.
A bit of a dust and a vacuum and Teh will be good as new.
Congrats on the offspring, the missus and I were following William's surgeries on Facebook practically in tears. The phrase "you won't know until you're a parent" really is a truism.
Looks like you're driving the old paraffin budgies now too. You should start a thread about that! #MoarThreads
Hallo. I'm still here, too. I just don't have much to say, and I know fuck all about electronics and Raspberry Pis and such, which is what a lot of the chat seems to be about.
Anyway, still doing stuff. Living in sunny/windy/rainy Auckland in New Zealand. Fixing networks by day, and generally doing that by night too (God damn those out-of-hours jobs). Weekends generally involve bemoaning the lack of whitewater within a four hour drive, and having to make do with sea kayakking or climbing a local volcano instead.
I met Xen, too, at least once. Lovely chap, he was. Right up until I refused a cup of tea. That was awkward.
Wait till you're a grandparent! Revenge!
Fixing networks in that kind of environment sounds like something even I could do.
On the other hand, if I were to do that then your competition in NZ would increase by, what, 200%? :-&
Oh dear.. what have you done, Steve? Tell all...
Thanks :)
And I actually had to google paraffin budgies - never heard that term before!
I heard it from a Britannia 767 pilot on a visit to the cockpit as we flew to Florida in 1998 and it's stayed with me. Before all the shenanigans.
Does anybody use the "Like" / thumbs up-down feature? I find myself drawn to it.
