Good too see all of you!
And hey, jpeg's still alive
So you're throwing a huge party, Kevin?
I know I'm around here all the time.. .still my live's been changing just as constantly as yours... finished that diploma in biology, now
getting a phd in computer science... and just rented a real life vintage 1780s three story, half high cellar* cottage .
Guess marriage is a bit off, me being just exactly half as old as the Doc this year
So long,
->Tyberius Prime
Does include mice - have to feed them first before they trigger the traps, though, poor little starved things.
Well, I'm not one of the oldies here, but I'll pop in and say Hi
I'm getting married this fall, and am half as old as Doc this year as well
Started working on my MS in computer science a couple years ago, but work took priority, so it's on hold for now. But work is fun, we have a major part is the technology demonstrations at the ITS World Congress this fall. Also get to work on some autonomous vehicle systems which are always fun. Of course I have to put my time in on the less interesting stuff too, but all in all, it keeps me out of trouble and pays the bills

I'm glad to hear that C:\. Too often you hear about how sucky married life is and how depressing everything gets after you have been married for awhile. It's great to hear there are people who enjoy it and are happy about it. After all, that's the way it's supposed to be, right?
[edit: heh, just noticed my "status" went from 'Paranoid' to 'Maniac' between these last two posts
I didn't think it would ever change with how little I post.

Thought I would pop my head in here, and look at all the old names in this thread! Wow!
I've been laying low in these parts since the infamous client issue. I'm still doing some stuff on the side, but primary working in my first love, network engineering.
I contributed to a book on Exchange due out on June 1st.
The wife and I will be married 8 years in August, with our first grandchild due in July. And I'm only 41! Figure that one out!
I crawl back here when I'm looking for a quality forum to come to with my burning questions. I'm the most curious what the Doc has been up to. I should run a search on his name. I bet the last post he made was years ago.
[edit]Oh.. Seeing that there are many more pages here, I'm all caught up! This really has been a good forum lurking. I miss the vibe of you all. For anyone wondering, I dropped a large number of projects, only have one more year of college left, and am slowly making a big portfolio type thing over at rgbk.org [/edit]
Hi all, and esp hi Doc
Been ages, glad to hear all is well!
And marriages & kids all over the place, congrats all!
I guess we all grow up, at least counting in years
I'm still not married at 43 yrs, but me and the lady are well into our 19th year together and 3 kids so not much difference from the m-word
Workwise I'm still in the online poker biz running a lab where we do secret, cool & new stuff.
Hobbywise almost no coding anymore which I got a rude reminder on when our simracing team asked for help on their new result tracking site...
I was asked to help with some PHP OOP code for database management and I thought that it would be a piece of cake since I still have my code generator. It turned out it needed some tweaking to work properly and boy I did realize that you forget a LOT in 4 years
I really need to get my site up again, still got the domain but lost the hosting a while ago...
Oh well, all in good time.
B well all 'til the next time!

and yet another old timer shows his face here
hey all .. so nice to see many old inmates .. as for me well .. married (#2) .. first child .. our little girl is now 6 weeks old and lovely! .. not doing programming/web design as much any more but I'm an Engineer for an interior design firm in SoCal .. LOVE MY JOB .. life is just great for me and my wife right now
Doc .. your in SD now?
I'll try and frequent a little more often .. but tis good to see this place .. good times here
'tis i peeking in .. greetings and congratulations to the married, almost married, working, unemployed, new parents and all the familiar faces. wow, the joy passing through here is a balm for the spirit. i know if i list names i'll leave someone out. thanks for sharing all those pics!
going back to school was fun - i discovered this place not sure my memory is ready to finish a degree, though i heartily recommend it for those considering the rigors of learning how to learn again . for myself i've had a few jobs, no more preschool teaching, but mostly small creative projects and caring for the elderly.
time online mostly spent playing games. i'm not ready to take up quilting, but i do find strategy games are good for the mind.
hi doc, so glad you've kept this place alive!
got a new comp as a gift. anyone know how to retrieve an icq passwd? who remembers such things when you use the same comp for a long time? going berserk trying to recall the passwds. which remind me of something one of my instructors said. i have no problem with memory storage, only retrieval
You know, it just occurred to me after reading all these posts about new things happening in peoples lives... I don't think I mentioned that I recently started a new job myself. This semester (from the beginning of March) I started teaching Korean-English translation at the Graduate School of Interpretation and Translation of the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (boy, that's a mouthful). After all these years of study, I'm finally a professor! I have yet to get my Ph.D., but with luck that will happen either this year or next.
Then again, maybe I did mention it and then forgot about it. Who knows. My brain is fried these days.
I've learned that "qualification" may mean a number of different things. I may not have the piece of paper yet, but experience has taught me much about the joys of electricity and the human body.
It's been a long time. Glad to see a lot of the old faces popping in.
Got fired from my long time job last March. It gave me the push I needed to go back to school. I finished my classes last week and am now preparing for my certifications in administrative medical asst. and professional medical billing and coding. Wish me success!
Awesome to see EVERYONE! Lots of life changes all around. For those who want to keep in touch, I'm blogging and have recent posts on my nuptials from almost 2 weeks ago here. Great to see all of you! That jewelry is gorgeous Doc!
I've been thinking about popping my head back in here for a while, I guess with this "old timers" thread this is a good time to say HELLO once again.
My wife (LdyDiva) and I are still together after 13 years (a few rough spots but we've made it), and our brick & mortar store is still going well. We've bought the commercial building where it's located. And we are looking at opening a new retail store soon.
It's good to see many of the old faces stopping back in. The Asylum is a great oasis.
It's really nice reading up on everyone and how their lives have changed. So much wonderful news. In addition to my already busy lifestyle I now own two beach front stores that sale antique and estate items. I travel a good bit in search of items for my stores which I LOVE !
Waves a big generic hello back to Jeni, Amerasu, Shiii and all you other old time lovers. This is a lovely warm and fuzzy thread to lay down in for a while.
Those who look for monsters should look to it that
they do not become monsters. For when you gaze
long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Hello everyone! *frantic waving*
Finally back in these halls again after a way too long trip on the outside. Life is good for me. Finished my studies (for now at least), and now work as a web developer. The best thing about not studying any more is that I finally have time to use my evenings for my own code projects (and hanging out here again!)
Still living in Oslo, but starting to think about moving to some other far-away place to experience something new - seven years in Oslo is starting to feel like enough.

I haven't been here too much the last few years, but I do stop by once in a while. This place doesn't seem to be what it used to be, like 5-6 years ago...
What's Doc himself up to these days? Does he still post here?
