The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

how does one get a GPA above a 4?

Maybe (s)he's considering the sum of two tests taken ??

- just finished a contract job working on proposals at a defense contractor, will probably go back to work on a long-term (8 month plus) proposal in about six weeks
- went to "see you at the pole" school prayer function this morning to help out
- trying to cover my bills for the next six weeks
- will be spending my next several weeks learning more 3d and working on some modeling and character animation projects

Well I'm the same as in I haven't posted for a while; update my site or DA for that matter with new work (if people remember me that is :P). That's because the end of last year I put my life in order and got sorted with my career and personal life. So I've been currently:

- Finished up college and thought long and hard about going to university, but decided not to.
- Trying to get my life in order and get an idea in what I want in and from life.
- Working for a brand, spanking new design & marking agency in Liverpool.
- Getting out more and enjoying life.
- Playing around more with design (and photoshop.....aawww lovely photoy.....)

That's about it, so don't expect to see much of me around here. I'll still be here lurking, but not posting that much. As for my site and DA, I'll have to see what comes about with them and new artwork/design stuff that I can upload or not as the case maybe.

::: COPEY + CELL + DA + GFX :::

- working on a new homepage
- got a new hard disk
- establish my apartment
- and mmmm im tired at 6 o'clock and thats terrible

I've been quite vacant around these parts of late too, with good reason...

- 2nd year @ University, biting off more than I can chew left right and centre, aiming for straight 7's across the board (hah!) this semester.
- Building an interactive installation (VR computer vision system) artwork about space and the body...
- Attempthing to build a community site/webapp with flash.
- Working on several commercial websites and screwing around my clients cause I'm already too busy (sorry about that rob).
- Group research project for my applied cognative phyc subject... erg... not even gonna go there.
- Being poor, drinking too much coffee, not sleeping, blantantly avoiding female contact... nothing unusual there.

Oh and all that's happening in the next month. Anyone wanna switch places with me for a month? I need a fucking holiday.
