I be away; moderators please read
« on: 29 Mar 2003, 17:28 »
I'm moving house and therefore from tomorrow will have no internet access for probably about 3 weeks.

I'd appreciate it if everybody could try their best to answer any tech queries posted here.

If there seem to be bugs which nobody can work out the cause of, or suggestions which have people backing them up, do add them to the tracker as a way of making sure they don't get forgotten.

Thanks.

You can come stay with me over in the states until things get settled.   Just make sure to go to the library or some computerdatingcafe where you can check in on us.... you know youll want to.  See you in a few.  :D

I have a small tip for you Chris: Before you move in, make sure it isn't built above an ancient indian burial ground!  ;)

Is this an April Fools joke?  Cause I dont want you to move and be away for 3 weeks.... Why are you in need of a break?  Are you saying you want some space?  I thought things were going great between us, and for one thing, I think you're the one with the problem... always whining about bugs...  We'll I'm the one bringing in the dough around here, so when I get home, I expect the food on the table, and the bugs found and dealt with.

Hey, thanks for your welcomes back.

I am now in my new residence - and on my way here, I passed by King Graham himself:


My only regret is that I wasn't here for April Fools Day... I was planning a good one for you guys. Ah well, there's always next year  ;)

Anyway, I tell you, I'd forgotten how long the day seemed without internet access. I got so much more done in the evenings without having the net as a distraction... I may have to consider a permanent abstinance from it at some point :)

I certainly hope not... I don't think the world would be the same place with out you here on the net...  :P

Did you by any chance read the April Fool's Joke at the Tierra forums? It turned out pretty good...
