So, um, where is everyone?

[Mercutio]

Is this thing on?

 

[Handruin]

A quiet day today. Nothing interesting to chat about I guess.

 

[mubs]

I came here a gazillion times and was the only one. Beat a hasty retreat!

 

[SteveC]

I came here a bunch of times, but didn't have anything to say, and no one else was, so I left. Boring weekend.

 

[CougTek]

I asked myself the same question. Seing others did the same thing too, I think I should have posted three or four silly threads just to draw attention and generate a few activity around here. Something intelligent might have come out of it.

 

[Tea]

I popped in several times, didn't have much to say, didn't say much. Mostly, I just enjoyed Time's wonderful link to t he office party thing.

 

[Buck]

I didn't have anything to say, or time to read, so I didn't come in.

 

[fool]

Sitting around, watching whos online, waiting for someone to say something interesting.

 

[fool]

when I should have been compiling my shopping list:

Milk
Bread
Loose leaf darjeling
apples
a life

 

[Pradeep]

Greetings from sunny Tokyo! Got an overnight stop here. Thumbs up recommendation for the Narita Airport Rest House. Very nice buffet breakfast. And one can never have too many beer vending machines!

 

[mubs]

So vatcha doin there, fella?

 

[Mercutio]

Pradeep, what is it, exactly, that you do? Months in the states, visits to Tokyo, an Aussie location... Seems like you move around more than any of us.

 

[CougTek]

Seems like you move around more than any of us.

Except perhaps JamesW.

Funny, actually I was out shopping all day. Oh, except for the hike and watching X2.

 

[The Giver]

The Giver is a pain in the ass but things are never boring when he's around.

Muhahahahaa....

 

[fool]

Good to know youre still in the land of the living Bill.

 

[P5-133XL]

Me generally busy today, but this evening, like always, I come here and read whatever has transpired.

 

[Handruin]

We can all admire Coug's new avatar. :rr:

 

[Groltz]

We can all admire Coug's new avatar.

That is a bit of a shocker...I would have never guessed he's an Iron Maiden fan. It took me all of 5 seconds to recognize Derek Riggs' IM artwork.

Check out this one

 

[mubs]

My unasked for opinion: I liked the old Coug better.

 

[Dïscfärm]

We can all admire Coug's new avatar. :rr:

That actually looks like the lead singer from MC-5, err... Robb what's-his-name.

Damn, I didn't spot that. On the wall at my primary school there used to be a sign reading “Eddie will be this tall”, apparently the first stage model was built in our playground one summer holiday.

 

[Pradeep]

So vatcha doin there, fella?

Acutally it was a stopover on the way to the USA. Cheaper to fly MEL->NRT->ORD than directly via SFO/LAX. Crazy stuff, but who can argue with the $$$.

 

[mubs]

No, one can't argue with $$$ even if one has to fly an extra 2000 miles! (scratches head still trying to figure it all out.....)

 

[Pradeep]

And that's 4000 extra frequent flier miles (100% PLT bonus )

 

[Mercutio]

You were at ORD and you didn't let us know?

Can't believe I'm saying this, but that might've actually been worth a trip to O'Hare.

 

[Pradeep]

Well I was only there for about an hour before my next connection, unfotunately that was delayed about 45 mins, then when we were all on the plane and taxiing to the runway, all East bound takeoffs were shutdown due to weather and we went and parked out in the middle of nowhere for about 1.25 hours. Fun fun fun. Especially in a POS Embraer 145. At least I had the exit row. I'll let you know next time Merc.

I'm back! I actually have money for food now! And an Internet connection too!

At least until the end of September. :-?

 

[Buck]

Welcome back i. Still looking for a job and willing to travel?

 

[i]

Thanks Buck. Nice to be here again.

Yup, I could still use a job (current one pays just enough to live on and will end in September). As for travelling, maybe not. I'm in the Washington DC area now and I have to say I'm really liking it here.

That said, I can't think of anything else to put on my profile, so it'll have to stay as is until I'm feeling more creative.

 

[timwhit]

Where is everyone? There just don't seem to be many people around this week. Is everyone on vacation or something?

 

[Mercutio]

I'm presently enjoying the pleasant, floating sensation associated with Drixoral, the stuff I take when I get overexposed to things I'm allergic to.

I was basically sick all weekend.

 

[Howell]

I was at the lake at a bachelor party Sat and Sun. I'm not sure where monday went.

 

[Fushigi]

At a work-hosted IT get-together in Lake Geneave, WI the past couple of days. Drank a lot of wine...

 

[Buck]

Busy working and saving money.

 

[blakerwry]

I'm out sick. Don't expect me around till I feel better, sorry guys.

 

[Santilli]

Stopped by. Work is over for summer school this week, and trying to find a position for the following year, among other things.

[CityK]

Man oh man, this place has been pretty dead lately.

 

[Mercutio]

I'm back! Life of the party and all!

No? Depressed mofo maybe?

Hey, I'm only using one modem and my connection is 48k. w00t!

 

[flagreen]

Welcome back!
