Hullo again fellow adventurers!
It's been a long time (again) since my last visit, but now I'm actually back again
I hope I can keep on visiting the boards again more frequently, after all, sometimes there happen to be a few funny and/or interesting things on these boards
Anyway, I'm back, so I greet all the oldies that know me and hail the new ones who don't know me and vice versa.
Untill then, have a good one!

Pfff.. I'm not THAT old
But hey back at ya
And thx Nippy, I've been good, just a bit busy, and with the exception that I had my 2nd hd crash in less than 1½ years!
That makes up for 70 gigs of unreplacable data! INSANE!

Hey Aegis old lad!
I hope to stick around for a bit, but I can't tell how busy I'm going to be to keep that promise
But I just installed BG I again (BG II will soon follow, and then IWD and PS:T will have to do their job again, so I will surely look to and fro at times
)
But right now I have a prob with my bg if you wanna check out the bg forum and try to help me out

Mhhh... Did I tellya that I went to England after I finished school? I don't really remember
Oh well, I went to England (Lonodn) and hoped for some nice experience there (I hoped to reach my xp-cap
).
Oh well, but everything turned out to be much different. I had planned to stay for a year, but since the work was $hitty and my boss was an @$$ I went home after 3 months. At that time I didn't have dsl at home anymore (stupid me did cancel it.. doh) so I started to play all the oldies (BG, BG II IWD and PS:T) again while I was searching for a job. One week before Christmas I went thru BG II ToB (yirha)
and a few days after my hd crashed (for the 2nd time in less than 1½ years) and I lost everything. Oh well, everything should be better the new year. Aafter 3 months without work I finally got a job. The 2nd of January should turn out to be my lucky day
I got a new hd that very day (60 gigs) and got a nice job which I have now, so everything is nice now, except for the fact that I'm running on a 56k modem conn instead of my dsl... Rather $hitty I tellya
But the place where I work is a telephony/internet company, so when I'm at work I have high-speed inet access, very nice
And the fact that I don't have dsl at home gives me the chance to play all the cool rpg's one more time, and now with add-ons like dsotsc, tdd and stuff like that. Really cool
So much for my lifestory, what about urself, any new stories I have missed?

How did you like England - apart from the weather
I don't remember you mentioning it
Congrats on getting a job, are you sticking to it or is it a stop before your next job?
56 isn't so bad, depends on what you are doing, i have worked on a 2MB connection and to be honest for normal web browsing there isn't that much difference
I am running on 28k at the mo, be glad you have a decent telephone line
You ain't missed a lot, i have been in my curent job for 2 years now, it can be fun, but i am thinking about changing jobs sometime although i am undecided yet. I went to a bunch of trade shows, i met people who are so geeky they make me look like the "King of Cool"
Other than that, things are running smoothly

There have been much goings on! I have increased my post count (a great deal...
) and the COMM's (Communicators) ruled the roost for a short while underneath Weasel but we have had to stop, Weasel has decided that he should no longer be leader...
Apart from disliking England
D) did you have a good time in the pubs and stuff?

Heh, the "King of Cool" sounds kool
About the job I'm working at right now... It's only a stop untill I decide on what to do with myself. Right now I just don't really have a clue what I want to study, but I think it will be something with economy, that's my strong side I guess. So I'll prolly be working here for a year or so, the wage isn't that bad either, so I'm going to save up some money for my studies. I'll be moving to a flat as soon as we sell our house, and there I'll get back my dsl!! (imho there is a huge difference between 56k and dsl when browsing the inet, but when u have dsl u use it for other purposes as well, and it is cheaper, which is most important of all
)
