Thought i would just pop in and say 'hi' for anyone that remembers me. I know its been a while since I have been around (forgot the site name - really should have added to favorites).

So how are you all doing? Any news I've missed out on (probably loads)... Are all the oldies still around? (eg. ober, govt, ethic, gades, stealth, rob, ken F, -ken-, drakken, maes, jkim etc etc)

News on this front: Still contracting - but currently taking a month or two off as I am moving house (just bought a five bedroom, three storey house for me and the cats). Lately was working for the army - it wasnt very exciting mainly photoshop stuff but it was nice money just before the house move. And as I had spent quite a few months this year renovating my current cottage ready to sell it it was quite useful. Need to get back into some programming work in july though - already had one interview but they wanted me to start much earlier than my july date (ie this week) and wanted me to travel to germany straight away (so that was a no from me), the rest of the interviews i have called off as its just too much to do with the house move. (i'm sure it wasnt this stressful last time).

anyhow thats the summation - hope you are all ok

Hi bassy!

Pretty much everyone on your list is here once in awhile at least.  maes, Gades, and -ken- pop up once in a great while, but that's about it.

Whoa, bassy!

Not sure I like being referred to as an 'oldie', but great to hear from you. How's the OU stuff - got your degree yet?

I have about 2 years left I think...

Never mind your house, post pix of your car :)

In answer:
Should be moving into the house - week tuesday - exciting and i now have no money left.
The car was sold about a year or so ago - yes i know i loved the elise too - but i lost the garage it was garaged in and i didnt want to leave it out on a street all night. The good news is that the new house has a garage - so now the decision is what car to buy next.
To rob: probably next year to finish the OU degree but this year is messed up as i am moving in the middle of TMAs - so will have to ask for a two week extension... as usual i messed up exams whilst getting an average of 89% on most of last years course work. Got 410 points though - as i went a bit over the top - however i didnt realise you needed 120 points from the third year and so far I am only taking 60, so thats slowed it down a bit. I have no idea how i thought you just needed 60 points.
I'm packing the house up at the moment and I have no idea how much stuff i have accumulated.
