I'm far too cautious to get caught on camera

EDIT: And too young to be working on Merlins.

There are two kinds of people in the military.  I also was one of those who fixed things.  As for the rest....

I'm almost done reading Touched with Fire by Eric Bergerud its a really great book I've enjoyed it thoroughly looking forward to Fire in the Sky. Things are pretty settled here in the new house just gotta get the guest bedroom put together. My wife got a full time job at a fancy bakery which is good she's putting her degree to some good use. Hope everybody's enjoying their weekend I will be working the rest of it.



All good to hear, Joe, except the working the rest of the weekend part.

Welcome back, Leo. Did you do anything exciting on your vacation, or were you excited to lay around and do nothing?

Status: offline 		I've decided that if I ever want to create a new multiplayer online game, it will be targeted at kids.  My son and his friends all play a silly little game called Maple Story.  It's kind of a fantasy/storybook version of Mario Brothers, with some character building added in.  Here's the beautiful part.  You can "buy" all kinds of crazy stuff that does nothing except "look cool" like hair styles, clothing, chairs to sit in, etc.  I don't know about all the other kids playing it, but my son probably spends enough in real money so he can buy the cool stuff in game to pay at least one programmer's salary for a year.  

I'll make a fortune!  Now, I just have to learn to really program, come up with an idea, dump AE to free up some time to work on it..... Nah, not worth it!

Mike, I think you should have a look at the "AE is too boring" thread at the main forum. Your ideas should fit right in there.

I need one of those. Singing my first solo in church tomorrow. Feels kinda like Midway. As the Japanese. Not sure what I'm heading into.


Hopefully, when all's done, you won't have to 'apologize to his majesty'.



Well, it was a success. No one ran out screaming in terror.

Certainly possible...but untestable so irrelevant.

Erhem... I just love having to do nothing...

Of course, it's nice (in an abstract sort of way) to know that it's not going to be indefinite...

I 100% agree. I retired some years ago with the intention of doing nothing every day - and some days I just can't get it done.

I wasn't implying that. I meant what I said. It's your vacation. You get to do with it whatever you darn well please.

Nope. I hope to never find out either I have no interest in helicopters or working on them, big jets suit me just fine

We enjoyed our last week of holiday sunbathing (and I was snorkeling) and doing almost nothing except resting (and sightseeing medieval cities on the island)...
