It's that time again!
Time for my near-annual 'I'm still alive!' post.
The lease I have on my current place will be going out on the 16th of Jan, so I'll actually be getting my own internet again sometime around then (all going to plan... so I wouldn't encourage people to hold their breath). Hopefully I'll be back on a regular basis soon though.
I'll be on for about another 4 hrs, then after about a 6-8 hour gap I'll be stealing the computer for pretty much a full day. It would be great to catch up with whoever is around.
I'll be making a blog tomorrow so that I can mass-post about general craziness surrounding me these days etc. Also including anecdotes about cooking, share-house living and typesetting, all with a dose of SCIENCE!

Beard update: Long and scary. It has reached a new height of density. It is now a game board for the greatest drunken invention ever: INVERSE BEARD JENGA. Wherein you see how many chopsticks you can insert into the beard before they fall out. Current record: 16 chopsticks or 12 chopsticks and a wooden spoon.
Blog is currently on blogspot, I'll throw a link when I actually get some content up (hopefully in a few hours, unless I get attacked by procrastination).
Hence the wooden spoon.
How often do guys roll their eyes at you and say "Women." This is exactly how I'd be tempted to react to a comment like this if it were directed at me.
Just saying.
EDIT: And I just keep a chin-beard around for ruminating purposes. How can I ruminate without a beard?
And presumably if it got dirty enough the chopsticks would stick in there. That would just not be a good look. I have standards to maintain as the King of the Hobos.
I'll try and dig up a picture or two of one of the Jenga games. There's even one version using glowsticks.
Tell me what's been happening with you all in the past 9 months to 2 years (the broad spectrum of my internet blackout). It'll be a bit longer before I post the link to my blog because there are a few entries that I'm going to have to re-compose repeatedly until I don't sound like I want to permanently cripple someone.
I'll still want to permanently cripple that guy, I just don't like having the reputation for being the guy that does that kind of thing anymore.
SO... back to the diversion from my rage issues: What have you been doing in the past 9 months to 2 years. And from that, what are you aiming for?
Also, not everyone can grow a hobo beard. Frankly that's a good thing. I only grew mine because I flat-out hate shaving daily. And trimming is way more effort than I'm willing to expend.
I don't remember who you do and don't know of those who have been about lately, but I'll see how much I can recall. Others will have to bring up corrections/additions...
illithid got married and likes to go on about old english liturature and a class he gets to teach in which he managed to have a meaningful discussion about video games that was totally awesome. Serephel is working off in China someplace wooing the womens and probably drinking more than is proper with all the cheap booze available. The British kid gave us a bit of a scare a bit ago, but he's seems to be alright now, thankfully enough. I'm not going into that one. Filleau's in the military and said something about going to Iraq to bring the them the gift of the internet or something to that effect. I wish him the best of luck in that. Hmmmm... Well, DBD was around for awhile though I haven't noted his presence in a while, and noobity even stopped in and said "hi" in his own way, though I think his way bothered some others here? Regardless he didn't stick around too long. Jakey's in California as of late I think, though I'm not certain what he's been up to anymore.
There was a dunken sailor adventure somewhere and hamelin did a couple pretty awesome things, but that's all been pretty quiet. There was a refridgerator challenge that was quite amusing, but I'm not feeling like digging up links just now.

Doing well so far. Few things I already knew (I sneaked a couple of AIM convos a few months back), but there are still a lot of unknowns. Fill out the file dump, my friend.
EDIT: I'll get back to you later. Perhaps someone else add/correct/expand what I got so far.
Um... we're planning an OB get together next summer! It's still in the planning stages, but in theory Bruce will fly in from the UK, I'll fly in from China, and we're going to migrate our way to California. So if you want to get in on that, let us know. It'll probably be around mid or late August.
Is that everything? I dunno, I have to go to work now.
Furthermore, how might we conspire against you? Plan some hostile takeover? We're shorter, less tech-savvy, and don't regularly talk to each other, as far as I know. Carter is probably the only one of us younglings that regularly talks to you guys, and I don't even know if he qualifies for the young group, or if he is in limbo. From our side, we're probably lucky you guys let us stay on.
