Hi all,
I sincerely hope that SunBlock is included in your equipment... if not you have to by at least several bottles of SPF 30 stuff...

I've just bought 4 bottles of SPF 50. I'm considering buying in more [:D]

Allied Ships

This somehow reminds of Tom Lehrer:
"I got a letter today that read: "Darling - I can not live without you. If you don't marry me I will KILL MYSELF!" I was pretty upset until I realized the letter was addressed to "Occupant."" [;)]

3 day work week for me! Friday is a holiday for Independance Day, and Thursday is a comp day for our entire department for all the extra hours we put in to get our most recent release out the door. [8D]
Even better, almost no one else is here, including any managers. [:D]

SPF 50 is good stuff! I tan very easily, but my son is whiter than anyone you've ever seen. He'll come back from two weeks in the tropics just as white, thanks to liberal use of SPF 50. [8D]

Not bad, just cut off from the Internet for the past few months. However, not that I have returned home I have all the access that I need. From other news I am going to defend(?) my BA thesis on the 8th of July. [:)]

RE: THE THREAD!!!
Has anyone heard anything more about the forum update??[&:]
We are into out 4th day of this... admittedly, they started this on a Friday (iirc, contradicting 2 of their previously stated principles of never making a big change on a weekend, nor at the time of Origins)...
So far, i am not seeing any progress (well, perhaps some negative progress) - and they haven't been talking about on the "Fancy New Look" thread on the General (Matrix) Forum.
It is BEGINNING to look like this was a deliberate purge of the database - dump all the graphical content (and the Thread) to speed things up... hopefully i am wrong about this... [:(]
Of course, this is going to screw up all the AARs, not to mention trouble shooting where posting screen shots are pretty important.
EDIT: AFAIK - all the graphic content we see in sig banners, and the few pics shown are hosted in other websites.
