Just curious, but where's Ian?

Was listening to the glitzine song by Carl and realized that I haven't seen Glamster7/Ian around of late. Anybody know???

Yes he has been around!

Yep he was here yesterday and also popz in from time to time still Lycan.

My bad. Cool to know he's still with us. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Yeah, I've seen him...but where's Carl been? I don't think I've seen him for about a week. Of course, I haven't been around all that much.

Surely he can't be on vacation again! He just had a long weekend up in the sticks.

Hope everything's ok.

Thanks for the concern folks - contrary to popular rumor I am alive and well. Tend to pop in here during the day time these days. Have access to the internet at work so when I fancy a quick break from work I'll pop in. The other reason is that I'm learning Perl programming at work and after a day of staring at that on the pc, it puts me off using the pc when I get home.

I was wondering if that may have been it. I thought I remember you mentioning that you were having comp troubles. I think you mentioned that Dell sucks too. Randy is having the same problem I guess. That sucks. Good luck getting up and running again.

And to answer Dan's question, I have been in computer hell for the past few weeks. I don't have a working machine at home anymore, thanks to Dell being the shitiest company in the world, and it's "customer service" being about as good as calling my local 7-11 for help, same accent and result, except at 7-11 O might get a free Slurpee. Fuck Dell. 4 hard drives in less than 2 years is unacceptable, and they do shit about it.

Then at work all of the computers went down for about a week. Yea.

So, I am struggling along and trying to find a reasonable way of building my own computer. I will start with a new hard drive, and pray that I get a new mother board before the old one from Dell chooses to kill this new hard drive also. It's a race against time, and I'm losing.

Oh, I'll be up and running again, I just need to buy new computer parts and crap. It's not a matter of finding the problem, as I know that the problem is that Dell sucks donkey ass.
