Hello Again

[mcr]

Archived from groups: alt.games.mame (More info?)

Hello again everyone...

I've been 'away' for a while, boy have I missed a lot! MAME trademark
desputes... lots of updates. It took me a week to get MAME up to date.
My DSL line comes on in two weeks in my new gaffe (With a phone line),
but in the meanwhile my Wi-fi card is connecting to the neighbours AP ;-)

Thanks for the happy birthday fella's!

In case any of you nosey buggers wonder where I went (not prison!) I
have a new job which while training (18 weeks!) added years to my face
and receeded my hairline quite a bit!

Looking forward to your report, and some recent pics.

I'm glad to see many of the lost sons return home now, like Jacob, Rutger
and Sinner some months ago. Home, sweet home.

I read tentacles first. *Looks down* No, don't wear any (right now). If
you have an email address accepting a pic I send you one that proofs it.

Of course here were some discussions and controversy. That's good (for
me) unless trolls show up. But I think they all rest in my killfile. Want
a copy? ;-)

Linux and sometimes about MAME. And beer, of course.

Damn, how I miss beer. Pretty expensive here, and I did not find a brand
yet I *really* like, and don't want to import any from Europe.

> At this rate I'll be top poster again in no time, watch out Sinner!

Nah, don't top post. ;-)

Yes, would be nice to see more of you again.

But _that_ precisely is what Home Sweet Home was! Discussing the
legalities of roms with JB Nicholson-Owens, thwacking idiots with fishes,
cluebats and lasers, awaiting the next letter in the Favourites poll,
wondering where the hell is the tombstones.org.uk page and finding out
that it's moving _again_, etc...

I dunno, I seem to remember a guy called Sloth or something like that
that started a thread about favourites but it never went anywhere...

The thing abovt working in a game shop is...

1) Its ironic, bvt by the end of the day yov are sick and tired of games
2) Yov meet some 'interesting' people who make obsessives seem well
balanced!
and
3) We dont stock 'real' games like Galaga and Metrocross! ;-)

Someone once told me the same thing about working as a camera man for a
pr0n webcam site.

LOL! Currently I dont have a 'proper' email account... I assume both
lazarus and tombstones has ended and I have no ISP ;-) The only thing
is I seem to connect to one of two AP's... One is AOL so I cannot view
some sites (Thanks D-Dave ;-) ) and the other is NTL (Yuck!)... but I
cannot complain to the neighbour!

If you don't mind me asking, since I am a wireless newbie:

1. is that with his permission;
2. do you need his ISP password; and
3. will he notice any lag or other difference when you're on?

I am guessing "no" for 2, since war-chalking is all done on the sly, right?
