Well - I'm going to be moving into the worlds smallest apartment ever, with no bed, and only some clothes, my tv + ps2 and computer (and some blankets and pillows). I will have there, pretty much nothing, and be sharing a room (from my understanding) with my two year old nephew (OH JOY!). It'll be temporary (I'm moving to Virginia, remember?), so it's not all that bad -- But I won't have ANY internet access (Unless there are some wireless networks around).

So, I'll be gone for a while.

Awaits the "No one cares" post.

Also, sorry for another thread by me.

Cheers,

-naota

So you're looking after your two year old nephew unassisted?

Should I continue coding or focus on my art? Vote here:

3 days away from the internet would do some people a world of good. I'm not aiming that comment at you Aaron, definitely not, but hey you never know, you might come back a changed person after 3 days logged off

No ones cares....

...except everyone, I love you man! *hugs* Well hope to see you find a means of getting online to lets us know how you're doing, even if it means sitting in a dreaded internet cafe or hi-jacking someone else's wireless.

You sir have the moral ambivalence of a mutated shrimp!

No, I think he means that in three days' time he will have no internet for a long while.

Make sure you keep that apartment secure; if someone decides to steal that juicy looking PC and games console, it'd be devastating.

Wow, i'm going through the same thing Aaron. In two days i'll be moving to a temp studio flat with no internet, theres no phone line (not installed yet) and I can't afford satalite or 3G at the moment after spending a ton on the studio.

That pretty much what I have but just yestaday I managed to get a hold of 2 bean bags, so i'm all good.

Maybe it will good to get away from the net for awhile, I could actually get some work done for a change. Hopefully we'll be missed, I know you will and your Gui Tutorial thread that was coming along so nicely.

Thanks all.

And no, I'm not looking after him, my sister is. It's just a REALLY small 2 bedroom apartment. I'm hoping there will be some wireless connections around, if not it's definitely true I will get a lot more work done.

@Sasuke
Thanks. I've been trying to find time to work on the tutorial, kinda difficult for me. I've got about half of the 4th part done (spinners) and all the code done for it.

Nice to know people do care.

Cheers,

Man, I hate it when people announce they're leaving, even if it's only for a little while.

Thoughts and prayers are definitely out to you as you are moving (believe me, I know what it's like to move a lot).

Good luck man!

Yes, but Aaron's actually an important guy, his absence could be noticeable, lethally/

OK. I have NO internet now (This is the LAST time I'll be on the internet -- probably -- for a LONG time). My new apartment is getting setup currently, I just need my computer, gh2/3 guitar, and real guitar, and it'll be all setup. The doors need to be fixed though (My bedroom door can be pushed open by the cat's TAIL even if it's locked... :/), and the air conditioner doesn't work. :/ The water flows much better in the new apartment though.

Cheers,
