- MonTemplar steps up to the bar. "One large cup of Darjeeling please, Mike. It
- is VERY cold outside in RL."
-
- Clutching the steaming beverage, he turns to the assembled Patrons.
-
- "Greetings peeps! I thought I'd write up a little post to tell you what's
- down my way. First off, a shout to Tanais, Merrytail and Ignatz, and Melandra
- too (hi!), also to Windsinger, Wumpus (ABEND), Nicki (MIA), Bard (for his
- choccy concoction, yum!), Kyla-sprite (coming RSN), Didi, Merrigold (hello!),
- Meredith (somewhere), Steve Glover, U.Spaceman, DM, Space Cadet, and da Wolf!"
-
- "I handed in my final assignment last Wednesday, so my C & Unix course is
- effectively done. Sadly, I have yet to get any kind of placement, so I'll be
- job-hunting again :-( but the training firm has made provision for us to form
- a Jobclub to help us find work, and allow us to keep our training allowance
- in the meantime, so it ain't all bad. Plus I'll have time to do some Windows
- programming, at last. So, fingers crossed."
-
- "I also got an offer for my old BBC Master computer system - a chap from
- Herriot-Watt University in Edinburgh is buying the whole shabang off of me,
- so he can use it for controlling experiment equiptment. He's even offered me
- extra for me to bring it to Kings Cross in London so he can pick it up easily.
- That's cheered me up no end, as I could use the money for that Soundblaster
- card I've been lusting after for months... :-)"
-
- "Since we seem to be doing another round of descriptions, I suppose I ought to
- let u new peeps in on my particulars." He gives a quick twirl. "I'm 6'2", with
- dark hair, grey-green-blue eyes, a largish conk :^) and a pretty mixed-up
- appearance (I'm Anglo-Sicilian, so y'all show da proper respect :-))"
-
- "In VR I look pretty much the same, only a lot fitter with all the huggings,
- Splurge attacks, and puns I get through :-) I'm a programmer by vocation,
- with a BSc Computer Science (failed) Degree, and no gainful employment at the
- mo :-( I'm well behind on my reading (SF mostly), and I'll be off to Tower
- Records as soon as the weather cheers up, to stock up on rap/house/techno/
- ambient stuff (long overdue!)"
-
- "I'd better sign off now, as it's nearly midnight, and I needs some sleep."
-
- Bye for now.
-
- Alan.
- PS. Oh yes I forgot, I have my own Internet address! Like it?
