Hey guys, I as well came here after years of being off. I'm so sad to hear about this. I didn't speak with him much except back in the day but he was always a really caring guy and even though I didn't know him that well I'm distraught to hear of someone I know passing so young. Rest in peace Martin, God speed.

Hey guys! Long time no see! Made it back just in time to post on page 1000! I saw Alex's (gt1racerlHDl) post on FB with a recording of the WS XL emulator which I had forgotten about. Went out and downloaded it today and had it up and running again! Figured I'd come back and see how things are around here.

I didn't go out this year. This was the first time in about five years that I didn't. There just wasn't anything I really wanted. The only thing I contemplated was a Kinect for $99 but I can get that online. Although I kinda missed camping out though, it's always a fun experience.

All this time off has completely thrown off my sleep schedule, during the week I usually go to bet about midnight to get up around 7. Now I'm going to bed at 3-4AM and waking up at noon... this isn't good...

That's exactly it, he's been on medical leave since January. Although nothing much is changing other than job titles. Steve will contribute just as much to the company as Chairman of the Board as he has the last 8 months on leave.

I kind of get that feeling in the morning. Sometimes when I wake up and think about breakfast it makes me feel like I'm gonna throw up. However about 30 minutes or so after getting up I'm fine. I usually get up and work out then have breakfast and I'm ok.

Sesame Chicken and Pork Egg Rolls for dinner.... mmmmmmmmmm

Lunch from Culver's on Saturday-don't remember the exact price, it was about $7 or $8.

I love Culver's!! It's the best fast food place I've been to.

I forgot to embed the promo for the '90s Are All That block...

The 90's Are All That Promo [HD]

On another Nickelodeon-related note, would anyone be able to define the word "Nicktoons"? To me, it means cartoons that are on Nickelodeon. But now that channel seems to be showing non-cartoons/non-animated shows, which doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Yes, the definition of a Nicktoon is a Nickelodeon produced Cartoon but I guess Nicktoon's Network is becoming like Cartoon Network, just airing whatever, weither it's animated or not.

You guys are all lucky you get to go on vacation. I was going to go to Florida with my Mom and Sister but it turned out the week they wanted to go is the week I go back to university so that isn't going to happen  However I did get my pass to CES 2011 which is so early in January that class isn't back in session yet so hopefully I'll get to take a vacay then if I get the money together to book the plane tickets and hotel.

Do any of you look at the license plates around you when you drive? I literally saw some fifteen to twenty Texas plates in a row just on my way to the grocery store. I know Texas is big enough to be its own country, but I've never seen so many in one sitting in Louisiana.

I usually notice them too. I often see quite a few California plates... and I live in Ohio! One day we had a boat load of snow, it was the middle of January and I was in the Best Buy parking lot where I saw a California plate and I thought, go home buddy, it's got to be warmer there than here.

My desktop from my office computer. A few more icons than I'd prefer but it's a lot cleaner than it was!

I'm definitely a summer person, and I love the long days. Spring and summer are just so lively while fall and winter are symbols of death and sleep. Maybe I have Seasonal Affective Disorder...

Haha, I am so with you on that, I think I have "S.A.D." too...

I'm 21 and still have mine. Three came in just fine but one is on a slight slant and will probably have to come out soon.

Just in case anyone was curious that is actually a hub for terminals to connect to an AS/400 mainframe. We used to have an AS/400 and client terminals at our office so I'm very familiar with those units.

May 5th, 2011 will be a pretty important day for me. I will be taking my Microsoft Certification Exam in Kearny Mesa, CA. I've been studying like crazy for this, and I hope with the experience I have with Windows 7, along with the current classes I'm taking will help me pass.

Awesome, good luck! What certs are you testing for? I got my MCP and MCDST back in '05 but haven't done anything since. I'm going to be working on that this summer, upgrading my MCDST (which is for XP) to MCITP in Windows 7 and working on the server OS, SQL, and Exchange certs.
