You must be 40 now, aren't you?

Ouch...my vacation turned out to be a little more extended than I initially thought.

Oh well, for those of you who care, the argumentative git (aka, me) is now back. Yes, I know that's the exact opposite of what this thread is about, but this still seemed like the most appropriate place to mention it...

Nice to see lots happened while I was away. That means even MORE catching up to do. Grr...

[Richard Bruns]

I'm glad to see that you're back. I was afraid you had faded into oblivion.

[Mark_Everson]

Thanks everyone! Actually, I'm 41... Probably you got the info from somewhere that's out of date.

I am reading and thinking about everything that has been discussed since I took off. I am trying to work out a high-level proposal for what we should do regarding all these issues. I think getting a solid overall plan based on compromises that everyone can buy into is much more important than the details at this point. So anyway, although I may not be posting responses to individual issues, I'll be around. I expect to have my proposal up by early in the weekend if not sooner.

I'll be away at a conference Thurs thru Saturday (10/7)

After that, well, I'm not taking a vacation, unfortunately, but I have a whole lot of real life going on over the next month or so... So I will not be able to keep up with everything I'd like to do.

If there is something anyone Needs me to do, feel free to bug me . But no promises as to whether I'll be able to come thru with whatever you want . But at least I'll be made aware of it.

I'm going to be away from next Monday to Friday (9th-14th October).

[Chris Wilkinson]

I've just found out that they have computers for net access at the place where I'm staying, so I'll read the forums, but I won't be able to update the website.

[Chris Wilkinson]

I'm back!

Guys:

I'm sorry I've been out of pocket this past weekend.

Work deadline this Friday.

I still spend about a half hour a day reading/listening, I just won't be as loud-mouthed as usual until after this weekend.

On the bright side, I've got an alpha version of the resource/infrastructure data model structure coded. We can think about putting together a simple Gui to do some testing with that this weekend.

I've not been very active lately due to some real life catching up.
The next couple of months I will probably not be able to participate very much. I've got to finish my thesis, and must have my priorities straight.
Will still be reading, but probably wont contribute much until next year

[Mark_Everson]

Sorry to hear that Beör, but as you say, one must keep in mind the priorities of things... Good Luck with the thesis.
