- Windsinger pokes his head around the door. He looks shattered but
- fundamentally OK, and grins and waves at the Grey Lady and the Bard. <<Hi!
- I thought I'd better just drop in quickly and say hello to everyone. I've
- been firmly in lurk mode since before Christmas because of a new software
- release at work, which had to be demonstrable in time for a major exhibition
- last week. It was too, though we were working 30-hour days for a while.
- Anyway, the pressure hasn't slackened off much; the exhibition's done, but
- the release deadline means we have to be at beta-release in two or three
- weeks time. And I have to practise up for Pentatonic, the UK filk con in,
- oh God, a week and a half. Sleep, clearly, is for wimps.>>

- A quick description for those who haven't see me in real or virtual life:
- Rhodri is 6'0", slightly overweight (actually substantially overweight at
- the moment, too many takeaways bought at company expense!), bearded with
- glasses, dressed as coincidence would have it in blue cords and a blue
- sweatshirt with a little SJ logo over the breast. Windsinger is slightly
- taller, slightly slimmer, clean shaven, dressed in blue with a midnight blue
- cloak.
-
- <<Just a few quick catch-up comments before I lurk again. Congratulations
- on surviving the C course, Kim. Hope you get a job with it soon, it
- shouldn't take too long.
-
- <<Thanks for the boost to my ego, Wayne. Actually I can't take all the
- credit for "Monty Who?", it was co-written with the Bard (Mike W) in the
- twenty minutes it took us to walk to a D&D session. I think it was mostly
- Mike's work in fact, I just do the silly voices and the arrangement.
-
- <<Enough. I really ought to get back to figuring out why my boot code is
- fetching complete gibberish off the disc. See you later!>>
