  • It's been so long ...

    ... since I had time to stroll these forums.

    Main reason is being buried in work and having lesser freetime, now that my kids are growing and demanding more and more the older they get, which is perfectly fine to me, but it just doesn't leave enough time to follow all my interests.

    Anyways, I see you peeps still are having fun and get along very well ...

    Here's an actual pic of the two, after having raided their new plattform which I built as a base for the treehouse that I'm building for them in our backyard.



    The pirate in front is Louis who will turn 5 in four weeks and the little monger in the back is Kimmy who just turned 3 recently.

    As you can guess from the pic, we are a happy bunch and doing mighty fine ...

    ...

    On the computer front, I upgraded my aging Asus A7V333 / Thorton 2400+ rig from a Radeon 9600pro to an XFX 7800GS XX and aside from the tremendous speed bosst, I could revive my olden shutterglasses and enjoy real 3D again. Being completely CPU limited, I can take advantage of the fact that I run everything in VSync to avaoid tearing when using my glasses and I found out the performance impact is minimal when using 4xAA & 8xAF in combination with transparancy MSAA, compared to default (no AA, no AF) settings, so overall I'm a pretty happy camper again and could save quite a few bucks before I'll have to get an entirely new system.

    While I'm on gaming, are there still some peeps out there that use Hamachi ?

    ...

    So much for now, I just wanted to drop by and give a little status quo on me and hope that you are all doing fine as well !

    Take care,
    Maggi

            Guchi:
            LOL ... now I know what I was missing for so long ... it must have been these kind of deeply philosophic expressions of joy ... wheeee w00t w00t !!!


            AZ:
            Thanx for the flowers, I think the last pics I posted from my kids must have been ages ago, since not even the forum's search engine could find 'em



            gt40:
            Thanx for confirming my deeply biased perception of my kids being so pretty ...



            Sasq:
            I surely would, if I could only find out what my ICQ number was ... do you still have it around ?
            I could try to remember the pw I used back then ...

            But I guess, it's just easier to meet you peeps on IRC instead.

              Welcome back! Now all we need is a good G200 VS TNT flame war, and I will feel nostalgic .

                Hi Maggers!!!!

                Pirates are Cool!!!! Arrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

                I do miss the Good old Days at MURC..................

                I think I read some where that the TNT2 is realy a piece of lunch meat with foil crimped on one side. Really!

                Ya, I read that somewhere too, Pimento Loaf(Yuk) wasn't that what they said, somewhere.

                Now can we all please get along before I get my size 11 Doc Martens out again and start pushing my weight around

                You know I was just playing Quake 2 at 1600x1200 with 38fps on the G400 and thinking to myself, this is hideously bad.

                It's a good thing you guys can't hear me sing...LOL

                Some G400s are only AGP 2X??

                I think I might have gotten one of those shady OEM/boxed deals
