25/06: YUP.... Must be summer.
Postings have fallen off again.
So far, 11 days over 90, and it's not even July yet. No wonder they call it, Hotlanta.
Working these 10 hour days is killing this old man. Can't wait till school starts so I can go back to normal 8 hour days. Heck, shouldn't complain, Still Have My Job.
Obamas plans haven't taken that from me, YET !
14/06: Thanks, Justen!
It's good to be back.
Yes - I see that ActiveWorlds is still going. I know about Second Life. As far as Contact goes, it doesn't seem to like IE8 and I can't find a Firefox version.
I'd like to hang out in PointWorld for a nostalgic trip. Unfortunately, I can't get Contact to work.
Since I've been gone, I've become a Microsoft MCSE and MVP. I always seem to have new hardware. I'm on a nice Core 2 Duo Dell laptop now. It's plenty sufficient with great 3D support, but I'm sure that I'm going to get the itch to build a new PC soon. I have the desk space for sure (courtesy of IKEA), but I dread unpacking all of my cards, motherboards, wires and multiple PCs. Once I do that, I'm gonna be really busy patching and updating. Well, at least I can avoid upgrading to IE8 on one of those PCs. Maybe I can get Contact to work then.
In case you haven't guessed, I've just recently moved into a new place here in New Jersey. It's nice and quiet - too quiet. I'm spending too much time reviewing the past instead of building a future. This is time well spent, though. No regrets. I just gotta get out more. I don't know where to start! Maybe a health club? Lions club? KofC? I'm taking suggestions!
Thanks again, Justen. I'm glad to see you're thriving and that Jedi is still bitchin'! ;-)
08/06: Nathan and Hey Bill...
Nathan's 1st birthday was this past weekend. Wow that year really flew. We had like 35 people over and had a great time. Was really funny to watch him try and stuff a chocolate frosted cupcake in his mouth all at one time :)
Hi Bill! As for VRML the blaxxun server is gone. Blaxxun went bankrupt. Whomever owns the domain now does not run a community server anymore but you can still download the client. A few places pop up but go away and of course there is always Cybertown but they charge.
There is one run by Djelle here: http://www.djelle.dk/jumpgate/?Midgard which is still a blaxxun based client/server and you can probably open Pointworlds on and a user/programmer named 'thyme' rewrote the whole thing and usually is around with a crowd Saturdays in world and you can get onto that here: http://www.seamless3d.com/
Another rewrite is here:

Or, for more fun if you have bought a new PC in the past few years, hit www.there.com or www.secondlife.com. There are actually people on those. 'There.com' being the more friendly and is really fun, Secondlife, more builder oriented. Email me if you want to hang out some time! justen.c(remove this)@comcast.net
Hope everyone is having a great summer!!

What up, foos? Jedi made the mistake of giving me the address to this blackboard! Muhuhaha!
I'm back in NY finally after a long nightmare in Texas. I can get good pizza again (cooked and delivered by Mexicans - go figure!) Health is good. Quit smoking again for the second time and for good now.
Does anyone actually still meet in VRML or is this it? Remember the Pez avatar in Cybergate? LOL!
Let's partay!
Time for my nap. Zzzzzzz....
03/06: June, Oh June
Month has changed, so its time to clean up and make another topic.
Is it summer like now?
20/05: disMAY
Time for a fresh board subject, don't ya think? Not that there's anything different to post, but the other subject is getting a little stale, kinda like Charlie except not quite as rank. So, HELLO WORLD!
03/05: OK, Put Twitter aside and use the Board
What's wrong with you people. Summer is almost here,(It's summer here in Hotlanta already) and there will be very few posts during those warm months.
15/04: Happy Easter (belated)
Hey all glad to see the board is going well. I hope everyone is doing all right! We're having a blast with the baby, he's 10 months now and really quite the crazy kid.
Hope you have a great summer if I don't hear from you!
