Hmmmmmmm....

Whatever happened to our friend Luke?
He vanished from the boards over a half a year ago with no trace........
He was an avid kitty lover, and I miss him.

I know some of us give up a struggle 'till the end........
And then we just piss off and die.

I had Time Lord's number and gave him a ring about a month ago. He is fine, just busy. He sends his best.

It's funny how some of us are not missed until we are long gone.........

I hope my fate will not be the same.

If me or my crunchers have not been seen for 24 hours........send in the medics......but it will probably be too late then.
But you might still save the kitties.........

I hope that is all that is keeping him from being here..........
A simple word or two would be nice.
At least he may stop in and know he has been thought of.

I am sure TL will be back sometime. As to Luke, he is fine, just busy with life and not currently crunching Seti.
I also miss Mr Gray and JDWhale.

Yeah the economy has made people get real busy(Whether they like It or not), So their absence is understandable.

Yah......I know......where is our little Kroger boy........

About 60 days and the taxman comes knocking at my door.

I made it last year......it's gonna be close this year.

It'd be easy if I just shut down the crunchers for a couple of months.....that would rake in over $600 dollars.

Dominique is still listed as a Mod (or was as of 3 weeks ago)...she vanished some time ago....Jeffrey flat-out dissapeared one day too.

Update, Dominique resigned as a Mod in October last year and no longer is crunching Seti. Last I heard from Jeffrey, he was leaving the USA to parts unknown.

Hi everyone.
I must apologize, I left without notice, I made inadequate contact, I left many friends here without a word. I apologize to all who might just have wondered what had happened.

Long story short, Mark has found me and pointed me in the right direction. I left here, so I could concentrate on moving house, my 3 cats who I hold most dear to my heart, my GF, my job & career. But mainly, the reason I have not been able to make contact is because I am now (nearly) in financial tatters, the reason for this follows. I decided to set out to try (something I have always wanted to do when I was a kid) to be able to fly, as a pilot. So I set out to gain a New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority Private Pilot License with Wellington Aero Club a few months ago. Total cost? Just over NZ$15,000.

And guess what? I failed 2 of my exams (AirNav & Aviation Law). And I timed out on my other exams, after learning off my failure in those above. Total fallout? Over NZ$10,000 spent irrecoverably. I now have to repeat nearly all of my training, because most of the flying hours I had have also timed out. Not something I really want to talk about at the moment, but one day I will try again.

Plus business is down.

But, life is not about the money, it's about the friends and the happiness, two things I have missed so dearly since my departure. I became misguided with the CUDA and the credits.

So for now I'm back crunching, with the best people and the best friends, and also the best memories.

- Luke.
Wellington, New Zealand.

Don't make another donation........
If you do, I will kill Bill.......LOL.

Honestly.........just having you post here again is worth any price I could pay.

A single word.......... well, you know.

You have been missed, Luke.
