MonTemplar steps up to the bar. "One large cup of Darjeeling please, Mike. It
is VERY cold outside in RL."

Clutching the steaming beverage, he turns to the assembled Patrons.

"Greetings peeps! I thought I'd write up a little post to tell you what's
down my way. First off, a shout to Tanais, Merrytail and Ignatz, and Melandra
too (hi!), also to Windsinger, Wumpus (ABEND), Nicki (MIA), Bard (for his
choccy concoction, yum!), Kyla-sprite (coming RSN), Didi, Merrigold (hello!),
Meredith (somewhere), Steve Glover, U.Spaceman, DM, Space Cadet, and da Wolf!"

"I handed in my final assignment last Wednesday, so my C & Unix course is
effectively done. Sadly, I have yet to get any kind of placement, so I'll be
job-hunting again :-( but the training firm has made provision for us to form
a Jobclub to help us find work, and allow us to keep our training allowance
in the meantime, so it ain't all bad. Plus I'll have time to do some Windows
programming, at last. So, fingers crossed."

"I also got an offer for my old BBC Master computer system - a chap from
Herriot-Watt University in Edinburgh is buying the whole shabang off of me,
so he can use it for controlling experiment equiptment. He's even offered me
extra for me to bring it to Kings Cross in London so he can pick it up easily.
That's cheered me up no end, as I could use the money for that Soundblaster
card I've been lusting after for months... :-)"

"Since we seem to be doing another round of descriptions, I suppose I ought to
let u new peeps in on my particulars." He gives a quick twirl. "I'm 6'2", with
dark hair, grey-green-blue eyes, a largish conk :^) and a pretty mixed-up
appearance (I'm Anglo-Sicilian, so y'all show da proper respect :-))"

"In VR I look pretty much the same, only a lot fitter with all the huggings,
Splurge attacks, and puns I get through :-) I'm a programmer by vocation,
with a BSc Computer Science (failed) Degree, and no gainful employment at the
mo :-( I'm well behind on my reading (SF mostly), and I'll be off to Tower
Records as soon as the weather cheers up, to stock up on rap/house/techno/
ambient stuff (long overdue!)"

"I'd better sign off now, as it's nearly midnight, and I needs some sleep."

Bye for now.

Alan.
PS. Oh yes I forgot, I have my own Internet address! Like it?
