Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / November 2005And then I are BACK!!1!
Hi all! All of the family are safe back at home. The destruction was massive and there wasn't a utility pole between our house and *anywhere* but out house was fine. The water didn't make it this far and no trees went through the roof. We still don't have phone, but I got electrickery and now I gots me some big fat *cable*! :-) It took a Cat 5 whirlygirl to drag me kicking and screaming into the 21st (20th?) century. I went to NOLA for the first time day before yesterday. It was unbelievable depressing and eery in the residential areas- mile after mile of empty houses, abandoned cars and no people. Canal Street was practically deserted. The French Quarter had exactly the same mix of local color and drunken tourists/relief workers but there were only maybe 10% of the people that there used to be. Neil, it would make you sick to see it, shoog. -- Thad Thad proclaimed.... > Hi all! Welcome back Thad. Glad to hear you're fine.

Happy to hear yer house is Ok and ya got juice.... Don't blame ya for leaving... Rita was guaranteed to smack Houston as a Cat 5 too so Lady Fodder, my Ex-wife (strangely enough named Rita) and I fled to San Antonio till it veered east and blasted Louisiana again...

I'm glad to hear that everyone's OK! Saw the whole thing all over our news channels for several weeks, the damage looked catastrophic. I hope someday you and the rest of N.O. manage to find some way back into 'normality' :) SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench > Hey Thad, its great to see you back! I'm glad to hear that everyone's > OK!

I have a lot of friends on the Mississippi coast (where Katrina actually hit) who lost everything, but they're rebuilding like crazy over there. == Thad > Hi all! > > All of the family are safe back at home.

That's a huge relief, very glad to hear you are okay, and not too much damage to your property.

Like Jack I've tried contacting you on about 4 different email addresses, and we were starting to get worried. What's the job situation like now? Not many new mortgages going to be granted, I'd have thought.... > I went to NOLA for the first time day before yesterday.

I saw it on the news as well, totally unbelivable You can pick out individuals but you can't beat mankind Hopefully US will support the district and you can catch up and get everything sorted Probably soem districts won't be rebuild?

Glad you're good, Spyder. We were all wondering about you in here the other week, various people trying to mail you. If you've got electrickery at least you can plug your guitar amp in... Check out my new baby, turned up this morning: http://tinyurl.com/cra4g And no, it's NOT goatse. - - David davidfirewater(a)hotmail.com "Where'd the muthaf*ckin cheese go? I don't know.

Action looks good, is it? McG. > Nice guitar you got there. Got a good deal with the plush > lined hardshell case too :) > How's it *sound*? Action looks good, is it? Cheers, McG. I thought it was an absolute bargain, so I sniped it and won it in the dying seconds. It sounds great, crisp and clear. No tinniness which I had with my previous one. That's gone to my 12 year old now. The action is a *little* high for me but I'll get that sorted next week. Spent about 4 hours on it today;) - - David davidfirewater(a)hotmail.com "OT posts and discussions happen in any forum where people come to "know" each other.

Mcg. > sigh.. just another Charlie Brown day .. <why is everbody pickin on me?> Did you know that any musician true to his roots is playing the bass (4 string only)? I have seen guitar players try to simulate bass riffs by using some 5 finger picking style But to no avail Playing bass, chords and melody only gives an average in performance Specializing in only one task makes perfection :) In order to document this I give you one very famous Dane http://www.internationaljazzproductions.com/nhop.html - Peter > Did you know that any musician true to his roots is playing > the bass (4 string only)? Hehe, what rubbish. Although I *do* play bass in a band now, mine doesn't have a mere 4 strings... It's a 5 string Peavey Millennium BXP:) http://tinyurl.com/7hk8y So take that and stuff it up your 4 strings, Peter. - :) - David davidfirewater(a)hotmail.com > Hehe, what rubbish.

In Germany "H" equals "B#" Come again :-) - Peter > In Germany "H" equals "B#" Actually it goes like this standard nomenclature A Bb B C German nomenclature A B H C This has lead to some very strange and odd musical translation errors ;-) Imagine one specific note shifted a halfnote? Ouch If in luck it's from major to minor :) - Peter >>> If it's tuned down to D or even H you could be excused >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > - Peter It would be if the note didn't drop the next octave :) McG. >> sigh.. just another Charlie Brown day .. <why is everbody pickin on >> me?> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > - Peter I can't read/write a lick of music, but I do understand it :) One instrument doth not a band make. No matter how fantastic the player of that instrument is. However, one playing a piece written for multiple instruments is thereby intepreting and rendering their intepretation through one instrument. That doesn't have to be 'bad', but it will be only one instrument. For effect, I will embellish with bars from other instruments where I feel it's appropriate to bring across the whole melody. I'm not looking to achieve the feel of the complete piece and be all voices, but am looking to create the most pleasing song with whatever effect I can on one instrument. When playing by myself, that is :) When playing with others, I'll often take rythm. I'm not good enough for lead :) McG. McGrandpa proclaimed.... > Nice guitar you got there.
