Members rasputin1963 Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 I missed the HC-SSS sorely. In its on-the-fritzage, I did a lot of 3D artwork. Like these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kurfu Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Actually created a user account at gearslutz.com so I could respond to someone that was laying some hate on the 8-string bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted December 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2009 I took off sick on Friday. 2 hours after emailing in to work I get a call from my wife's hair salon. One of her employees tells me to get there right away. Lisa's on the floor crying in pain. I get there 2 minutes later and she's surrounded by clients and employees. Total panic. Off to the ER... Sunday they took out her gall bladder and cleared all the surrounding ducts of a multitude of stones. None of it ever showed on the many tests we ran these past couple months trying to diagnose her pain. Surgeon says it's 75% likely this was the cause of her previous pain but we won't know for sure... I'm finally back at work. HC is back on, and I've got a stack of work through the ceiling. I'm going to have to hold HC responsible. That was uncalled for! That's what I did. I hate hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it was "only" stones.... those bastards hurt like hell I`ve been told. Can we blame this on Craig? Someone needs to take the fall. How about a scapegoat, Craig is too precious... any nominees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Discovered that GearSlutz alone can not suck up all my time. Started/worked on a couple of social net communities using pre-rolled technologies: www.downtronica.com www.onebluenine.com [domain pointing on the second hasn't propagated yet, so the actual url under that text goes straight to the site on the social net server.... that will be a temporary home for my band site until I can develop my own Web 2.0/social net enabled site... for now, it sure is great to be able to get something rolling in a matter of an hour or two instead of weeks... even if I do have to look at someone else's adverts] Also worked on developing my own Web 2.0 customer service/CRM site but that's a) not quite ready for primetime and b) would be boring anyhow. The development there will actually be put to use for my band/social site down the road, so, you know, it's not wasted effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have to hold HC responsible. That was uncalled for! That's what I did. I hate hospitals. Ouch. It's good that all is well, but watch out. My brother had his gall bladder removed a couple of years ago. Two weeks later his wife had to have her's removed. Three weeks later another brother had to have his removed (he's in Minnesota, the others are in Florida). Thankfully, since this, like many things, only comes in threes, I am now in the clear. I did not visit the hospital during the break, but I did manage to blow out the Firewire outputs on two (count 'em two) Presonus Firestudio 26x26's. THat takes a special skill that I must have developed during the outage. I wish other skills were half as easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members veracohr Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Most of my HC time is spent at work when I don't have anything to do, so I had to contend with more time at howstuffworks.com. Although I did remember musicplayer.com, where I got into a useless debate on the philosophical nature of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that was an Andreessen backed project. In fact, I didn't know that it was a site rather than a CMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fendercaster Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Being unemployed, I had plenty of time on my hands. While HC was down, I designed and built an IECV (Interstellar Exploratory Command Vehicle). I'm hoping to launch it on Christmas day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lukenskywalker Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I counted my socks and blessings ( in that order.)Seems I have beaucoup more blessings than socks...I went out and bought some more socks, that killed a little time while I anxiously awaited the return of HC. A day without HC is a day without love, or sunshine or singing little Birdies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
