you last visited...

So I've been MIA, similar to Radical, but mine's been a longer...leave of absence to say the least. So whats my excuse? Did you guess I had a kid? HA not quite. Maybe I should have ...would've been a lot less work :)

I'm no longer in helpdesk support/IT support, I'm now a programmer/security officer/network architect/god knows what else now and been learning a ton of languages (some php, some c#, LOTS of vb, some javascript, and a few others) -- for those of you ..um...newbies? I hated programming in the past and avoided it at all costs ...yea, not anymore. If that wasn't enough, reading up on neurology (a career change? we'll see, unlikely though). Just recently I was caused this mess along with some sweet process automation (from 4 hours to 5 minutes). I helped a co-worker/friend of mine run for judge (did the site and other things of that nature and she won, yay) and a 'business partner' triple his sales in 2 months (and I'm gettin a cut!). So I've been working like a dog but its been fun. Oh and I live downtown now :) got a girl that's got me into dance class (foxtrot, maringa, hustle, swing) and thats going rather well. On top of that, I still do car work -this weekend- in fact on my battle cruiser. She does a 14.7 in the 1/4 mile @ 95.2mph. Not bad for a 2 ton sled.

So there you have it, 2-3 years in a (poorly organized) paragraph. Whats new with you?

its my nickname, given to me long long ago when in beta2 of a little known game called counterstrike a person with the screen name "viper" entered a room with a pistol occupied by 3 terrorists :guns: and came out with a band new ak-47 ...never shot and only dropped once :) A comment was made "that was fubar" and then it morphed into "here comes fubar" annnnddd it stuck from there on out (a friend of mine was in the server and started calling me that at school some 6 years or so ago). It's kind of a style now...oddly enough.

I've been busy too :eek:

I finished a 20 year marriage in June of 05,

moved out and played for a while,in Los Angeles

around sept of 05 I looked up a woman that I dated in high school (30 years ago)
she happened to be single too !

well to make a long story short,we are madly in love and I moved up here to Sacramento to be with her,my company was able to transfer me up here,

as a matter of fact on thurs of this week I made some more changes!
I finally filed for divorce and got a vasectomy! :cool:

I have gotten many more tats ,,,,

my life is good and I could'nt be happier!

Hey Fubarian, Crazyman.

Good to know you're doing well guys.

Speaking of avatars, I'm surprised you're still using that one Fu.

I think it was one of my first ones. ;)

Yup.

When I came back I decided to take up the handle I now use in my City of Heroes websites and other tech forums to make things easier for me, and also to symbolize a fresh start here. :)

Well, assuming you didn't do the fubarian thing and take "gas until you see god, then brake" literally, was there any other reason for the change?

disclaimer : fubar never, EVER drives like that...ever. It's why he drives a 'sled' thats not fun to drive.

btw, we need more web programmers here...google's api is irritating me.

Well... I was gone for about a year... just recently came back and took up the new name to go along with the new start.

That's the politically correct, brief, version. ;)

And before anyone the guessing starts, it had nothing to do with the administration of WD, nor change in such. The decision to leave was motivated by personal reasons.

Allow me to translate:

3fingers was going to win MindTrap, so Deity paid me off (in Krispy Kremes) to leave WD for a while, forcing an early ending to the game. :D

LOL!

500 questions I think it was... "early" indeed :p

But hey, you got a good shot at the second run, don't you?

Oh wait... that's right... you don't have a chance since I joined up last week and managed to get from last to 2nd place within a couple of matches. :cool:
