Hello all!
I am currently in Abu Dhabi (look it up, its in the emirates.. past iraq). This is my first time with access to the internet since I have arrived here, so I decided to post. I should be able to get on IRC tonight, w00t!! Maybe I'll post up some pics later on. smile.gif

Till then,
Adios

My father lives over here, so the family is spending some time with him. It's really an amazing place, and would recommend here, or Dubai (which is where i went last year, its the next emirate over, more flashy) if you need a good vacation spot.

I've been in Dubai. It was quite an amazing experience, but those huge blue farking jellyfish scared the $#!#e out of me, even being a veteran diver.

Enjoy your vacation smile.gif

smile.gif Sounds fun. My father lived their last year as a project manager for Parsons, who was in charge of many things, including the palm and the Berj Dubai. He didn't really like the company or the city though, so he moved to Abu Dhabi and now works for Mubadala. Dubai is fun for diving, but if you actually go to the east coast instead, I guarantee you'll enjoy the diving more. wink.gif

It's my last day here, so I'll be on the forums/IRC a lot more then. I for some reason can't get on IRC from here.. probably because they blocked it. They block everything here sad.gif. Normally I can ssh home to use IRC from there, or even VPN there, but my home server is not online... I'm really hoping the cold weather didnt cause a pipe to burst and flood my house.

Talk to you all soon. PS.. if anybody could tell me if my username is still online on IRC, that would be awesome.

I'm Back. smile.gif

After a long day of traveling.. (literally, it was 25 hours), and the adjust to jet lag, I am back home.

I can't get on to IRC. Any reason?
