I TOLD YOU TO TELL HER TO NAME THE CAT SHITDUCKER.
I'm finishing 8th grade in like 2 weeks. Gonna have the first important exam of my life in 1 month. Plan on moving in a bigger apartment once vacation arrives. All in all, shit is going well for Bluedy
Currently hoping that my college won't suck once I join
I've been lurking here for years and have downloaded and played all of the dmods.
I'm married, have a child and a grandchild!
Just this spring I've started building my own dmod, which I'm hoping to release this year.
As for employment, my company outsourced my programming work to India at the end of last year and now I'm trying to find work and/or decide if I can afford to retire without having to eat catfood. What kind of online work are you doing?
Please be sure to finish your dmod and upload it so we can all try it out.

As a future Indian programmer, my sincere apologies.
I hope you find a better job than before.

I've just finished up college, so I'm getting things ready for uni at the end of the year. Off to study TV production. Wish me luck, right? Turning 20 in a few months too, so that's craaaaay.
And looking forward to your hopeful releases, you two! Been a lack of dmods lately, love hearing about new ones. Recently finished one I'd been kinda periodically fiddling with over the years, so that should be up soon too.

Taming demons, transcending imposed barriers, unlocking the inner mysteries of life, and trying to enjoy what time I have here. You know, the usual junk.

Once upon a time there was a man called Dink. More of a boy, actually. He killed some monsters and saved the day. The end.
Everyone who read that owes me £0.10p.

I didn't have my reading glasses, so I had to have a penniless hobo read it for me.

How could you be a Dire Wolf and a Dragon?
Think of it as having a sort of gradient triangle thing with human, dragon, and wolf at the corners, and my mindset being based on where it lands in that field. IF that makes any sense.

Relax.
I've been living in the US for the last 3 years, doing a PhD. Yesterday (well, technically this morning), I submitted my dissertation and I'll be defending it in two weeks. Two weeks after that, I'll go back home to the Netherlands.
I've been working with 3-D printers here, and I plan to do that in the Netherlands as well; I want to start a company doing workshops with high school teachers to build 3-D printers for use at their schools. I have been doing some of those here, and it's a lot of fun.

I appreciate your kind words of compassion.
By "future Indian programmer", can I assume you mean that you have not yet finished school?
BTW, I bear no grudge against those who my job was outsourced to. It's the company I work for that bears the brunt of my anger.

shevek, you don't seem to be the kind of person who would actually think you're defending the country when you
"serve" it.
edit: oh, it's an essay. for the 4 people reading this, don't join our military. the country currently uses it to murder.

Yeah, I'm gonna start college this year.
Good to see you drop in MsDink!
My absence here lately is attributed to the fact that I got married two weeks ago today. Still struggling to comprehend how I found a woman stupid enough to marry me, but oh well. Her loss is my gain I guess!
Currently working as a professional barista for a new specialty coffee roastery here in QLD, making great coffee and being rad.
Congrats, BTW Sabre on the young trout. Hope all goes well. Babies are awesome.

Time really flies, it's weird. I always think of you as around 13 and forget that time moves on
I'm working, partly VB.NET programming and partly online retail stuff. Sprog is now almost 2 and there's another one due soon, so that keeps me pretty busy
I think of Dink & D-Modding nearly every day, it's insane, but sadly have no time at the moment to do anything except pop in to the forum now and again.
Apparently I also still use way too many smilies in every post
It's nice to catch up with everyone every now and again like this.
PS
Sabre, you should publish that. Can I reserve a 1st edition hardcover?

I'm in my final year of university, with no idea what I'll be doing afterwards. I hope to have some time next year to allow myself to make a reasonable D-Mod, as I've always wanted to (Silence was far too short).
In university. ~o~
Good to see you're all doing well, especially Sabre and DinkDude \o

Everybody's been growing up, impressive!
As for me, I haven't grown up much at all really. I finally finished my studies a bit over a year ago and have been without a job ever since. So as you could guess life is pretty boring...

I think you've got the wrong person there. But this morning I passed my final exam (the oral defense of my dissertation), so after some formalities I will be.

oral
Because defending dissertation with the other end stinks, and can be open to interpretation.

In response to the original topic, I am attending school for game design. Seeing how it's summer and school is not in session however I am not doing anything at all. I probably should be though.

Uhh...I was abducted by aliens...yeah...and they took me to their home planet so I could be the SUPREME EMPRESS OF ALL!. I just came back to earth to see the new ghostbusters movie...
didnt ya hear? there are girls in it.
didn't you hear? the director has flatout said if you don't watch it/you criticize the movie you are sexist and evil.
that movie is shit
that movie is shit
Wait until you have some grey hair on your head. Then you will REALLY think that "This growing up thing is weird.".
Growing up is a strange thing isn't it..
You find yourself occupied most of the times and unable to write essays about your petty distaste for the new age pokemon masters or how the new ghostbusters movie is all chicks.
..I guess it's just a sign that some of us have a much more eventful life then others.
Doing great at my end though, good to see some others doing good for themselves also!

Maybe you can dig out some stuff from way back, and have a shiny special sticky thread, where you'll post good/wacky/odd/funny correspondence between TDN members

2) Work as a Deputy Headteacher.
3) Not having any energy to write.

if you miss the halcyon days of programming cc2 for 6 hours a day, remedy that by working on cc3 for 12 hours a day
Nice to see some updates!

My next semester starts next week. I'm not really looking forward to it.

@MsDink:
I'm completing some testing on my next dmod release, "Before...". How are you coming along with your dmod?

" figured a name - hes called Chicken (used to sleep in a cardboard box with chicken written on it so i figured its just a word...) "
Ha that reminds me of the chicken we used to have called Tadpole (because she liked to stand in the edge of the pond, eating them). We had another chicken called Schnitzel.
Cats are weird aren't they.
We used to have one called Chess (short for Cheshire), a fat old thing that was named after the Cheshire Cat for his ability to teleport around the house without seeming to move a muscle. Everyone said "oh Chess, because he's black and white, right?" and we'd never even thought of that
Another time we visited the local cat rescue place to look at all the fluffy kittens, and of course came away with a mangy scrawny vicious creature who took ages to trust anyone. We called him Yeti because he was white and he always crouched at the top of the staircase, hissing and swiping at the ankles of everyone who passed.
Anyways...
Pretty much the same going on here, just everything's moved on a bit (except the D-Mod of course). Three young boys and an ever busier job puts paid to that.
I've also got much more into mountain biking, coinciding nicely with having much less time and money, ho hum. Building up a decent bike - more than a year in and so far I have the frame and £30 in the pot lol.

I really am training for a baseball farm league. Either the Detroit Tigers or the Elizabethton Twins. A handful of people have been like yeah right. Which I don't know why, I've played baseball before. So I'm going for the big score. If I don't make it in the try outs this year. I'll try again next time.
