another lazy 'concatenate all posts' type of thing...

First of all, an apology to everyone I have mailed but hasn't heard
from me (which is a lot of people). Being the fool that I am I trusted
the firm I was working in to actually be competent enough to handle
emails. Cheerfully they announced a 'new link to our Marlow offices,
giving us 64 times the data transfer speed'. Bemusedly they announced
'we appear to be having problems receiving external emails'. Amazingly
they said that we could receive them again. Painfully I punched their
stupid guts in as I pointed out that I have neither received nor been
able to send external emails for my last week and a half. Dickheads.
Anyway, I now no longer work at Xerox so the email address which is up
on my homepage wont work now. So don't try it. No, in fact, _do_ try
it. I want everyone to go to their universitys (anywhere where you
dont pay for a connection) and send them as much stuff to that email
address as possible to flood the system. Hang on, I dont mean, that is
a criminal offence :)

ok, Ive got a hotmail account which should always work (and handle
attachments) and hopefully be getting a new work one soon. Also, my
pipex account is gone too. I really cant be bothered to pay for a net
connection :) Ok, email is now -

gerboa@hotmail.com

forgive me for typing a lot, but I havent put anything up on the
newsgroups for ages, and Im happy as well (as you may find out soon
why).

For any SCEA or SCEI people I would be more than pleased to put up
their code and stuff for SCEE people to see. So if any of you want to
email me, feel free.

Regarding 13 year old programmers - warped geniuses they may be, but I
dont feel they would have the social graces to make working with them
a pleasure; give my disgruntled, possessive, violent adults any day of
the week :)

Once again I apologise to people who havent received my mails; Ill be
correcting that tonight.

Can I put some stuff in here about the cyclone stuff? ok, cool.
Presumable we weont be able to use it in stuff bound for the
coverdisk? Its a real bummer cos I could turn azdventure game into
some sort of huge, brain-numbingly annoying game, rather than the
small scale annoyance it is now :( And regarding the source code, go
on, let us all have a look. I wouldnt do anything with it, but its a
nice gesture you know.
