Haha. Variable got a hold of me about the Tribes games in development and I decided to clean up DTM site a little and make a FB page. Also setup irc again, #DTMERCS on irc.gamesurge.net

Variable? Haven't heard from him in ages. Ask him to drop in! We'll have pie.

Your pie, sir. Welcome!! How have you been, what are you up to, and all that?
And in case you're wondering where I got this pie thing, this may ring a bell.

Well, that's a big question. Lesse here. I am still in Georgia, much to my dismay. It's slowly been growing on me for the better part of the last decade. Got out of the Corps, Kris got out of the AF, we both started contracting. Bounced between some contracts, went to England for a bit, came back, decided there wasn't much more future in the career path I'd forged for myself so I punched the ol reset button. Luckily, there was all kinds of incidental experience gained in a ten years of being a linguist working for a bunch of different projects, so my current gig is...hrm. Walking the tightrope and all. I am a 'mission integrator,' meaning I get to see what newly deployed toys do, see what new prototypes are intended to do, and work them into existing infrastructure and in a more general sense make a bunch of very focused projects that were never intended to interact play nice with each other. It keeps me on my toes, and I am thoroughly entertained. Kris is going to college for research chemistry, having lost her taste for the family trade. The kids. well, the plural in itself is news I suppose. Last time we all spoke there was Angie. Now she's nine, and there's Thomas and Nathaniel, 7 and 5 respectively. Today is the last day of school and in a few months they will all be in the same Elementary school.
So that's 04-Present in a nutshell. How's tricks on your end? I have to say I was surprised to see quite so many recent posts by the old hands. I always wistfully spoke of how tight we were, as a group, but seeing everyone still around just shy of fifteen years later.... I was about sixteen when I somehow convinced Napoleon to sponsor me for membership. Boggles the mind.

Well, first, congrats on the kiddos! Glad to see you're getting along well and it does sound like you pick interesting careers... Having only passed through a little of Georgia, I was under the impression that the biggest thing wrong with it was Atlanta. 
My son turned 18 yesterday and is due to graduate (fingeres crossed) in another couple of weeks. Daughter is 15 and doing well. Spousal relations however have soured and I guess I'll be preoccupied with, er, dissolution for the next few months, per earlier post. Survived the financial crisis while working for one of the big banks, which is better than I did in telephony during the dot-com bust. I'm certainly thankful for that! Got into digital photography after a trip to the Grand Canyon in Christmas '06, so that's been fun.
And now I feel guilty for hijacking Gryph's thread.
But worth it to hear from you.

Sorry to hear about your troubles man, but hopefully there aren't a tremendous amount of hard feelings. I've only seen one divorce go ugly where I knew the participants and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Good lord, your daughter probably wasn't even alive to know the time when you were regularly wrecking people with discs to the face. Do you ever tell her about it? "In MY day, man without a jetpack was nary a man at all..."
Don't feel bad about the highjacking. Feel bad about the fact that with my name being dropped all the people that thought "Oh, I'll go Like that group now" suddenly did an about face and headed for the Stumble button.

Heh. It's good to see ol' timers poke in here.
My life has almost been a blur since my wife and I started having kids. I keep telling her 14 is our lucky number, and with the third on the way, I'm not sure if I'm as determined to have 14. (I'm the only dad I know where my oldest son pooped in my eye when he was about 2 months old... so you all know that Asha stories still happen.)
I don't play much, so I've not kept up with everyone's gaming. (Mostly bf2142 and sins of a solar empire). Heck, I don't post as often either. I've been demoted to lurker. Similar to voyeur, but less of a bad connotation.
So... you all keep posting, and I'll keep reading.

It's hard to believe it's been that long, I guess. 04 to present... divorced, remarried, have 3rd baby.. (11, 7 and 2 now) Did a short stint with the FAA, and now and working in Logistics and transportation. That's the gist of the last 7 or so years..
