Topic: Where have all the Inmates gone? (Page 1 of 3)

Checking up on the Happy World Graphic Design Day post, expecting a party- I noticed there have been no posts in the Asylum (except spam) in 3 days! Is this it, the end of the run? Who let all the inmates out?

My, how the mighty have fallen!

Still here, patroling these abandoned halls...

VPs mop is gathering dust, and I haven't seen the Nurse in ages.

Stash of pills running low.

Occasionally, I still hear the crackle of electricity deep down in the basement, and what sounds like
muffled screams...so I assume that Master Suho is still...researching things... *shivers*

Seems to happen every year around this time. I think it has to do with the recurrence of Spring and people getting out for wild romps through the fields and flora (Hopefully with a Fauna).

-- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.

I'm checking the Asylum daily but have had an insanely busy life for the last 6 months. All is good though.

All questions seem to get answered but I agree with hyperbole that it's most likely the time of year.

A bit of sunshine after a most dreary winter and the next thing you know whiter than white people are blinding each other ...there ought be a law against day-glow skin.

I come and go. I read a lot more than I type. I would type more if I felt I had something more worthy to contribute. I still chime in with spurious postings when I'm in the mood.

It's nice to know there are others still floating around the forum, reading quietly.

I check here nearly daily, but I don't have much to talk about... I occasionally post when I spot an interesting conversation, or one that I can contribute to.

----------------------

Still here.

Been humping along in some really crazy directions lately. Right now I'm getting into waveletes (DWT) and JPEG stuffs (specifically DCT).

Every time I get the urge to sit down and write a series tutorials about the last thing I was working on, something new comes along and consumes my brain cycles.

There hasn't been any interesting posts in ages, it's mostly "I need help with x" at the moment, and I can rarely answer those :P

Cheers,

Yeah, I'm still around every day... people have diversified though... I mean I spent my days on the intersection of machine learning and bioinformatics... hardly the hot topics around here, especially since I've always shunned the philosophy and silliness tower

Among other things I've been integrating Atlassian Jira, MS Sharepoint, HP ServiceDesk and creating interactive tools/reports for Sharepoint with Adobe FLEX.

I still check in for my pills every day.

I still check the list of topics in the QuickChanges most days, sometimes I miss a day or two, but I typically don't have time to post anything. I can't remember the last time I did anything web and/or graphic related... I have plans for something, just no time (same story as most I imagine).

Spending my days deep in .NET, trying to wrap up a couple releases at work, and at the same time come up with ideas for new projects so I have something to work on after the current ones wrap up.

it's not just the asylum, all of the web has become very asocial in the last years.

Been deep in studying but i drop in on a daily basis and read the QC (@TP lots of machine learning this semester ^^).

I always check in at least once a day if and when I have an internet connection, which, so far, is averaging out at about two weeks per month.
This is one of the busiest times of the year for me which reminds me to wish everyone a happy Beltane

... I must have been absent that day... wanders off to look for an RSS feed in the cafeteria

the feed has been plagued for me by not updating on thread posts... someday I have to get around to those fixes I promised a year ago...

Me has twin boys, age 2 now.

They make sure that Webbie has no free time.

Hahahahahaha...

"free" time...

Where be mah pills?

I still pop in (at least weekly)... don't know if it matters much though as I'm more of an "asker" than an "answerer".

Still around, but I'm in redroys camp... not much to offer except in the photog section... now that's quiet... only 4 posts in total this year

You mean that automatic daily food dispenser isn't working as advertised?

It still needs to be filled every once in a while.

Well crud... Guess we need to start work on an automatic food generator to go with it.

Or maybe we just need to get the basement squid to stop stealing your grub.

Yeah, it is gaining a lot of weight since Emps stopped playing with it...

maybe we can steal Suho's lab equipment to rig something up to exercise the squid....that way it will not eat all of Wolfen's food.

Emps! Now there's an inmate I'd like to see here again.

Call me an ol' sentimental fool, I don't mind. This place has become more than "just a forum" to me. There are people who have walked these corridors that I really do miss. We may have not met physically and only exchanged the odd orange word or two but quite often that has been enough. Simpatico, an unspoken shared experience, a nod of acknowledgement from the spirit within us all.

It may seem churlish to name some of the people I'd like to see here more often but I will anyway This is just off the top of my head and is by no means exhaustive, and only slightly alphabetical.

Where are you:- Asptamer, Bodhi, briggl, Bugimus, cfb, docilebob, dms, Dracusis, Eyezaer, fig, Gilbert Nolander, jstuartj, jung, krets, kuckus, lasun, Mahjqa, Moonshadow, Moth, Norm, Pugzly, Ramasax, reitsma, RhyssaFireheart, Rinswind, Ruski, Shiizzzam, sib, synax, weadah, wrayal oh yeah, there's yannah too.

Hang on.... I'm sending out a search party for these dudes too, I miss them.
Amerasu, JKMabry, Lacuna, skaaarjjj, slime, Steve, Trib, wez, Grythus Draconis, Moon Dancer.

Having said all that...

I'm so glad these wise inmates are still around, I'm a better person for walking the odd mile or two with you fellahs.

WebShaman, DL-44, Petskull, Tyberius Prime, po1, White Hawk, Arthurio, Lord_Fukutoku, War J, Suho, Ian, redroy, Wolfen, Arthemis, CPrompt, Grumble, Blacknight, NoJive, hyperbole, Sleeping Wolf, reisio, twitch.

OK I bet I've missed a lot of people, but that's just due to my absent mind, not my lack of appreciation, and I'm only stopping now because it's late.

It's only natural, time changes everything, it's what you do with it that counts.



[edit] I keep on remembering more inmates to include....I'm stopping now else I'll never sleep [/edit]

The Squid probability ate them. Quick...someone get a tablet pen... we might still be able to save them!

(on an off note...the amount of change and know how of my self from now and the last time I posted here is. . .quite interesting. The Effect of this place on me double so.
Good to see it still exists , even if that existence (at the very least) is between the dimensions of Still here and no more. )

Still here, popping in regularly...just going through a very hard personal time though.

Hang in there bro.

Let me see...Emps will appear, when Wacko runs nekkid down the hall, VP takes up his mop and DG returns to the Garden...and then Shizzzam will hand out pills to everyone, and Your Final Moments will return...

The squid probability... I like it. That determines the odds that the squid will make an appearance in any given thread, right?

Nice trip down memory lane WS
