Well, since he hasnt been around for... ages, i thought i'd let you all know what he's been upto over the past 3-4 months.
Mikey got married.. since then he's been pretty busy with life.. he finished his uni degree in august, and is now working as a systems analyst in Kargoolie for a mining company with his wife michelle. That's putting it all in a nutshell.
Ok.. the long story!
Mike used to be in the Aus airforce as a luitenant... he was an officer, so didnt see alot of real combat action, however, he undertook a Special ops training course with the US marines, and was shot in the leg by a US marine when one of their guns malfunctioned (it was supposed to have blanks) - so he spent 2 weeks in hospital in the US, and then another 9 weeks on crutches, in which time he completed his computer science degree externally from university. He pulled out of the air force with a nice little pay packet (at age 19... was in there since age 15)...
Only took him 3 weeks to find a job... ended up as a systems analyst for West Farmers, situated in one of their ops centers in Kargoolie, Western Australia. His money he had saved from his time in the AF has brought him (not completely) a nice house with ocean views (if you use a telescope with a 2000x zoom lens ) IN THE DESERT! :fight:
But yeah, his life is going pretty sweet at the moment. He doesnt have the net since the price of 56k in kargoolie is approximatelly $85 AU for a 250Mb limit (thats about $50US)
But he's on holidays next week and will be popping in here for a few days so you'll probably all catch him on IRC and or his usual ICQ.
Welp, thats about it!
