Semi abscent for a while

Post by zicada »

Hey,

As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been around as much as I used to lately.
I'm taking this pretty hardcore summer math / physics course to get into IT Engineering bachelors at Uni cutting off one year, meaning 8 hours of math monday to friday for 6 weeks. I have 3,5 weeks left now,- then I'm moving to another city for Uni. I'm going to have to spend quite a bit of time studying, at least in the beginning, meaning less time to mess around with you guys.

The good news though is that it looks like i might get a place with 100/100 mbit fiber,- meaning BG will be hosted on that from August 4th,- i'd say it's about 80-90% likely i get that place,- i'll post an update when i know for sure.

Until then, you can reach me on IRC as my client is always on,- and i'll try to help you guys with broken bic's, or other tech related things as soon as i can read msg's. This means you have to actually msg me, not just talk at zicada in the various channels. Obviously you can PM too, but i very much prefer /msg on IRC.

The US-mirror is on hiatus until i have the time to really work on it,- hopefully i will have this up and running before the end of September. Long story there, but I had to cancel the first order and find another solution as initial testing wasn't good enough. More to come on that.

So, wish me luck guys, and try not to be too mad if I take a little longer than normal to reply, or appear to actually sleep when normal people do so in my timezone :D

If "math" is code for "online poker", wishing you very, very good luck!

I got the place with 100mbit, now we just have to hope they're not blocking udp or the tcp port(s) or anything silly like that :D
