IS there an IRC archive? Dr. Headphones: yeah, that irc thing was fun (tongue in cheek) at times, wasn't it? Bunnyboy: I do believe it is a comfort to have audio recordings of passed-on friends.

I used to look at them and then delete. I wish I had saved at least one. doctec: that sounds about right - thing is though, i know we didn't start posting the chats to the group until they had been going on for a few years so he may have shown up earlier than '99 Elayne: Participants were Lew, Tom, HNN, Ken D, "LgrAxhandl" whoever that was, Cat, me... Dr. Headphones: llan: i rarely save incoming emails either. but i never reset the option to save sent stuff, so i have lots of replies to him Bambi: I will miss getting all the emails from Klok everyday ... maybe we should ask doctec to forward an email a day from Klok from his archive ;-) Elayne: Or maybe Google Groups doesn't go further back than '99. doctec: luger axehandle was bill johnson, from texas - his voice graces red shift Dr. Headphones: lgraxhandl was the guy from texas who was in "chain saw massacre" Bunnyboy: lgr was Bill...Thompson, was it?

Tweeny: Morte like accessing the National Archives. Loved that about him. ah,clem: if you need any networking help, I'd be glad to try to help, Dave doctec: dr.h.: that's what we loved about him - always more information than you needed, but damn if you didn't admire him for it llanwydd: it took me the longest time to equate his name with the "clockwork dog, Toto" which I was already familiar with cease: that was my experience too doctec: he had the tech sh*t down! Bambi: very true doc. I could always hear him talking on the phone in my mind when he wrote discriptions or expounded on something in email.

Elayne: Is there a way of getting to the Rogue's Gallery via direct link, or do you have to go to the last chat log? Bunnyboy: You east-coasters are stalwart folks.

Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on... cease: get better soon otonotoR: bye, E. LiliLamont: Roto: That's precisely what I thought. Unfortunately, statistically, men are much worse about seeking medical advice. Women pay much more attention to their symptoms, which may contribute to their longevity.

Dr. Headphones: it's the san francisco treat, so try suing someone there ;) cease: does he have a family thats been notified? i guess so by now doctec: the san francisco tort? LiliLamont: Hey, with the anti cancer med I'm on, I have to be alert to deep vein thrombosis. A little over a month ago I fell on my sidewalk (damn branches!) and skinned my knee. No biggie, except that the pain, swelling, and discoloration traveled down to my ankle during the subsequent two weeks will Tom and I were traveling to Chicago. When I got back, I called the VA women's clinic and they told me to go to the ER and they did an ultrasound to check for clots. I felt a little foolish, but they said I did the right thing going in.

Honey : i dont know why he isnt here Rotonoto: absolutely, ken cease: hanging out with people of that nature makes one seem amazingly youthful LiliLamont: I'm surprise he's not here, unless he's a sleepy headed wuss like me. doctec: my body tells me i'm certainly over 40, my mind still thinks i'm 30 llanwydd: stones has been taking anti-pain meds so he may have fallen asleep Honey : he isnt feeling well himself perhaps he could be sleeping Bambi: yes, it does Ken Honey : i know he had told me he wanted to be here and we synchronized time zones LiliLamont: Cat: Are you parents both at the same stage of dementia? cease: he has much to recover from llanwydd: it's pretty late in england Merlyn: I saw "The Conversation" for the first time in Scotland llanwydd: or too early depending how you look at it Honey : 6am cease: he seems the saner one as she is voluble but just babbles about nonsense Honey : in northern england right now Rotonoto: (Nillson sings) "Are you sleeeeping, can you heeeeeear me....?" doctec: i loved it when he ripped open those bagpipes cease: but they can still commuincarte ok with the staff so that's all they need Merlyn: was at a theatre midnight show or something cease: lol doc Rotonoto: that movie made big impression on me, so many intense scenes, playing the sax at the end... cease: i just saw if to the first time recently .rented the dvd after i read the book by the editor cease: doc knows that book. now, its a flick! doctec: great book. great flick.
