Out of all the hobbies, the one most visible at the moment is photography. Just bought a new DSLR a while ago, and the finnish summer is short so I try to take the most out of the sunny days now.
I used to have an xsorbit forum too, they suck big time lol
Well done mate!
AMY! Get a tighter leash on this one!
true. At least the people I know with boards got out before they went out of business but they really screwed a lot of people around.
OK, here's one: Does Lordi rock?
Thanks
BUT - it was great to be at Senaatintori when they performed there right after they won the Eurovision Song Contest
Sad Finland did so bad this year. It was actually a good mix of different genres. Not that I'm into Eurovision Song Contest, but I'm forced to see it every year
Who's your favourite character on The Simpsons?
Favourite Episode?
And what's your thoughts on Futurama?
And also I really can't name one particular episode as my favorite, after seeing them all multiple times.
I do like the way the series has evolved from the first episode to the latest season, but still I guess I'd have to go looking
for the best episode in some of the first seasons.
Futurama ain't bad, but not as good as the Simpsons.
For most people, including myself, Futurama is preferred more than The Simpsons.
On account of my recent workload...
I work in the security of a government agency,
and I handle the access control environment of another.
Part of the reasons behind this decision were the recent problems within the team, that I believe most people already know something about. I will however, not go further in to that subject here, at the moment.
The other reasons are personal. I am in a position where I would soon be unable to keep up my performance, and
my community presence here, and would have been forced to go on hiatus anyways.
This is not a final goodbye though, I have stated that I may be back on the team in the future,
if all things go well, and I'm still welcomed after my upcoming absence.
I wish the project, and the community all the best - and wish that you know, I am not completely
abandoning you guys
I only wanted to say it is partly behind my resignation - but that's it for now.
You are unforgettable IMO. Best wishes for you.
Farewell
EDIT: Post 2000
Good luck in anything you do Lex!
Well, I hope that everything works out for you, and I really hope that you return. Best of luck, Lex.
But your not on the grey side.
