    Congrats on the newbie, Gareth!

    [edit] our first was out in a half hour - maybe it's the time of year - he was born in early January too. However, his brother took his sweet time to make an appearance.

    Cheers, all - and yes, theshadow2001, I plan to get the snip. It'll hopefully be done with a little more care than in that GIF, though - and with anaesthetic!

    Life has...treated me fantastically well. I got into UC Berkeley, I'm almost graduating, in a happy relationship of two years.

    I miss you guys. Especially the ol' Bit-Tech BF3 days. That was five years ago and my last post was two years ago.

    What a crazy time. So, who's still around?

    I just sold our old car for £325. Pretty happy that old thing is off of the driveway.

    70% of the way to my 3D printer for prototyping i've also now found a company that will do cheap low cost runs of my designs in a variety of high quality materials. Cost effective no but its also not going to require thousands of pounds i had initially envisioned. I can print out ideas to tinker with in and when happy get something done in anything from Wax, Plastic, plated brass, Stainless steel, silver, gold even platinum! The latter not relevant

    This has been a pipe dreams for a good 4 years and now it might actually become reality (all be it not profitable which really isn't my intention) its quite exciting actually!

    Broke up with the girlfriend this morning.

    I think I'm more relieved than sad.

    It really is the time of year for it - everyone seems to be breaking up.

    I imagine your choice of thread says much about your feelings on the matter.

    Yup. Certainly does - To both!

    She was starting to ask me to make decisions, knowing what I'd say, and then getting pissed off and mardy. Also ignoring everything I said, assuming I was wrong, and going around me to try and get a different answer. Oh, and telling me that I don't know my own parents as well as she does when she's only spoken to one of them!

    Enough of that, I think.
