Why I have not posted for a while
Yeah, I know, my rate of posting stuff isn't that high at the best of times, but...
Around the end of June, I collapsed at work. I had no radial pulse (no pulse in the arms or legs) and less than a 5th of the normal blood pressure.
I had been feeling weak for a couple of days, and had totally lost my appetite. When the folks at casualty looked at me, it turned out that I'd lost 5 pints of blood, and it was still dropping. For comparison, there's about 10 pints in the average human body.
I was bleeding internally, bigtime. It was caused by a cut or ulcer in my guts somewhere that had hit a vein, and I was effectively eating myself... hence the lack of need to consume anything else. Nice. I kept this up for a while, and spent a week in observation stuck to a drip.
A week later I was out, and had to curb my enthusiasm for weekend alchohol, as well as spending a lot less time sat in front of this computer (I was told that the 'sitting in front of computer' position is not so good for the healing process).
Almost exactly a month later to the day (end of July), I split up with my partner. If we had have stayed together for two weeks longer, we would have made tenth anniversary (that's years).
I'm over the worst of all this, so don't worry. Normal service will be resumed in a week or so when things settle down.... or rather, when I've convinced myself there's nothing else due to hit me at the end of August...
On the plus side, my weekend getting pissed and dancing like a mad fool antics are back to normal. So that's at least one good thing already :)

Wow, what terrible news. Glad to hear that you're on the mend, but sorry to hear the news. Keep you're spirits up!

So sorry to hear that :( Things do seem to happen all at the same time, don't they? Fortunately, that applies to the good stuff - so hang in there til the next time the wheel of fortune turns your way. Try not to stay in that waiting-for-the-next-shoe-to-drop mode though, easier said than done of course, but the key is to do something a bit exhilarating and scary to get your faith in life back ;)

Major bad stuff, good to see your coping with it.
I really liked part 2 of scripting an animation, thanks. Looking forward to part 3, but no rush of course.
When its done could you email me? Thanks!

Clearest description of programming I have ever seen in both the Inspiration & scripted animation sections. Thank you. Look forward to more.

First thing, I really am sorry to hear that. But good thing you have recovered now. I had wrote a couple of emails on your future media account and I waited for long to hear from you, but it was inevitable that I had to find out what happened to you. I think you might consider checking out the url I post on this forum. Besides, I think the emails say it all, so I hope you get well and hope you'll write soon.
