General Comings and Goings

I'm away on holiday from tomorrow til Tuesday, with no guarantee of internet access (and other things to do even if I have it http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" />)

[ccexplore]

Out of curiosity, is this just personal vacation, or is there some sort of Kiwi national holiday around this time?  (Hmm, apparently Chinese New Year is also around the corner but presumably that's just coincidence.)

Have fun, Clam!

There's a (minor) event on, but really this is just an excuse for an extended weekend break http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />

I posted this on the IRC about a week ago - in fact, I got the call the day after I posted http://www.lemmingsforums.com/index.php?topic=493.msg19318#msg19318" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">my plan for ClamLix http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/laugh.gif" alt=":D" title="Laugh" class="smiley" />. But now the timing is confirmed, so here it is for everyone:

New job. New town. Leaving home (cue mad rush to my profile page to check my age http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />).

Essentially, new life. Starting in two weeks.

Where Lemmings fits in is anyone's guess. But this place is my home on the internet, and level designing is my #1 creative outlet, so I have no intention of abandoning either. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />

Exciting.  Good luck on your new life! http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" />

I'm sure you will at least find time to post on a forum game or two, although hopefully it won't come to that point (then again maybe it's a good thing depending on what you have going in non-Lemmings part of life).

Congrats on the new life, Clam. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" /> Hope it gets off to a flying start!

Hello again! *waves*

Things have settled to the point where I feel I have time for Lemmings again http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />. And the forums work. And my internet works. Fun times http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />

Now seems like a good time for a change that, frankly, has been coming for a while (i.e. everyone calls me this by now anyway) http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />. Plus a new addition to the Beach Clam avatar gallery http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/laugh.gif" alt=":D" title="Laugh" class="smiley" />

Well, it was never in doubt that you are no spammer, but the lack of a victim in your latest avatar is somewhat of a (small) letdown...... http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/undecided.gif" alt=":-\" title="Undecided" class="smiley" />

...hmm maybe spam (as in the meat product) should be the latest victim depicted in the avatar, for logical/symbolic reasons. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/winktounge.gif" alt=";P" title="Wink-Tongue" class="smiley" />

I'm going on vacation in the US for two weeks, departing a week from now. Not the time of year I'd have picked to go to Arizona, but there are family reasons behind this (of the happy variety, not that other sort http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />)

[Prob Lem]

Nice - hope all goes well. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" />

Hi Clam,

I bet you are going to go and see the grand canyon.  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" />

Hope you have good time in america.

If you do see the Grand canyon or any national parks there; I recommend it; they are pretty spectacular.

Just keep in mind; it's extremely hot; especially this time of year. Of course maybe it's that hot in NZ for all I know.
while your there; [if this is a thing that they don't have in NZ, I know it's sort of rare in my area] try corndogs!

[Clam]

Grand Canyon is definitely on the to-do list http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />
It most certainly is not that hot here in NZ (different hemisphere = opposite season). It's 40°C there and more like 40°F here!
And we have corndogs here, but we call them hotdogs. And what they call hotdogs we just call a sausage. (I'm working on learning the "US English" language http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />)
