Where did everyone go?
« on: March 06, 2009, 12:44:38 PM »
I know, slam me for not being around more, but I find myself surprised at the general lack of activity in the Coffee House forums (which traditionally have been what keeps Amiga.org going).

Just a seasonal thing, or what?

I check in every day.  I'm just busy looking for work as I get laid off at the end of March.  Speaking of which, does anyone have any hints about looking for work in Oz ?

Sorry I've not been around much - I'm in the middle of planning my move back to plymouth. Things are such up here in sheffield that there is no longer any point in my remaining.

Also my connection is being marginally more unstable then charles manson atm thanks to the weather.

I tend to just live on the IRC channel these days. I check here for discussions about big events though. Like bad ones or stupid ones mentioned in the news to see how the community reacted to it.
AKA ED-209 on IRC...

@ OSS542 I recall you have quite some experience in robotics engineering, right? I am an enginee in Perth. It is pretty tough now. I know when the resources boom was on, there were a lot of electronics jobs from the Eastern states advertised in WA - I guess that would be drying up somewhat, as engineer migrate back out of WA. There may still be some opennings though. Also, have you considered working in an academic environment?

@ the_leander - Hope you don't mind me asking, but how are you going with your home life now? I remember being quite concerned when you brought up some issues in a couple of previous threads? Are you back on your feet alright? Anyway, really hope things are well with you.
Good good study, day day up!

I've mostly been sticking to the front page. I check those more often than not. Sorry Wayne. There's not hate. Sadly, alot of the people that I used to love here, hardly frequent anymore.

I'm still here, though I've been too busy playing EVE online to have time to post. Goonswarm won't be annihilated on it's own.

Still here, but with all the cr@p (personal stuff) that's been happening lately, I just didn't feel like posting anything. Also witnessing the crapfest that was hurled at Red and the increasing number of threads like this, I find that I'm continually distancing myself from the Amiga community altogether.

Well I still have a home, however the ex has stopped any and all contact with the kids. She has made it plain that this will not change as she intends to shack up with a new bloke whome she already has the kids calling dad. So with that in mind, there is simply nothing here in Sheffield that I have left to stay for.

{bleep} happens, simply a case of accepting, moving on and rebuilding. :shrug:

tl;dr

Nothing to see here, move along.

Personally I'm rather busy finishing my study, but hey, I check daily. :-)
