Right - time to pack and head out to the airport for two weeks away - I doubt I'll have the chance to check in while I'm away ( and actually the idea of two weeks away from the 'net all together is quite appealing! ) - first holiday in > 3 years so I'm very much looking forward to it. If you live within about 100 miles of Malaga, look out for the stupid Brit in a Clio driving on the wrong side of the road
 Nico (nix) is the man to speak to if you have any trouble - and Jason, Bjorn, Michael and Alan are the Moderating team. Panic not - steps are in place to make sure that the place is backed up regularly in my absence. So, be good, be creative, be whatever it is you've been for the last 2 years that makes this place so great and I'll see you in a couple of weeks!! Doug |

Evening ladies - where's my cold slice of Pizza
 Driving on the wrong side of the road was actually - quite cool It ended up being a little VW Polo instead of a Clio, but we watched Dolphins jumping thru the Med before heading off to the Airport yesterday for the flight home - and we got to see some great geology up in the Sierra Nevada ( pics at a later date, but I found a jumbo version of Larry's Lookout  )Congrats and Kudos to the Admin and Mod team - they did a great job of looking after the place, I wasnt worried for a moment - honest  Doug |

Welcome Home Doug
I'll recommend taking a look at the latests flight director updates to begin with

QUOTE (djellison @ Dec 4 2005, 11:07 PM) I know I'll be dismissed as a nutcase for saying this, but I think there are some indications that might point to life (unintelligent, of course) in those images.

Going on the standard of driving around there - I'd certainly argue against intelligence
Just added - http://www.rlproject.com/spain_pan/sierra_3.jpg - the jumbo Larry's Lookout I mentioned Doug |

QUOTE (djellison @ Dec 5 2005, 12:46 AM) Just added - I can see the shadow of the Pancam on that! Very nice shots Doug. Hope you had a good holiday. It seems like the place grew by about 50% while you were away. |
