Floating around

[Neishai]

Hey guys.

I was in an old email inbox looking for something else entirely and found an automated email from this forum. It got me feeling a little nostalgic. It's nice to see some posting still going on, and a few giveaways since I last logged in! Anyway, I've got nothing to report on my status with the Nexus. There's nothing really to say because I haven't really touched anything since the time of my last posts. But I did want to drop by and say hello. So, Hello. :)

I know how you feel! Nice to see others poking their heads in at around the same time as me! Hey there!

o/ Neishai, good to see you around, even if you're just poking your nose in.

Hey guys!

How is life treating you? More positive than negative, I hope. :)

I've been mulling it over a bit since I posted several days ago. I think this is something I'm always going to come back to. For one thing I've vastly expanded my capability to create websites, including ones that can be populated using XML and JavaScript. It would make filling in profile pages much easier. It could become one of those things I keep changing the layout without messing with the core content, haha.

But also a lot of my characters are literally ten years old. Yagami, my covelord, is one of those characters. Some are even older because I first got into dragoning in 2000. I think I eased into my first Weyr with TyGryph's help. Thirteen years! :)

It was easy to dismiss something that's been a part of my life for over a decade because other things were going on. But when I start thinking about it, it's part of who I am. Many things I've learned result to some degree from my time spent in the Nexus. A lot of my interests and the direction my career path has taken are also in part because of my time spent with you guys. That's amazing, isn't it?

And as long as the Nexus survives in some form, I'll come touch base, post my updates, etc.

Good to see you coming back! A lot of us have been part of the Nexus for significant portions of our lives, I think. I'll admit that my path has also been informed, even if only a bit, through the interactions I had with other Nexiians here.

I'm currently working on a largescale project for the Nexus, in order to attempt to coalesce all our disparate worlds and species and agencies into a single encyclopedia of knowledge. I'm about half done, all told.

Also, with Dray's urging, I've been creating a mailing list that people can sign up for, that I'll use to send "This is what's happening in the Nexus!" updates.

That's really sweet and pretty significant that you've managed to learn so much based off of hobby/social time spent here... epic, even?

I've been thinking about really old characters (in terms of having had them since starting) and I love the idea of having time have passed in character... some of these guys I need to go back and develop a bit just to show that their seniority is validated somehow.

Coming back to say hi sounds lovely! Coming back to share some of the new talents you have and collaborating would be pretty wicked, too... I'm mulling over how and what we could all be capable of now that we've got a few years into adulthood under our belts! X3 I bet we could go pretty far!
