Let's give this a go...

Message from Steven - Primitive Radio Gods

I actually found something quite funny as I was searching for song titles. Apparently, The Organ decided to write a song and call it by my full name - Steven Smith! The lyrics made me smile too:

Steven Smith by The Organ

As I was saying, I know that I've been one of the few who walked away from you, Steven Smith. We all lose. One look at you and they're suddenly covered in shrapnel too. It's true. Most die in your bedroom.

And here's me and a friend of mine at a recent party. Yeah... I'm George Michael, baby!

OK - it's working now. Not sure what happened there...

Here's me at a friend's wedding recently.

Having trouble posting a pic, but there'll be one here soon.

EDIT: I can't attach any files. When I hit submit or even preview after attaching the file to my post, nothing appears. Is anyone else having this issue?

Could the skin packs be uploaded again? I'd be very grateful if someone could make these available once more.

Mystic - my alien brother! It looks like the once feared League Against Nali is getting back together again. Cue that A-Team montage soundtrack...

I'm downloading UT2004 from Steam as I type this, so should be on the server tomorrow.

Brother Em! Good to see you again!

Life is good, buddy. Moved house twice since the UT days, drove my car into a wall, got a couple more tattoos and developed a rather unhealthy obsession with Guitar Hero and Rock Band. But hey, it's a character flaw and the first step to recovery is admittance...

Do you still play on the UT2004 servers? I'm considering getting UT2004 from Steam as my discs have vanished, and I hardly think that my laptop (Samsung R700 for those who give a flip) could handle UT3. Mind you, I take it that my character stats have gone from the server too... sniff...

Are you lot still here? Wow... it's like I've never left!

How the devil is everyone? It must have been a couple of years since I last played on the DC servers, but after sitting around feeling bored and unstimulated, I thought I'd catch up with the old chaps here.

Pink is the new black, baby!

I have to admit that I'm an incredibly vain person, and spend far too much money on clothes and the such like. Although I own several pink items, I don't think I'm ready to take the plunge and get myself a Miami Vice pastel pink loose suit and white loafers...

But I am tempted...

As I've yet to experience the delights and sufferings of children, I forced myself to spend the day with my father.

The old bugger had me networking his computer systems for most of it whilst he watched the France play. Nice...

I guess I get to extract the same revenge on my kids when I decide to settle down. Hehehe...

Thanks, It's great to have a job that is your passion as well. It's sorta like playing baseball (except the 6 figure salery).

After checking out your online resume, I'm incredibly impressed with the artists you've worked with. Blues Traveller, Iggy Pop, Beastie Boys, Lou Reed, Philip Glass... I could go on, but I'd probably bore everyone!

It's always good to see someone break away from the mould and not succumb themselves to the 9-5 struggle.

Considering the bus is the means by which data is transfered to and from the CPU, you ideally want it to go as high as possible. I'd personally consider 800 to be the minimum for gaming, particularly in CPU intensive games such as UT2004.

As your motherboard allows for socket 775 processors, you might want to consider choosing one of Intel's 64-bit processors. Although it can be around an extra $100, you're future proofing yourself and complimenting your DDR2 memory modules. But, if you're happy with 32-bit (and the benefits of 64-bit are still not apparent as the software isn't really out there yet) you might want to look at this CPU:

It was a damn fine show indeed. I spent a couple of days backpacking through Southern France before going north to the gig in Marsielle and headng home that evening.

They play a really good mix of old and new material, and they don't seem to begrudge playing their old Violator stuff, even though they must be bored of that by now.

Nothing terribly exciting I'm afraid. A little of this, a little of that... next thing you know you've moved house, the woman in your life has changed several times and there's that sinking feeling you get that your hairline is starting to rise...

I can back that statement up, but add that people carrying around mobile phones with cameras attached to them are fatal. The pic attached should prove that!

I'm the one on the far right. And yes, it's an 80's themed pub called Reflex that never fails to encourage bizarre behaviour.
