DTOXX

At the age of 18 I had a room mate named Doug. (this point is important - name=Doug) We also had a new guy named Dave move in upstairs. (more on Dave later) Well my roomie worked at a restuarant and had recently transfered to a new location across town right before the holidays. He attended the company Christmas party and low and behold brought home a girl who was well past drunk. They are banging it out in his room and she starts moaning, and moaning, and calling out the name Gary. My girlfriend and I are in the living room just cracking up the whole time. Doug (AKA Gary) comes out a while later to get some water, looks at us and asks "Who the fuck is Gary?" and just starts laughing. The next day we are leaving the apartement and the upstairs neighbor sees us from the balcony. He yells down "Good morning Gary." with this big ass grin on his face. From that day on Doug used the name Gary every time he was about to do something naughty. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Dude, which skies were you looking at? ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

I have to admit that I did not write the "disclaimer" from scratch. It is a medical waiver (top portion) and a fake skydiving waiver (bottom portion) The fake skydiving waiver is a great read however. http://www.orgs.muohio.edu/skydive/HumorDisclamer.html ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Ian is now officially a staff member at RemoteHandsON. LOL His hand is in the I.T. Hand rotation and of course is listed in the About Us section. We are now "International". ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Not a problem, use the upload feature on the Comments Page. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

LOL that is the exact thing we have. "I laid hands on it..." ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

My friends and I had a stupid idea. So of course we had to make a website. http://www.remotehandson.com ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Good luck man. Confidence is key. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Food never!

Well I am in it now. Jan. 10th, fly to Ecuador for two weeks. Three LANs seperated by 300 miles of jungle. Each network is connected with a 2 meg microwave relay. I.T. request that the WAN be impacted as little as possible. Feb. 4th, fly to Qatar for two weeks. Single LAN with remote communications center that (and get this) "should" have TCP/IP up and running by then. While in Qatar finalize installation schedule with United Arab Emirates office for some time in March or April. And to top it ALL OFF, Long Beach California wants theirs in first quarter of the year. At least I get to pick my schedule... The only upside, if there is one, is that if Business Class is full I get to fly 1st class.

Its got worse as the day went on... Background: I have written a peice of software for my company that we use at our local site in California. The company is in truth a large oil company with locations world wide and now some of these locations are interested in using our system. I was asked to provide a demonstration of the system using a video conference together with an online desktop sharing application. (we used WebEx) Well now it looks like the sites in Qatar, Ecuador, United Arab Emirates, and (shudder) Long Beach want it... ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

I received this email today. DT, As discussed after the conf call, we are working on arrangements to host you in Qatar for approx 2 weeks in early February to work with us on a Qatar version of the software. This is pretty much firm and am awaiting final confirmation from the functional people in this area. Please let me know if early February still sounds feasible as far as you are concerned ? Regards, Salim For those who do not know where Qatar is located here is a map. Its the little numb sticking into the Persian Gulf... ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Vibes man. Good luck. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Also be careful not to fall for the Snow Removal Scam... ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

How many male chauvinists does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, let the bitches cook in the dark. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Wow this is timely. My daughter is in the marching band and as such a group of us fathers are the Pit Crew. (we set up the percussion "pit" while the marching band takes the field) Well they are the Highland Scots and yes the pit crew wears kilts. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

LOL Two of these sites are in the middle east. I am NOT about to parachute in... ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy

Thank you all. I think you vibes made the difference. The online meeting went well depending on how you view the results. Pros: all sites liked what they saw and want a "version" of the same for their use.

I am going into the office VERY early today in order to give a Net Meeting to other corporate sites. The "meeting" will display my computer desktop over the Internet while a phone conference call will be underway simultaneously. All of this so that other sites can see a software system I have been developing over the last 4 years. The other sites are located in California, Texas, Ecuador, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Because of the 12 hour time difference I need to be in the office by 4:30am... There is a projected 22 people expected to participate. Wish me luck... {vibes} ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy
