I wish the chat room had an alert system. I keep missing people because there's no way of knowing when someone else is on apart from looking. Sorry to whoever I missed this morning.

that's a good point....most chat-boxes have an alert option of some sort

ok i've had a look in the bowels of the forum and it appears to me that there is no such feature - anyone else have a clue? i don't claim to have a great deal of tech savvy when it comes to forum settings but i can't see any option regarding alerts

Sad news everyone. I just found out that David Eddings died at the start of the month.

Thank you for the stories, Mr. Eddings. Rest in Peace.

I quite enjoyed the Elanium and the Tamuli actually but realisitically the plot and even characters are very similar. That said, I think his best was the Redemption of Althalus, regardless of what everyone else tells me.

I was introduced to David Eddings when I was 13 by my best mate, Thom. I wasn't allowed to read any non-Christian books, especially not fantasy. Thom would lend me his to read at school and occasionally I'd sneak one home to read under my blanket at night (yes with a flashlight :) ). Eddings' stories made a difficult portion of my life bearable. It's a shame this world has lost his physical presence but he won't be forgotten.

Done with exams. We've yet to see if I'll pass them all.

I've even been sober for a bit since exams ended :D

I know too may people turning 21

Well I'm back to my part time job tomorrow, see how much damage they've done in the interim.
