      Oi! Beans! I'm still here... but I played a good online game of Unreal Tournament 2004 on my servers with some mates and then I'm back in the .NET stuff for a client.

      One of the (many) benefits of working from home: choose your time to work with your family. We could all do it if it were not for:

      (i) Gordon Broon

      (ii) Middle managers who are so tulip that they are too scared to allow any team to work from home because they are so bad and so afraid of thinking they will lose control...

      Working from home solves so many problems... one can only assume the government would be upset at the loss of revenue...

            Mr Beans! Think of the children....!

            I'm effectively in the office but not working tonight...still playing UT2004 with some mates as the wife is away... however, I did code some Java with the maps as everything in UT is in Java - being a C#/VB man it was effectively learning some IT... just...

            Will do some inheritance of a DataGrid tomorrow for a client... pretty good this OO .NET stuff...and I'm an ASP scripty/utility coder type... might make a career out of it instead of mucking around with me blue chip clients...

            More purchase orders, more purchase orders, purchase orders, more purchase orders, purchase orders, more purchase orders, purchase orders, more purchase orders, ... (the hyperD prayer...)

                  Indeed sir...

                  UT is Unreal Tournament, a first person shoot-em-up but also a multiplayer game.

                  Slightly dated and not as good as some of the newer ones that you may have heard of such as Quake, CounterStrike etc but not one of those huge massively online things such as SecondLife and World of Warcraft etc

                  Here's a link:

                  Wiki UT2004

                  I like it because I can customise maps fairly quickly and my mates and I can have a chat and a beer without the 200 mile drive... (which we do every other month when we meet up...)

                  We use Skype confernce to chat as we play... very good.

                      It's great because I use one of my servers to host a game and we have around 5 or 6 chaps around the UK to join.

                      All fairly simple to operate and quite a good network contention as well.

                      Right, some more DM-Goatswood now.... speak later!
