	Vacations... If you are going to be away for a while please post it here Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I will be vacationing and mostly away from net access from 6/23 - 7/4. If anyone needs something out of me before then, better get in the request now...

I will be gone from June 28 to July 25. I hope to wrap up discussion on tech and ecology before then.

Should it concern anyone, I'll be briefly gone from July 20th to August sometime. Hopefully, there'll be a decent draft of the piracy idea by that stage, though.

I'm outa here. If you need to get in touch with me before 7/5, just post a note on the forum. I won't be able to check in frequently, but expect to do so every 4-5 days or so.

Have Fun!

Have a good one Mark. Be sure to take your laptop and code feverishly throughout the vacation. That should prove very relaxing.

Hi Everybody:

Well, I returned from vacation, but now I'm going off to a conference. I will probably be able to get to the forums there, but won't be able to read my email until next wed.

My computer at home was dead this morning. So I won't get any email or be able to post much until I figure out what's wrong.

Just so you know I'm not ignoring you

I'll be drafting legislation in the nation's capital from 7/23 thru 7/28....or maybe I'll just check out this year's intern crop....which is the same thing, near as I can figure!

After a month of vacation in Germany and the surrounding countries, I am finally back at home. In Europe I saw a lot of stuff, learned a lot of stuff, and got quite a few new ideas for Clash. In addition to this, I need to catch up on a missed month of discussion, so you all will probably be hearing a lot from me in the near future as I get back into the project.

I am going to be away from Saturday to Tuesday at least. I will probably be away (with short intervals) for the whole month of August, but I have no definite plans.

A piece of advice for all Clashers (and civers in general): (at least of the northern hemisphere) Go away, to someplace far. There is nothing to do in your home in August, except rotting in front of a computer, while the others are busy making a sun-tan.

I'm back for a day!
Thursday evening I'm taking the ship to Ios island.
I will be back sometime next week for a day or two and then off to the beach again!

Well, Ios was great, but it made me catch a cold, which I overlooked for the last week, until it got the best of me. I got sick yesterday, so I decided to come back to civilisation for a couple of days to recuperate. I will be in Athens until Saturday morning (local time), so we can do some more work together.

Can't keep away for long, can I?

I'm finally leaving Tuesday morning. My departure was only postponed the other day. I'll be back Sunday evening. This will be my last week on vacations.

Thanks everyone! Actually, I'm 41... Probably you got the info from somewhere that's out of date.

I am reading and thinking about everything that has been discussed since I took off. I am trying to work out a high-level proposal for what we should do regarding all these issues. I think getting a solid overall plan based on compromises that everyone can buy into is much more important than the details at this point. So anyway, although I may not be posting responses to individual issues, I'll be around. I expect to have my proposal up by early in the weekend if not sooner.

Ouch...my vacation turned out to be a little more extended than I initially thought.

Oh well, for those of you who care, the argumentative git (aka, me) is now back. Yes, I know that's the exact opposite of what this thread is about, but this still seemed like the most appropriate place to mention it...

Nice to see lots happened while I was away. That means even MORE catching up to do. Grr...

I'll be away at a conference Thurs thru Saturday (10/7)

After that, well, I'm not taking a vacation, unfortunately, but I have a whole lot of real life going on over the next month or so... So I will not be able to keep up with everything I'd like to do.

If there is something anyone Needs me to do, feel free to bug me . But no promises as to whether I'll be able to come thru with whatever you want . But at least I'll be made aware of it.

Guys:

I'm sorry I've been out of pocket this past weekend.

Work deadline this Friday.

I still spend about a half hour a day reading/listening, I just won't be as loud-mouthed as usual until after this weekend.

On the bright side, I've got an alpha version of the resource/infrastructure data model structure coded. We can think about putting together a simple Gui to do some testing with that this weekend.

I've not been very active lately due to some real life catching up.
The next couple of months I will probably not be able to participate very much. I've got to finish my thesis, and must have my priorities straight.
Will still be reading, but probably wont contribute much until next year

Sorry to hear that Beör, but as you say, one must keep in mind the priorities of things... Good Luck with the thesis.
