I'm back! :) Hey everyone

Hi Folks.
Long time no speak/message huh! Some of you may have noticed over the past couple of days that I have re-commenced playing DODS and catching up with my fav online gaming community....BkW
Hope you all have been keeping well I have certainly been busy - but the main enabler has been a new PC which allows me to play games once again without all the issues of my old one!
For those who like their specs, the new rig is;
- CM HAF XM Mid case.
- Gigabyte LGA2011 Mobo (X79-UP4)
- Intel i7-3930K CPU
- 32GB Quad-channel Corsair Vengeance DDR3 (low profile)
- Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 cooler
- Intel 520 series 480GB SSD
- WD Black 3TB HDD
- Corsair AX760i Platinum Power Supply
...and my old AMD HD5870 GFX and 24" Dell IPS monitor
Back in the game! lol Been great to (see) catch all the old gang to-date.
The family are all well...oldest boy is now at High School (can you believe it). New job is going well (but busy) - and we should have the (Mrs) Strider Beach Holiday House built in about 6 months (finalised plans and start on site by EOM). Great Blitz rates assured
Here's some of my photos/videos for you to whet the appetite to holiday Down Under and have a drink with us!
Swimming Beach (and Dunes) - ~400m/440yards from home

Surf Beach/Coastline - ~900m/985 yards from home

And tourist info for the island (about 90 minutes drive from Melbourne) including the famous Fairy Penguin parade!

Other than that, I have also been busy (last year - not so much since Xmas) running wpdownunder.com (my tech blog on MS). Had as high as 7K unique hits there on my busiest day and if you want to buy an MS product online there (like Win8 or a Surface) - make sure you click on my links on the site (at no extra cost to you) and it will help my running costs! lol
That's about all folks - look forward to saying hi in-person in game in the regular old timezones (weekends+early morning US time).
Thanks a lot to those of you who kept in-touch
Strider.
