Hello everyone,

I'm going to be very, very busy until at least the 24th of August. I'm moving out of my internship and back to home next week (which means I'll be packing until then), once I'm home I'll be off on a family vacation, and once that's done I'll be flying to Korea for the fall semester (studying abroad). I have no idea where things will go from there. I'll still pop my head in the forums from time to time until then, but don't expect any code updates until at the 24th, at least. I'd like to fix a few things in UPS before I shove off to home, but it's on the condition that I feel packing is progressing quickly enough.

Once in Korea, I'd like to spend the usual amount of time with lua as I have the past few months, but I can make no guarantees. It's a whole new country and I really have no idea how my days will be structured.

As you may have noticed, JamminR is also off, he's currently enjoying his big, new house without us. Just kiddin' JamminR. :P

So to sum up, the team is all unavailable for a time. We're not planning on dropping any of our scripts, just put up with us as life progresses.

Lots of love,
  Your friendly neighborhood Team Ulysses.

I have two working computers, but still won't be online as much. Much unpacking to do, and, a favorite desk of mine broke a leg during the move. It's particle board, so I'm going to try to find a way to replace it. I'm not much of a handy man when it comes to carpentry, so it may take a while.

Make sure to rest frequently. Over exterting your arms over the ocean could be a bad thing.
When you rest, make sure to use blankets to warm the arms. Icing can be a problem at higher altitudes.

     - Kidding? I don't see how that could be a problem. Seems like it would be less work being farther away from earths core hence less gravity. Lol

Quote from: Wikipedia "Earth Gravity" article
an increase in altitude from sea level to the top of Mount Everest (8,850 metres) causes a weight decrease of about 0.28%.

Even at cruising altitude,  even with .28% less weight, Megiddo is still going to have to flap his arms darn fast to keep speed and altitude.

Argh. Delta was an hour and a half late so I missed the connecting flight to Korea. Now I'm in limbo in San Francisco until tomorrow...

Sorry to hear that Megiddo.
I just love the customer service you get most times too. "Oh, here's a meal voucher, and, we can't guarantee you'll have a seat on the next flight because we overbook that flight."

Actually they didn't even give me a meal. Because there were three airlines involved (Delta, United, Asiana), no one wanted to admit the blame. And there's only one flight out per day...

Lucky for me my bro lives nearby. :)
