Hello again

Sigh. Figures that the one real problem of the move would be that the people in charge of handling my home internet access don't know why it isn't working, tried to put the blame on my computer (until a second computer was tested and had the same problem) and generally don't know how to work with System 10.2 anyway. I will have fun with the technician on Saturday if he can't figure out anything (one's been out to the apartment already) and even MORE fun with the billing department since I've had no service at all for almost two weeks.

So though the work part of my day will eat, in terms of getting back to the damn net again, I am most happy! Hello all! And having no net did mean I was able to concentrate on moving in almost completely and getting everything unpacked, sorted and looking good...

Welcome back Ned. We've missed the Neducation.

Welcome back!

Ned Raggett, now there's a blast from the past. I remember you, welcome back!

Hi Ned!

― Sean (Sean), Thursday, 2 January 2003 16:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

I remember you

I now picture Kilian looking and sounding like Sebastian Bach.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 January 2003 16:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Neddiepoo!

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 2 January 2003 16:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sweetums. You know, having seen LOTR five times now, I still smile a bit whenever the one kid that Mark S sez was you at Helm's Deep appears.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 January 2003 16:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hi, Ned! Glad the rest of the move went smoothly. And thanks for updating me on all the info a couple of weeks back.

― Arthur (Arthur), Thursday, 2 January 2003 17:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I will have fun with the technician on Saturday if he can't figure out anything (one's been out to the apartment already) and even MORE fun with the billing department since I've had no service at all for almost two weeks.

I'd swear I was hearing AOL woes, except I know you were too wily to be caught in the void. Welcome back....now I have another head to swing my hatchet at.

Oh, and be persistent with the billing dept, as they will be quick to try to avoid refunding you.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 2 January 2003 18:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

hello Ned!

Back to school everyone, 2003 time to get re-neducated! (or something)

I saw the Two Towers, it was okay.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 2 January 2003 18:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

I saw the Two Towers, it was okay.

Just OK? Jel, time to sit down with Cliff's notes and a bottle of white wiine....

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 2 January 2003 18:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah, there wasn't enough Liv. Apart from that it was good! :)

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 2 January 2003 18:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Welcome back, Ned! What with you and Mark being away for a while, I've been topping the charts = ILX has been a bit rubbish.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 2 January 2003 18:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

N. is top Martin! I have made 404 posts in the past 30 days, yet I don't remember being on ILX much!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 2 January 2003 18:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK. I don't check often - I was top for a while, though.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 2 January 2003 18:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

(eek, my last post looks a little mean, sorry 'bout that!)

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 2 January 2003 19:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Gosh, you are all so competitive!

(Welcome back Ned mate!)

― C J (C J), Thursday, 2 January 2003 19:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hi Ned!

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 2 January 2003 19:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

ILE just isn't the same without Ned. Welcome back!

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 2 January 2003 19:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

yay! hey, Ned, did you get your Pazz & Jop invitation? email me your ballot!

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 2 January 2003 19:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

I did get the ballot, thanks. E-mail you, eh? Can be arranged! (And hi back to everyone. :-) )

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 January 2003 19:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

― Kawaii KoNeko (Kawaii KoNeko), Friday, 3 January 2003 21:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Welcome back Ned! I missed you so much, I am writing a song on my new album for you -- maybe then I can Justify you and you can Neducate me.

― Justin T. (Nicole), Saturday, 4 January 2003 00:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned and J Timberlake,
Now how heavy is that?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 4 January 2003 00:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

oh baby!

― felicity (felicity), Saturday, 4 January 2003 00:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

Which reminds me...wasn't somebody supposed to write some Ned/ILX slash?

― j.lu (j.lu), Saturday, 4 January 2003 00:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned having sex with all of ILX?

― Justin (Nicole), Saturday, 4 January 2003 01:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned may be a ho, but he's our ho.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 4 January 2003 01:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

bye bye bye, Justin. We ILXoRs have dibs on Ned.

― felicity (felicity), Saturday, 4 January 2003 02:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

*Sobs!* Now I'll have to go cry myself a river!

― Justin (Nicole), Saturday, 4 January 2003 02:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

omigod, I have only just now personally realized that the *asterisk* thing Ned does seems especially Nedlike because of Peanuts! Like when Schulz draws the pointy things around the characters thinking *sigh* -- or has that always been totally obvious to everyone else?

― felicity (felicity), Saturday, 4 January 2003 02:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

I had never thought of this before, but it's true.

― Nicole (Nicole), Saturday, 4 January 2003 02:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

say wha? pointy things? *confused*

― Kawaii KoNeko (Kawaii KoNeko), Saturday, 4 January 2003 06:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned having sex with all of ILX?

Best housewarming party evah.

― j.lu (j.lu), Saturday, 4 January 2003 16:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

*pointy things*:

lucy do you hate ned?

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 4 January 2003 22:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

that's excellent rebecca!

Linus has somesort of way-futuristic laptop!

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 4 January 2003 23:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Or they've been squatting in Ned's house and think he's too nice for them to bother hiding when he gets home.

― Graham (graham), Saturday, 4 January 2003 23:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

(A point they'll soon be Neducated on I'm sure)

― Graham (graham), Saturday, 4 January 2003 23:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

I decided Lucy hated everyone so it could be left. (And I am lazy and "yay" looked rubbish and "ahem" made just as little sense and taking it out would defeat the entire point of the clip.)

― Rebecca (reb), Saturday, 4 January 2003 23:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thanks to the COCKFARMING BASTARDS who can't figure out what is wrong with my home broadband connection, I have only just now seen all this. Ya nutty people, you. ;-)

Hadn't thought about the Schulz connection but you might be onto something there. A drawing of Snoopy that The Man Himself did for me when I was very small is now hanging on the wall at my new place and can be viewed whenever the housewarming happens.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 5 January 2003 21:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Who are you, again? ;)

― dwh (dwh), Sunday, 5 January 2003 21:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Bah! Go rail against vanities in Florence, you mad monk.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 5 January 2003 21:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

I love you really, sub-ed Ned. "*smile*"

― david h (david h), Sunday, 5 January 2003 22:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Help help!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 5 January 2003 22:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Oh yeah, and I've decided to switch service to DSL -- if the broadband folks can't figure out what's going on, ain't no point in continuing with 'em.)
