			<description><![CDATA[Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
    I should have written this two weeks ago. It’s difficult to reconcile that it has been two years since we lost Gordon. The sting of loss hasn’t really diminished for me as is usually the case after the passing of time. We don’t meet many people who have the kind of lasting effect that Gordon evinced in most of us who knew him well. My thoughts turn to him much more often than expected. The worst part is that the only condolence I can give that even fits the bill is to say to myself, “I miss you Gordon”, and I say that a lot. <br />
<br />
    Gordon was that rarest of the rare, a genuinely nice and compassionate fellow. He had a great sense of humor, and could give as well as he got. He never crossed the line of good taste even during the “Capacitor” incident with Rob and me. It was the only time I ever heard him angry because Rob and I were putting up such a robust defence. He left in a fit, which was even funnier to us because it was so out of character for him. We were a bit incredulous, because we knew what we were saying. The next day Gordon came back on and somewhat sheepishly apologized for the night before. Gordon knew electronics inside and out, but what we were talking about was outside of Gordon’s experience, simple as that. I won’t go into more detail now but could relate that story and how it started with my going on about something that had happened in my High School shop class in 1977. It was a very funny incident that had occurred that needs to be in a film. What had happened is one of those things that you just can’t make up. Gordon had gone away in a huff, and then had gone and done his own research, and then came back and made amends with his friends. Like a man is supposed to do. Then laughed about it afterwards.  <br />
<br />
    That was simply one of hundreds of interactions that we had with Gordon that so endeared him. I want that back, dammit.  <br />
<br />
    I don’t know what else to say really. We all had our own personal moments with him that meant a lot to each of us, and what I really know for sure is that it is most important that we say something. That it is essential that we perform some kind of honorarium for the loved and lost. It’s what is supposed to make us human.<br />
<br />
    With Deepest Respect, Scott, Feb 26, 2023<br />
<br />
      PS: Thank you to Rob for continuing to honour Gordon with the script on the site. That means a lot.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dear friends,    <br />
<br />
    Our community has lost one of its own recently early on the morning of Saturday, Feb 13 2021 . There wasn’t one of us who had anything but the deepest respect and admiration for our good friend Gordon Vickers. I haven’t met many people who have had the effect on me that Gordon did.<br />
<br />
       About five years ago or so I was speaking with my mother’s friend that she had taught school with many years ago in Alberta. I happened to mention my on-line gaming buddy who I considered a good friend – she asked me how one could consider someone they’d never met a “good friend”. To the uninitiated this seems like a rational or reasonable question. It isn’t. I explained that I’d been speaking in a voice channel with this person since 2005. After that amount of time you get a pretty good handle on who someone really is. The time since that conversation has only strengthened my convictions about Gordon. <br />
<br />
       When our group’s good friend Randy Williams died Feb. 27, 2016 I felt compelled to write something complimentary and endearing about him. Around three or four years ago Gordon brought this up with me and he expressed respect and complimented me on my writing and what I had written, and said that when the time came he would appreciate my doing something similar for him. I do so now humbly honoured, but there is no cheer, or joy – just a sombre and respectful acknowledgement of a person I was so lucky to get to know better, the last 7 years at least. I was very close to Randy, but I became much closer to Gordon, and am finding this affirmation an emotionally very difficult thing to do. <br />
<br />
        As we all know Gordon had been stricken with a debilitating illness and he did his best to stave off the effects as long as he could. He put in an heroic effort to mitigate the outcome, and did so with bravery and cheer. Would that I could do the same. <br />
<br />
     Music plays such a large part of all of our lives and we all find something from someone that can mean different things to different people. I have been a big fan of Jethro Tull from the first time I heard them. They have a song called “We Used to Know” whose lyrics I have come to see as being very profound and fitting to include here. <br />
<br />
Whenever I get to feel this way<br />
Hard to find new words to say<br />
I think about the bad old days<br />
We used to know<br />
<br />
Nights of winter turn me cold<br />
Fears of dying, getting old<br />
We ran the race, the race was won<br />
By running slowly<br />
<br />
Could be soon we'll cease to sound<br />
Slowly upstairs, faster down<br />
Then to revisit stony grounds<br />
We used to know<br />
<br />
Remembering mornings, shillings spent<br />
Made no sense to leave the bed<br />
The bad old days, they came and went<br />
Giving way to fruitful years<br />
<br />
[Guitar solo]<br />
<br />
Saving up the birds in hand<br />
While in the bush the others land<br />
Take what we can before the man<br />
Says it's time to go<br />
<br />
Each to his own way, I'll go mine<br />
Best of luck with what you find<br />
But for your own sake remember times<br />
We used to know<br />
<br />
            <br />
<br />
      “We ran the race, the race was won, by running slowly”.  Gordon ran the race a little faster than any of us wished that he had. <br />
      I’m broken-hearted because I’ve lost such a good friend. A person I was fortunate enough to have gotten to know as well as I did over the years. I’m not alone. All my other friends who knew Gordon can attest to this as well, I know. We know his family feels this way because they knew him intimately – we knew him from afar. Such was his influence, and personality, that we have been severely impacted too. <br />
<br />
     Gordon was gifted with a very high intellect. Like most of the intellectually gifted I’ve met he was an extraordinarily sensitive man. Another of my best friends, Murray, was a fan of the singer Kate Bush, one of the very best singer/songwriters to ever come along, and one of his favourite songs was “The Man With The Child In His Eyes”. Murray was one of the toughest men I ever met and when he introduced me to this song, it opened my eyes to something not normally spoken about by men. Gordon was not childish in any sense of the word, but he never lost his sense of playfulness. The brightest people I’ve ever met have shared this trait – this kind of sensitivity, almost to a person. It is truly a loss when we lose friends of this calibre. They help to keep us grounded and mindful.   <br />
<br />
      Gordon possessed all of the ideals that we’re supposed to aspire to and he was honest and trustworthy. Gordon came to visit me in June of 2017, the first of my online friends to ever do so. I would have been entirely confident to have given him the keys to my home, without a second thought, to get in if I wasn’t there to let him in. <br />
<br />
     Gordon served six years in the US Navy where his skills landed him a seat on a Nuclear Missile Submarine. He served honourably and admirably and he and his cohorts kept us all safe doing what they did. We never had to deal with any nightmare scenarios because of people like Gordon who were brave enough to do what needed to be done. He was tasked with top secret, classified information that he never dishonoured. He told me a few things about his time on the boat, but never once did he ever divulge anything classified. He remained true to his word to the very end.<br />
<br />
    We are all lesser people now that we have lost this good person. Like all the others who knew Gordon, we all feel exactly the same way. We were all so very lucky to have had him a part of our lives. We miss you Gordon.<br />
<br />
                                                                                                     Love, and sincerity, Scott Cooley, Feb. 21, 2021]]></description>

Nights of winter turn me cold<br />
Fears of dying, getting old<br />
We ran the race, the race was won<br />
By running slowly<br />
<br />
Could be soon we'll cease to sound<br />
Slowly upstairs, faster down<br />
Then to revisit stony grounds<br />
We used to know<br />
<br />
Remembering mornings, shillings spent<br />
Made no sense to leave the bed<br />
The bad old days, they came and went<br />
Giving way to fruitful years<br />
<br />
[Guitar solo]<br />
<br />
Saving up the birds in hand<br />
While in the bush the others land<br />
Take what we can before the man<br />
Says it's time to go<br />
<br />
Each to his own way, I'll go mine<br />
Best of luck with what you find<br />
But for your own sake remember times<br />
We used to know<br />
<br />
            <br />
<br />
      “We ran the race, the race was won, by running slowly”.  Gordon ran the race a little faster than any of us wished that he had. <br />
      I’m broken-hearted because I’ve lost such a good friend. A person I was fortunate enough to have gotten to know as well as I did over the years. I’m not alone. All my other friends who knew Gordon can attest to this as well, I know. We know his family feels this way because they knew him intimately – we knew him from afar. Such was his influence, and personality, that we have been severely impacted too. <br />
<br />
     Gordon was gifted with a very high intellect. Like most of the intellectually gifted I’ve met he was an extraordinarily sensitive man. Another of my best friends, Murray, was a fan of the singer Kate Bush, one of the very best singer/songwriters to ever come along, and one of his favourite songs was “The Man With The Child In His Eyes”. Murray was one of the toughest men I ever met and when he introduced me to this song, it opened my eyes to something not normally spoken about by men. Gordon was not childish in any sense of the word, but he never lost his sense of playfulness. The brightest people I’ve ever met have shared this trait – this kind of sensitivity, almost to a person. It is truly a loss when we lose friends of this calibre. They help to keep us grounded and mindful.   <br />
<br />
      Gordon possessed all of the ideals that we’re supposed to aspire to and he was honest and trustworthy. Gordon came to visit me in June of 2017, the first of my online friends to ever do so. I would have been entirely confident to have given him the keys to my home, without a second thought, to get in if I wasn’t there to let him in. <br />
<br />
     Gordon served six years in the US Navy where his skills landed him a seat on a Nuclear Missile Submarine. He served honourably and admirably and he and his cohorts kept us all safe doing what they did. We never had to deal with any nightmare scenarios because of people like Gordon who were brave enough to do what needed to be done. He was tasked with top secret, classified information that he never dishonoured. He told me a few things about his time on the boat, but never once did he ever divulge anything classified. He remained true to his word to the very end.<br />
<br />
    We are all lesser people now that we have lost this good person. Like all the others who knew Gordon, we all feel exactly the same way. We were all so very lucky to have had him a part of our lives. We miss you Gordon.<br />
<br />
                                                                                                     Love, and sincerity, Scott Cooley, Feb. 21, 2021]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[This has been a  fun group regardless of the game; quake, toxic, warframe, boarderlands, and many others.<br />
As many of you have heard me say, Quake 3 has been my favorite.<br />
"More fun and laughs per minute than any other game".<br />
I just played my last game.<br />
I am in declining health and the days are numbered.<br />
Strength and stamina keep decreasing and each day has a different schedule.<br />
I have transitioned to Hospice care and do not expect to be playing anything going forward.<br />
Thanks for all the endless fun. Thanks for the best recreational on-line fun I have ever had.<br />
I remember Rob telling me when you can actually talk to the players, the game becomes secondary .<br />
He was SO right. Voice chat was more than talking, it was the catalyst to making good friends.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[It is really sad to say, my fastest machine is just a security server now.  Gaming rig I built years ago, died. Long rest your MOBO soul I5-750 OC'd to 3.8.<br />
<br />
Play ground, vagina carrying unit (AKA wifey or Mr's REV)  Wanted more security cameras installed, but the "camera box" could not take the load.  Thus, off to the Flea-Bay's.  <br />
<br />
Few bucks later, sitting on a 8 core AMD 8320 3.5Ghz. 12 Gb mem, Quadro 5600, and 6GB/s  SSD.  Long story short , the magic pixies of I/O security data are happily going to work.<br />
<br />
However, Vinders 7 is pissy.<br />
