One good and 2 bad news

First the good news:

I'm going to be a father for the second time next year. Ultrasound isn't done yet, but right after new-year it will be.

The bad news is that my better half, Bente thrashed the rear of our just-bought Volvo and the final bill of the repair is beyond $500 including parts. I am also just about to fork out $200,000 for an apartment as well as we need to get a bigger place to live in.

The other bad news is that all this makes it impossible for me to go to the LAN and whatnot. I have cancelled my hardware orders and i have to sell a lot of other hardware i have. I'm really pissed and depressed cause of the bad news here, but a man gotta do what a man gotta do.

However, i will pay the entrance fee and all the extras though as what just happened here isn't you guys fault and you shouldn't get a bigger fee because of this.

I hope you will have a good one and i wished to god i could be there.

I know...it's terrible in one way but i'm also happy. Weird feeling.

I will fight until the end though. If there is a chance, i'll take it.

Thanks for the nice words lads.

OMFG

Wow Mack! You a dad again??!! Congratulations my friend.. congratulations

Sounds like you do have alot on your plate, you will be damn well missed at the LAN I was trying to tie my ticket, so we could take the plane together and annoy people

Damn what a dilemma

but like you said, good news and bad news. Either way, take good care of Bente and you will be very missed, very missed

We'll sorely miss you at the LAN, but we will do it again no doubt so don't get too down about it.

Congratulations!
