Apologies for absence!

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

Just a quick note to apologise for absence lately. Pc infected with malware for a while now and long shifts. Crappy mobile is limiting online access also.

It's ok, as they say: happens. What kinda virus was it?

[Joar]

Welcome back! Actually, I was wondering where you've been. For a while there I thought you had deserted us...

[Valentinian Victor]

Nice to see you back SBH, wondered what had happened to you.

well, damn no soldier! ur gonna carry the extra weight on the march and from now on u'll be stationed in the scorching deserts of Arabia, fighting the Lakhmids

OK - now you are scaring me! PC is now re-installed with original operating software but it will take me a couple of days to download and install all my original programs etc including RTW/BI IJ mod. Basically, I have been without a PC for about 4 weeks due to a massive trojan infection and very long shifts on minimum wage which have left me a) shattered and b) broke - hence unable to repair PC. I was left with the crappy smart phone which is like trying to drink a vintage shiraz wine through a drinking straw when it comes to using the internet! Bear with me as I am still a a few days away from getting the PC back up and running again!

Welcome Back!

Good to see you back, SBH. The forum loses a lot without your quiet assertiveness.

[julianus heraclius]

I await your return with baited breath!

[First Citizen Gallienus]

Even though I'm a noob, indeed, welcome back.

He was defending against the Greeks?

[Juvenal]

Great to see you back. (hope you had backups of your important files)

And don't forget to check out Skantarios's review of The Nowhere Legion.

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

Thanks everyone! I was able to get all the writing files off the PC before it locked up - I lost all the music files and pics though. I am almost back up to speed now. I still have a few more programs to re-install and update, etc.

On another note, June was also a hectic month as I went on holiday into the mountains and then was involved in the National Theatre of Scotland's Five Minute Theatre celebrations. They staged 24 hours of live five minutes theatre pieces back to back. A small piece of mine was one of the pieces selected and broadcast live as it was staged in front an audience in our own theatre space. It was broadcast along with all the others throughout the 24 hour period over the internet and all of them are now available to be watched again on youtube.

Those of you who have detective skills may be able to track it down and amuse yourselves with watching a small piece of my dramatic writing!

[Magister Militum Flavius Aetius]

Nifty-o. I'll see if I can look it up

[Lousonna]

Hi SBH,

I'm rather new on this forum but I must say it's great to see you back! I've so much enjoyed reading your AARS I was afraid you stopped it. I'm happy to see that you were in fact fighting those pesky greeks!

cheers from Lousonna, Helvetia

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

Thanks, Lousonna! Never fear - once all the prograns and whatnot is re-installed I will AARing again! Expect an update over the weekend (short of another catastrophe).

[Blatta Optima Maxima]

Welcome back.

[Renatus]

It's a curious thing. When your computer was on the blink, this forum seemed to go to sleep. Then, just before your return, it burst into life again. Spooky or what?
