[The following are archived communications between my brother Dave {Cyber-Wolf} (referred to as 'Woom', a family nickname) and I {Kestral} (referred to as 'Porkie', another family nickname). They are not meant to do anything...merely putting in writing shared views about and through this happy medium called the Internet.]

THE JOYS AND WOES OF COMPS & COMMS:

Cyber-Wolf: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (this is when i get my best work donezzzzzzzz)zzzzzzz

Cyber-Wolf: no prob...just don't fuck with the 'puter...she's on a shakey leg today

Cyber-Wolf: my satellite dude is coming over this afternoon...Wish me tons & tons of luck-I need it (ie. the satellite I was on fell out of the fucking sky!!! no shit)

Cyber-Wolf: hey, wasn't blowing you off, just been 12-14hr days last 3 here...been tweaking everything, which is the icing part-both satisfying & dangerous, so I have to stay focused on a tremendous body of knowledge, 'n blend a little instinct. So far it's been great; no longer fighting dragons, more like little rats about now. LOL Just to rattle a tad more-tweaking "field of view" from 90 degrees to 120...lets the techies have an edge ; )

Cyber-Wolf: I wish I were that far along in my rude computer day. Wish I were in the fucking sun!!!!! ...with a babe...and stuff!

Cyber-Wolf: Can't wait for "future" possibilities of life on other planets...then I can make friends that aren't in the same time continium...roflol

Cyber-Wolf: Well, I'm toasty (tired) so I think I'll crash-out (sleep) and catch a few winks (period of slumber). Are you still a lone pup (single)? ps (post script) Do I amuse or irritate you with these translations? n/m (never mind) {implied rhetorical question} j/k (just kidding) with ya (you). I obviously am in need of some shut-eye (sleep: see "winks") so I'll bid you adieu (farewell) @->->-- CyberWolf

Cyber-Wolf: re: FP install...blah! I hate making you wait ALMOST as much as I hate doing that by phone...gimme 10 minutes, then scream back

Cyber-Wolf: sending you the latest data file update for AntiViral stuff..he he...can't have any bumps on my sis now...
Kestral: Ar, ar, ar...Thanks, Dr. Woom... :-D

Cyber-Wolf: Classic! And you stated it well; how can anyone view this page AND question the viability of the Web as an educational tool for the next century?!! roflol

APPRECIATION WITH AN "A"

Cyber-Wolf: just a start/draft...but what do ya think so far?
Kestral: I LOVE it! It shows your wry humor and your readiness to poke fun at anything even resembling pomposity or personal irresponsibility...plus it's hilarious!
Cyber-Wolf: really? Damn...kewl    & stuff. Thanks loin [variation on Porkie]-I'll keep it up.

Kestral: Awwww...you have lots in your life, you're just not focusing on it! The purpose of life is the journey, NOT the destination. It is not important that a man has what he wants...it is important that he wants what he has. Every cloud has a silver lining. All sunshine makes a desert. And all that other stuff!!!!! Hang in there, Woom.
Love you, Porkie

Cyber-Wolf: by the way...it IS a nice page, clean, pleasing, not too busy, practical graphic reinforcement of the data. Good job, really (sorry, I tend to criticize so quickly-maybe I'm too anxious to see you succeed, is all).

Cyber-Wolf: Lemme know what sucks 'n what don't, K?
Seizure later, Cyber-Wolf
Kestral: Looks cool, Woom! Glad to see you found a use for that 'kitty' .gif I sent you...ain't she precious? Love your screen shot, too! You're the man!!!!! <do wop, do wop> (BTW, you mis-spelled 'fresh' on the e-sheep banner)
CYA, Porkie
Cyber-Wolf: Ahhhh, thanks-ski, loin...makes it all worth it : )

Cyber-Wolf: YOU THE WOMAN! (high-five followed by butt grab)
Kestral: ROFLOL  What appreciation!

Kestral: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...oh shit, Woom...why the FUCK aren't you on when I can fully appreciate your weird and wonderful humor?
Cyber-Wolf: ...so that I remain a rare and treasured special thingy...and stuff
Kestral: You ARE all that, and more!!! <grin>

GOOD MIND GONE BAD: LAZINESS, PERVERSION & BAD SPELLING

Kestral: Can I send my corrections via chat? Hmmmmmm? I KNOW you would rather exchange 2000 messages, but humor me, okay?

Cyber-Wolf: how do you spell exquisite?
Kestral: You spell exquisite just like you did!!! Wow...11-3/4 yrs. of school unwasted!

Kestral: Hey, do you think it would be a problem for me to hang at your place Wednesday? (today is Monday)

Cyber-Wolf: so how the hell do you spell disgust (as in upset with) I can't even get close enough to get the spelling verifier to make a suggestion...LOL
Kestral: Disgust...distate...disgruntled...displeased...disillusioned...dildo (oops)
Cyber-Wolf: ...doggie-style
Kestral: ...down-and-dirty...dowser...dipstick...do-re-mi...
Cyber-Wolf: ...distemper...
Kestral: ...disenchanted...discharge...disorder...disarray...disinclined...disrespect...disco <eek!>

Cyber-Wolf: remind me to direct you to huge volumes of fantasty artwok
Cyber-Wolf: or artwork Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Cyber-Wolf: hey, did you try any of the new olympic games on my gamepage? Didn't see any high scores there from you...ha ha
Kestral: I'm the one who sent you the Nagano URL in the 1st place, goofball...And no, you won't see any high scores...did all right on the ski jump & sucked on the slalom & luge...

Cyber-Wolf: ahhh, for the days of a good stoning or a trusty guillotine

Cyber-Wolf: Final Trivia: Which is faster? Woom's neurons firing OR the wheels of justice? (insert Jeopardy theme here)

Cyber-Wolf: I'll actually check the speelllling tommoruww, okay? - little' tierd now...must eat food

Kestral: Didja like the pooltable pic? I thought it captured your shark-like demeanor. <grin>

GREETINGS & GOODBYES

Cyber-Wolf: LOL cya on the flip side!
P.s. check out what it says when you put the cursor on the tree graphic within the genealogy page..he he
Nighters

Kestral: Har, de har har har...Like you got room to talk...
Seizure,
Porcinapolisiana

Cyber-Wolf: You REALLY should get a life, onlineasourusloinubus. (I'm fully qualified to say that; before you go into "I'm smoking a cigarette" denial)

Kestral: Yeap-a-roonie!

Cyber-Wolf: kinda busy-burnt-crisp but ok...ina minute

Kestral: Hey Woom! I have a wav in RA form that downloads from it's source so I can't change it into .wav format...Any way around this that you're aware of? Thanks!
Porkopotopuroarasaurus :-D

Cyber-Wolf: earth to loin, come in loin...

Cyber-Wolf:  Welcome home, my beloved sis!!! XXXXOOOOO
Kestral: Thank you, my inestimable bro! XOXOXOXOXOXOX

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Kestral: Oh, the pitiful screams of scorched, pickled and anorexic brain cells...as they writhe in agony, begging for a quick, merciful death...but, NO!!! You torture them day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second...It's a game of Russian Roulette with all chambers loaded...You are a cruel Master...

Cyber-Wolf: p.s.s.s.s.s.s.s. How should I modify my name "CyberWolf" prior to arrival in Port_Kar? [a r/p irc] make it sexy please
Kestral: Usually, names are somewhat Roman-sounding, but it depends on the region...Call yourself Wulfgar or something like that...
Cyber-Wolf: thanks...sounds like I'm hawking a hairball!!!  roflol   That'll moisten her right up! ha ha ha ha ha Thanks, Porkgar! ha ah ha ah aha haha
[after a short while]
Cyber-Wolf: ...used the name Wuvgar and quickly disappeared into the night before having to reply inadequately to others there...
Kestral: Now hold on! I suggest "Wulfgar" and you ROFLOL yourself to death...then you use "Wuvgar"...Oh, well, it's exotic and interesting enough...(and doesn't bring to mind gaggin up a hairball...) AAAAKKKK!!!
Cyber-Wolf: Aye, but due perhaps to the long night-it did make me tumble 'round so very uncontrollably  he he
[later]
Kestral: Hey, Wuvuvulaaggghackgar!

Cyber-Wolf: Is this merely another cheap gibe suggesting that "Zoom [friend's nickname] does something"; thus implying the inverse, "Woom's a bum"?  roflol   That just came to me.

Kestral: Yes, massah, I sure be gonna try agin, I will...<grovel>
Cyber-Wolf: ahhhhh Shuuuuduuuuuuuuppppp (slap, slap)

Kestral: Hey Woom, would you do me a favor?
Cyber-Wolf: depends....shoot
Kestral: Would you look at (and critique) my latest project page?
Cyber-Wolf: shureski
[a little later]
Cyber-Wolf: very very nice indeed...couldn't appreciate the audio portion...but that's my system prob..ha ha. Love the fact that you can do frames now...and the background is choice! Nice layout, pic size and resolution...but perhaps gifs would allow a faster display? Just plain nice, nice, nice
Kestral: <blushing madly> Geee....thanks, Woom! That means a lot!!! :-D
Cyber-Wolf: no really!...I'm not low on cash or anything!  roflol  Nice job.
Kestral: Okay...Thanks for checking the page(s) and thank you for the praise...you just made my entire day worthwhile!
Love you lots! Porkie
