Hell, I was once one of the top gainers and I had a good rank, but look at me now! :(

Anyways though, class is almost over and my schedule will be much more lax so I can see myself gaining back my ranks soon enough. <3 :)

Sweet! Never been on the top 5 before and average. It's too bad this is probably the most I will get for the summer because I go back to work in a couple weeks. Well I've never heard of ribband, but yeah my laptop crapped out on me and lucky for me I got an external HD a couple of weeks ago because it was on sale. All my important stuff is on in and everything, but its still a hassle to have to reinstall windows. (Plus I don't even remember what I had in the laptop that I didn't backup)

Ha, no NEVR this week, pushed out by a couple of old timers =P Sure is good to see Eagle back near the top, and pretty damn good to be there myself (Even if only just!).

Really good pace this week, best I've had for a long time. Revision is clearly good for B/P! One more exam to go (on Thursday) and then it is out into the real world as a graduate... eep :S. I probably won't have much free time either, so my pace will not be too great.

Not too shabby. I was out a few of those days, too. It feels good to flex those muscles and shoulder-up the good ol' Blam Rifle again. Plus, as a Portal Watch, it's certainly easier to protect the Portal, and MUCH easier to feel accomplished!

Heh, us old timers still got it in us. And I didn't get this rank by stopping around sniffing the roses, either. :-) Plenty of face-time on the Portal has made me efficient, fair, and able to get those few deserved reviews in there in minimal time.

Anyway, the DEFCON stays at DEFCON 3 for now, as it's regularly churning along, but not too quickly.

And to those that are looking for them, the forums are still on their way. I still have to build my VM server and necessary VMs to get everything up and running. Last week, however, was too busy with running around for that Relay and the wedding. Now I should have time to build the VMs as necessary.

Well, looks like Sauron isn't coming back in to explain anything. Oh, well. I was looking forward to an explanation of some sort.

As far as the portal goes... it's 3 AM and it is completely dead. One blam-worthy FLash and nothing else. That's right. One UJ.

I'm off to bed in a few. Good to see people checking in. And good to see EagleRock is making it a habit to come in here once again.

Yeah this is weird, its a long lull in the thread. This doesn't happen that often. No one has much to say I'm afraid, neither do I! Well I just made some salsa with some friends for spanish class...

Cool, looks like I haven't missed much. Was out all of yesterday so I only really managed to deposit my EXP for the day and not much else. My B/P pace is going downnnnn constantly now, I just don't have time for it. I'll make a comeback in a few weeks... maybe.

If the portal is kind to you, you can make 5 points off the deposit alone. Plus if it's more active, you can clear out any otehr entries as well - 5 minutes, maximum - unless it's Clock Day or something similar... must remember to book the day off...

I check before work, during smoking breaks for my colleagues - smoking is bad for my B/P :P, during lunch (now) and then as soon as I roll in from work. Cricket is the real bane of my B/P at present - I lose something like 15-30 points of an evening match on a good day and I could lose around 50 points on a Saturday match :(

Still, I'm saving money tonight, by... spending it. I'm buying a new bike for £150, plus some neat accessories to keep me going. This should save me money on my massive fuel bill at the moment and keep me fit as well :)
