Thanks a lot, all you wonderful people! I took off to Lake Arrowhead with my lady for an extended weekend, i.e. Friday included, so I was off TTLG for those few days (not to mention I managed to break the system on my laptop and spent a considerable part of Saturday fixing it) - but seeing this thread today was simply great. Once again, thank you!
For the inquiring ones, my lady and I are doing great. We actually see each other quite often because my boss is now on sabbatical in LA and therefore has me come over once in a while - and there is a strong chance I will actually spend several months there \o/ It's amazing how even such mundane activities as shopping, cooking, doing laundry and so on feel wonderful when we do them together. We have also discussed various possibilities for our mutual future after we've both got our respective degrees - we've got a certain place in Europe in mind, that's all I'm going to say for now because I don't want to jinx it ;) . That however is still a while ahead, in the nearer future I am going to visit her family in China this winter and she's coming over to visit mine in the summer.
And now, in the spirit of time-honoured TTLG tradition, on to specifics!
TNT: You're the man/woman/Canuck/redneck/psycho/...! Thanks a million, especially in light of my horrible correspondence habits. Also, I promise I will actually finish writing up the walk-through some time soon... seriously :)
Schatten, Vraptor, Vigil: Word! Or maybe a gluon. May your form factors always remain huge and your cross-sections well under control.
Iggles: I'll be in London for a few hours on the 26th of November, so we can get some sticks and do some dry-land punting instead :) Hope at least some of you guys will be able to make it, I guess we'll discuss the details over IRC.
StD: Of course this won't be it! The LHC won't be running at full power in 2007, if they manage to launch it on time at all :ebil:
Mortal Monkey: Missed me :p
GBM: Amen! And at the same time we are temporally far apart enough not to fall under quantum indistinguishability... That would have been awkward at times.
RBJ: And here is a philosophical question for you: what does it imply when one becomes a life of the party on IRC by posting o/ upon entering a channel? :angel: Hopefully not that everyone has been snatched by the Entertainment... (yes, I will keep mentioning that book whenever your name comes up :) )
MrDuck: That ain't exactly correct, Duckeh... I don't think I qualify as a genius :)
everyone else: Thanks again!

I was starting to wonder whether you'd forgotten about me and the walkthrough, since I hadn't heard from you or seen you in so long. :( Didn't even know you had a girlfriend, that explains everything. :D;)
Still, if you could get me even a rough draft of the walkthrough soon, that'd be awesome. :):thumb:
