Ottawa ICQers News November 24, 1998

Okay the first major update is done. Sorry to all for taking so long but I had quite a bit of stuff to fix. Anyways All the new people have been added so make sure that your info and stuff is right, if not just mail me and I'll fix it but it looks like everything is ok. My weekend was pretty good I went to Minglewood's on Friday and Saturday nights with my cousin and friends it was pretty good I guess, we drank alot of beer and didn't fall down at all. Well I hope everyone else's weekend was a good one. The next update will be at the end of the week. C-YA then!


November 3, 1998
I have decided that I will no longer continue to run the Ottawa ICQers page. It has taken me some time to come to this conclusion but here are the reasons that decided this for me:
  • I guess the biggest one is time. I haven't had the time to sit down and update it the way it should be done. Work and other things are keeping me away from extra things such as this.
  • I feel bad because I don't have the time to update it. I mean, it's been over a month since I last updated it. If someone was to do this it would have to be done more routinely. (any takers?)
  • My cleaning lady threw out a whole stack of peoples information (ICQ numbers, web urls, e-mails etc.) - I was not happy
  • I hope this isn't taken the wrong way but it was becomming more of a burden for me then a joy. Initially it was great. I loved getting people submissions but lately it's been more a drag to get one. Don't get me wrong I still love meeting and chatting with people but because I haven't had the time to update the page every submission makes it more work. I can never get caught up.
  • The lack e-mails from list members regarding the list, whether it be good or bad. I have only recieved a small number of mailings regarding this site, and thanks so much to those that did send in comments and suggestions, so I honestly don't think too many people will care whether the site it disappears or not.
  • A number of users have come forward telling me of abusive behaviour by others not on the list. It would just be easier to stop if I took the site down.
  • I will be switching to @home or adsl in the new year meaning that the site url will change.

    I have had fun creating, adding and maintaining this list and have met many good friends in the process! I have that to be greatful for and you will not be forgotten. I've even heard rumours about a couple that met through this list that are now talking marriage. Whether or not their is any truth to that i'm not sure. Nobody ever mailed me *grin*. Best wishes to all of you!

    I've been off sick for the past couple of days which is why I haven't updated the page. I will be getting to that at some point over the weekend so make sure to check back. In the mean time please send along some get will cards to cheer me up - if you really want to! *grin* I've missed two days work and I think I'll have to go in on Sunday to make up some of that work I missed. Well.. at least that is what I told my boss but we'll see what happens! I'm suppose to go golfing with my brother that day but I'm not too sure what's going on yet.

    Had a very interesting day at work today. We're moving offices and things are just starting to get torn apart and taken to the new location. So.. as of Thursday I will have no desk. Fun huh? I don't think I'll be working on the floor by candle light just yet but we're hoping! *laugh* Had an offer on the Panasonic Shockwave Walkman and I've agreed to hold it for someone until the weekend. Please send in any offers though and, should things not work out by Sunday, I'll take the next person in line. Gee.. I feel someone like Bob Barker from "The Price Is Right" or something (but much younger and cuter though! - *laugh*).

    Panasonic Shockwave This weekend was pretty good. Friday I made some music CD's with a friend and then Saturday afternoon I participated in my works golf tournament. Good news! Our team came out on top and I won a $50 gift certificate to "Pro Golf" (a golf store) and this wonderful Panasonic Shockwave thingy. Cool huh? Not sure if I'll use it much though because I don't listen to tapes very often - if at all. I haven't even opened it yet. Gee.. I feel somwhat like C4SH now! *laugh* Make me an offer and maybe I'll sell it - hehehe.
    Added 16 new people, a new section called "News" that will have all the comments posted in this area of the page, and the hit stats to this page can now be found under the counter down the left. I've heard no comments from anyone so I'll continue to assume I'm doing a good job until I hear otherwise.

    After an extended vacation from the list I have finally updated it! Had roughly 75 people to add and I also had to split up the list again for ease of loading in your browsers. So, in short, I'm back and will continue to update this site routinely from here on out.

    I'm looking for feedback about the site to make sure I'm on track and giving you all what you want to see. Please mail me your comments.
