Home after a month

by Anand Lal Shimpi on June 9, 2005 12:18 AM EST
After being away from home for just under a month, Vinney and I are finally back. I couldn't have done the trip without her by my side, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. After E3, Computex and WWDC back to back, I finally get to sleep at home and not in a hotel, which is just plain wonderful.

I'm going to head to bed now, but I should be able to ease back into things starting in the morning.

Goodnight folks.

    All very amusing. Please don't change a thing as this provides some comic relief here at work. Thank you.

    In your face MORONS!!!

    Ok, so nobody wins but at least freaking AT got his mouth shut.......

    Now Anand, why the crap waste time here when you could be working on the damn article, what are you doing now for example? We are all anticipating the article, and not even a damn update on the situation is a slap in the face to your visitors.

    What the hell is going on? Just tell us damn it! An update c'mon, is that really hard, instead of wasting your words typing about AT and I you should give an update, something worth reading.

    I'm starting to lose respect for this site, and I'll make sure to spread the info on how damn irresponsible this site is.

    THANK YOU........

    The last two posts have not been anand. Instead of requiring a login, prevent anyone from entering the email field as *@anandtech.com so the multiple personalities on here can't post as Anand.

    Yeah, I would greatly appreciate it if you can remove the comments as well.

    His highness Anand says He might take down the comments section: I bow before you and humbly beg you to do just that.

    Hi. I'm new here to the forum and, of course, anxiously anticipating Anand's upcoming in-depth(and likely increasingly large in the undertaking) article on PS3 vs. XBOX 360/Cell vs. Xenon/RSX vs. Xenos, etc. I just hope most of you here can come to realize, as I have come to realize of myself, that there is something seriously wrong with us. I mean, somewhere along the line our development must have stalled when we were arguing about which comic hero would win in a fight & overly obsessed with childhood toys. I mean, hey, I can be honest, I want Microsoft to win...and spiderman could kick batman's butt any day of the week...and those Xbox 360s are so shiny and sleek, just like some hotwheels I used to have.

    I, sometimes, wish I was not so intelligent with a full life that I had the time or the ignorance to give Anand rock star status.

    #44 tuz: You hit the nail right on the head. I don't understand what's up with people that think making money online is not alright. Anand probably works harder than majority of the people with "real" jobs, so he should get paid. It's his right. Just because you visit the site doesn't mean you can boss him around.

    You wouldn't go boss around the CEO of Wal-Mart or Bestbuy just because you buy at their store. The same theory applies to Anand.

    Give Anand some respect. Yeah, he earns money through the site. BUT that doesn't give anyone the right to boss him around or be downright rude. Geez the guy just got back from being overseas for a month. Is it a problem for you that he earns money here? If so just stop visiting the site, problem solved.

    So what if he's getting paid for doing work for this site, it's his site and for all the work he's put in over the years, so he should be paid. It's not like anyone here is forced to pay $10 for access to these articles and YET they're more interesting and better quality than a lot of the rubbish you find in so-called PC magazines. If you had a website that you put countless hours of work into and was so successful you too would want to be earning money off of it.

    G'day Anand!

    Welcome home and I hope you are well rested (I know "The Way of the Road Warrior" and you have my deepest empathy).

    I'm not sure the best place to post this, but I was wondering if you could introduce an area (in the forum?) for us to list reviews we would like to see...maybe with a poll?

    Just a thought...welcome home!
