Whoops, I disappeared for a while

[neepheid]

Hi folks

I don't know why or how it happened, but I haven't been here in over 4 years.  It wasn't a conscious decision!

How are you all?  What have I missed?

[Basvarken]

Welcome back.

We're still here. ;-)

I still haven't returned to playing in a band.
Filled in for a couple of gigs last year with a Whitesnake tribute band, but did not enjoy it as much as I secretly hoped I would.

Instead of playing bass guitars I focus on building them ;-)

Built this one for Uwe this summer:




And also made this:




I said goodbye to my life as a partner in my graphic design studio four years ago.
I switched to a day job a HAN University of Applied Sciences. Finally building up a proper pension. And since it is a job in education, I enjoy lots of holidays ;-)

But I had no idea, Professor Rob! What do you teach?

Neepheid, admit it, you were probably busy seceding all these years - you're always in the midst of it! Willkommen zurück.

[Basvarken]

I don't really teach. I work at the Communications department as a member of the house style team.
One of the main activities is managing a Digital Asset Management site. I design and maintain templates for users of this site, in order to make it possible for them make make posters, facstheets, flyers etc without any graphic design skills.
Plus I judge/check the publications that are made with this tool.
Sometimes I have to teach new users (colleagues) how to use the site.

Welcome back.

We're still about planes, trains, automobiles, Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina, and butt stuff.

+ of course: Ritchie Blackmore



Uwe's edit: Alas!, Dave has become a little forgetful ...


Oh yeah, basses.

Thanks folks, good to be back.  First piece of business, update gear in sig - much has changed in the last few years!
