I'm back! What have I missed?!

Hello,

It's been far too long, life was put on hold for a while due to a family member being ill but I'm back and ready to render.

So what have I missed? I'm sure there have been some juicy plugins released during my absence, please give me the low down!!

Missed you guys, had some great conversations and seen some outstanding work over the years. There are far too many of you to mention but you have really made this forum amazing for me. So thanks and hello again!

Welcome home

Hope it's all good again and sorry to hear about family issues.

Thanks Rich, nice to see you again.

So when did you "leave"?

Some news of the past half year:

Google sold SketchUp to Trimble
BaseCamp 2012 is coming in October
There were some Olympic Games in London...
New SketchUcation site is being cooked in the background
Rich got pissed the other day...
And of course, welcome back home!

Year and a half or there abouts

I really regret not going to base camp, but at the same time I'm glad Rich was able to go. Yeah I noticed trimble when I re-downloaded SU8, couldn't get my head round it! I lost contact with a few of you as I also ended my facebook account, it just kept getting hacked, email hacked, people trying to access my account from the US etc...couldn't handle it any more!

Oli
I've wondered about you're whereabouts many times, especially when I use your curved tree lines . So good to have you back.

Great to see you posting again Oli and sorry to hear of your troubles.

What have you missed... let's see.

The whole Trimble thing,
Of course Basecamp,
Gaieus is in a 12 step program,
Rich started his own airline however it is only for transporting rubber bands so don't expect any flyer miles,
Chris Fullmer has gone global (I don't know what that means either),
Jim, Tig and Thomas are working together on a plugin that will take down Autodesk but don't tell anyone,
Mayor Mike is doing marketing for a used beer company,
Pete has decided to memorize the Bible but is struggling with which translation to focus on,
Dave R. is also in a 12 step program but it is for woodworkers; don't ask,
I learned to read good,
Oh, and we have a new moderator, Jeff Hammond.
