Title: Ahigh shout-out: what's up BYOAC forum?
Post by: Ahigh on December 19, 2006, 12:27:26 pm
I'm going to be back into building some arcade controls probably by February 2007.  I've had all my stuff in storage since I left the Bay Area back in March 2006, but I finally have a place to put my woodworking equipment; I just have to move in.

Anyway, I just wanted to shout out and say hello and to see if anybody even remembers me.  I hope everybody's doing well.

Welcome back, Ahigh.  Have you given any more thought to coding a front end similar to what was on the Arcade Legends cabinet?  That is still my favorite front end.

I'll come out of semi-retirement to say "hey, good to have you back."

I am only here because I was curious why it smelled like armpit.

That wasn't spider-sense, that was your Denorex shampoo: The tingle tells you it's working!

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys.

I'll give you a rundown on what's happened w/me since I left:

* Had to get rid of
  - Asteroids
  - Ms Pac / Clay Multi Kit
  - Ms Pac 100% upright
  - Ms Pac Cocktail
  - Namco "Sticker Club" donated to Good Will including Mars DBA
  - Super Pac 100% upright
  - Tetris / Klax Cabaret

* Obtained
  - 10/10 Robotron cab (@ work)

* Kept
  - 10/10 Defender
  - 10/10 Millipede/Centipede combo (mil cab @ work)
  - 10/10 Donkey Kong
  - 10/10 Pac Mania (god I hate it but such condition)
  - Mad Planets with water damage (works!)
  - 10/10 Rush 2049 TE (@ work - thx scott evans for replacement parts!)
  - 2 Tornado coin-ops (1 @ work but not set up - no room)
  - UltraCade with about every game on there

* Hope to have soon
  - 2 UltraPin cabinets (1 @ work, 1 @ home)

Moving to new house in a week or so.  Will get stuff out of storage, and maybe my previous non-work-related-life will somewhat-resume shortly.

Here's a recent photo of me showing how happy I am now (can you see my blurred hiney?):

Everything has been going just swell for me since around august (after the house sold).  I thought the world was going to end for a while, but I feel like I may have made it through to the other side if things don't get jinx'd.

It was really cool to get the warm welcome guys, and I'm looking forwards to contributing some stuff in the future for the board.  Thanks again, and look forwards to the future with you guys and everyone else.
