The Lounge. No business, just chit chat. / More Possible sad news...
Last post by DJ_Zath - November 04, 2021, 06:22:32 AMI'm not mentioning this to stir up the pot, but rather because I'm CONCERNED
its been well over 6 months since I have heard from MainesMixx...
I have a gut feeling that MainesMixx has passed away
You see? he was quite ill at the last time I have spoken with him, quite some time ago... and I have tried to send correspondence towards him and was an admin on his Dlive channel and all... but since, he simply "dropped off the face of the Earth" and I have been unable to reach him ever since...
if anyone has talked to him... or seen him online recently, I'd like to know! because I am concerned of his well-being, but now feel that he has passed away from his illness.
I hope I am WRONG in this case and that he is alive and well.

The Lounge. No business, just chit chat. / Re: OtsAv Development
Last post by DJ_Zath - November 04, 2021, 05:43:00 AMIf its worth to anyone, I have communicated with OtsCorp this June/July (2021) and have worked with them over some technical issues with the audio render engine... so, maybe they are still interested in producing their products... (for Tower: its not just the VIDEO that is lacking in HD capabilities!)
So, hopefully, this means a nice edargpU may be in-store after all! (fingers crossed!)

Last post by DJ_Zath - November 04, 2021, 05:18:26 AMhello Mr. Gainer, Doctor Milky, Jigger, Mr Sinclair, Kev and NIKKI (XOXOX)!
I'm glad peeps are still alive and kickin'... and, though maybe the product we all love may not be, at least, many of us are still "doing our thing" the best we can! and, as been mentioned, above, about an edargpU for Windows 11? ooOOhh... I won't even consider TOUCHING that junk (I mean Windows 11!), so I'll keep on going with what I have for now.. (but I DO hope they, at least, figure out the audio issues and get those fixed!)
again, I hope everyone stays SAFE, HEALTHY and HAPPY (these are surely TOUGH times and we are living though HISTORY...)

Last post by milky - October 06, 2021, 11:03:23 PMHi Nikki and Tim. Nice to "see" familiar faces again.
I finally bit the bullet and had my prostate completely removed. The hospital I attended has a robotic machine, where only three small incisions are made, so there is far less intrusion into the body than the old operation where the entire torso was opened up. I get the final pathology report in a couple of weeks, but there was no question that there was a thumb-sized tumour inside the gland, so I'm pleased it is completely gone.
There are some life adjustments I need to make - learning to pee (and stop peeing) is one, and there are new rules and limitations in my sex life, but, in general, the prognosis is good. Any men, especially over 40, should get their PSA levels checked regularly. If you let it go, it's a slow, nasty loss of vitality, versus a bit of short time pain for a very big gain.

Last post by Tim Gainer - October 06, 2021, 06:58:10 PMYup...still alive and well! Popped in to ask for some guidance on S&L and thought I'd let everyone know I'm alive and kickin'!
Hope all are well after the whole COVID thing and beyond. In the words of Bob Weir: "what a long, srange trip it's been!"

Last post by DJ Nikki - October 06, 2021, 12:46:46 PMIm still around too. I try to check in on occasion...not out of loyalty to the brand necessarily...but because all of you have been a part of my life for 21 yrs. We may not get to chat often, but I
love you guys and want to check on you.
It's amazing at how much things have changed in 21 yrs. Even in the last year and a half, since covid. I was in finance for 20 yrs til business took a hit when covid started and turned my 50+ hrs a week, into 15, so I had to leave and get an essential job at a cheese factory. After a year, hours started to get less and less at the factory, since cheese protein isn't in as high of demand as it was during the first 10 months of the pandemic..so a month ago, I changed jobs to working in a casino...servicing the machines. I look like I have been beaten...with all the busted knuckles and bruises on my arms and legs LOL. My chiropractor asked if I was in a domestic violence type situation...and I said yes...my job...can I get a prescription for that please? LOL. He said that it would
be a good idea to find a different job..so I have. Next week I will start working from home...and start taking better care of myself. I have osteoperosis from cancer treatment a few years ago. So all of this excessively physical work has been a challenge.
I got the opportunity to officiate my (step) son's wedding last week. First one ever. It was a great experience. He was extremely nervous...very emotional and started looking like he was going to pass out, so I started skipping the frills, and getting to the nitty gritty and got the i do's done..without incident. It was one of the happiest days of my life. I talked Dave for the first time in a couple years. His wife is a very nice woman. He always picks great women..LOL. They seem like they are doing well. They live a block away...which was odd in the beginning, but now we just wave and keep driving. That's an accomplishment, if you know the back story.
Anyway, I love you guys...and hope you are doing well. And remember kids...if you go to a casino and walk out with winning cash...don't roll around on the bed with your money...it was likely in 'the G string of a stripper, the night before. Believe me when I say, I have seen EVERYTHING.

Last post by Jigger - October 01, 2021, 04:30:01 AMI agree Mike I don't think we will get anything new from ots other than what they said about windows 11 update.

Last post by Mike Sinclair - September 30, 2021, 09:34:18 AMI still DJ (for now)... going on 55 and still discouraged with the path OTS took. When it first came out, it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but the lack of support for more modern controllers and lack of updated features forced me to switch software. I still hold out hope that there will be a big surprise one day with a "super update" but I don't expect that will be the case. They are having another 50% off sale right now. Sometimes they do that right before a new release. Again, not holding my breath. With that said, this group was always amazing... really helpful and courteous of each other. Thanks for that!
