I just jokingly icq'd Newton and wished him a "happy second birthday this week."
It's really rather cool. I sit down at the computer and see the little birthday cake flashing and say "Hi, Newton!" out loud without even looking now. He's had so many birthdays according to icq.
Ego boost for Dravyk: you're one of the best writer's with whom I've ever worked.
Not a compliment I had out often. Completely serious here.
