    :::: CAUTION TECHNO CONTENT FOLLOWING ::::

    My copytech name and avatar come about because of my interest in Science and Technology.

    The copytech name I use is made up of two words Neo - Matrix. Neo which is shorten down from Neon meaning Neon specific wave lengths of light. I use Neo because of Neo in the movie Matrix. Most people relate to that quickly.

    Matrix which is a mathematics term that takes it's original meaning from Matriach which means mother. Matrix therefore basically means the mathematical the laws of mother earth.

    My avatar is a man stuck in the 3D matrix of magenta light which is in the lower wave lenghts of colour. We are all living and breathing in the marvelous creational matrix of mother earth.

    My signature text pay's respect to the Russian Scientist Dmitri Mendeleev who is known for his work in arranging the atomic periodic table we use today. What most people do not know is that Mendeleev used a mathematical matrix to do this. The method of how he used a matrix to arrange the periodic table is limited to very few lay people. To know how the atomic table is arrange in a matrix is to know the true works of mother nature herself. I my self am privileged to know how some of Mendeleev's mathematical matrix arrangements work, and therefore privy to some of the most marvelous of natures secrets. Knowing some of these secrects does not place me in a position of grandeur or being better than any one else, it merely places me further down the knowledge road of life that every single person follows.

      The sig is from a line Scotty said in one of the Star Trek films, so I have combined both of my favourite sci-fi films in my set up.

      I think there are a lot of techs who owe their current career path to Mr. Scott. He was my favorite character on Star Trek growing up. I think he did more to "save the day" than Kirk ever did. (Spock was my second favorite.)
      Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

            Will you be playing the online game when it comes out?

            I don't usually go in for the subscription games but roaming around the WH40K universe as an Inquisitor does have a interest for me.

              The cat did it the first try but scared the living daylights out of the examiner in the seat next to her. She was using someone else's car and was taking the test at the same time as her brother. He told her the car was more sluggish than her folks car (stick shift - not good for test). She was told to accelerate to 35 and then come to a complete stop. She slammed on the gas making two very nice black lines and slammed on the breaks, almost sending the examiner through the window (good thing she had her seatbelt on). She performed the slalom through the cones quickly and professionally, not knocking over a single one. She backed into a parking place only using the mirrors, but when she parallel parked the right rear tire touched the curbing (even though she did get it in the slot first try). The examiner told her to pull to the front of the building and quickly got out of the car (I think she would have kissed the pavement if she hadn't been so dizzy.) Ms. Kitty had to ask her 3 times if she passed the test before the examiner said yes, but that it was the fastest test she'd ever run (said, "My God" under her breath.) Good thing Georgia driving standards are so easy (parking lot tests with cones are ridiculously easy). I don't think Ms. Kitty would have passed the Maine driving test. (Actual road driving regardless of conditions, including park on a hill in the snow if the weather is bad when you take the test.) Her brother said something like, "What the H*** do you think you were doing? This isn't Indy racing!" She replied, "You said the car was sluggish, so I pressed it. I didn't think it was sluggish at all."

                Did you play any online games, like Quake? I think I remember playing a skeleton with that name.

                  I've been trying to keep up with Dark Millennium news and yeah an MMO in the WH40k universe is something I'm really looking forward to. Tho goin as a Chaos Marine or a Black Templar is what I'm debating if those options are available. I like Imperial Guard in the Dawn of War RTS games due to the sheer devastation tanks and artillery can do but in an MMO I'm not sure how that will work out....be interesting tho...

                      By the way, the above story is not made up, it is the honest truth. For some reason, I still have the same affect on people with me when I'm driving. I have trouble staying in the lines, what can I say.

                        Yep knocking on someones door with a shadowsword or baneblade will have an effect, at the moment I think the game will be limited to the imperial guard, inquisitors and possible space marines with the other races to follow but how this will work out I dont know and wether or not it will follow codex rules, as to play a space marine you would have to be in a squad of 5 marines minimum, unless you class yourself as a special character, in which case where does your back up come from?

                        But as you say would be interesting to see what they come up with.

                          I think it would be neat if they set up chapters like they do guilds in other games. Maybe create your own space marine chapters and such...scouts, librarians, apothacaries, veteran terminator unit, assault marines that individual gamers would play.....If they could work out something like that in an mmo game it would be great....same with other races....they have so many available classes and races to go with the concepts are unlimited....now that I think about it...I might just want to play a princeps in an Imperator class titan!

                                In an update to this I have found out that the games developers have bottled on the MMORPG format citing a saturated market place so the game is being redeveloped as a single player game with multiplayer online content like Unreal or Space Marine but with the (at the moment) same type of gameplay as Dawn of War.
