This has gone far enough.

As per some of the others, I got all worried when I started reading, and then on the way down my grin got bigger and bigger.

From my (admittedly limited) experience talking to you both I'd have to say I've never met two more genuinely kind and caring people, and I think it's ace

Fucking yay you two, I say

Fantastic Jeff!! I hope you find some peace now and can concentrate on what's important, your wonderful new relationship and getting Unity in the can!

Ah, Jeff.

No, you didn't have to tell people about your private life. But you always do. It's one of the things that makes you you, and one of the reasons why so many people here feel close to you. And I'm glad you did, cos not only should it put an end to all this crap, but... well... it shows that you are still the same bloke we all know and love.

As I said to you the other night, it's got fuck all to do with anybody else, as long as you're happy. I could understand friends being "concerned" - this often happens. But when it goes further than that, people just need to shut the fuck up.

Best wishes and fluffy hugs, as always, to you and the goat

Thats what i call this .Best of luck to you guys.

A question about giles?does he also code games or is he more of Dbase coder?

... well Giles can code just about anything, he is what you would call a ninja coder

..

But his passion is algo graphics... as I mentioned before he was doing raytracing on his Speccy when he was a teenager. I've seen some of his work and it's absolutely lovely stuff

.

Again I just want to say a huge thanks to everyone for all the lovely things that have been said and for the good wishes... we are both really moved by it... and it is such a lovely feeling after the recent bad times

...

Peace, love and light to all of you... *hugs YakYak*

Congrats to Jeff & Giles.

As another newbie (though longtime lurker) I too had noticed the atmosphere change a little without knowing why.

However I hope that now things can get back to normal and I'm sure this massive outpouring of support and well wishes will be an immense relief to you both. It's nice to know that the vast majority of us here are kind, decent human beings. It would be a disservice to all to let something like this damage the wonderful community that has established itself here.

My best wishes to you both.

Real love, when you find it is the greatest thing and you wonder how the hell you coped without it

I know I'd be utterly lost without my lady, Kaz and can't wait until we tie the knot later this year

It's going to your head mate, you missed a beat there - it's MOOVED!

And a note about Giles and his Speccy stuff, we've been exchanging PM's recently and yakking about graphics and abstract visuals, he was kind enough to dig out some screenies of his Spectrum raytracing experiments and as you say Yak they're quite something, at first I thought they were static visuals until he explained that he was manipulating the polys and transforming them in real-time - on the Spectrum

Aw .. no you misunderstood a bit, the Ray Tracing were statitc, they were
taking a certain number of minutes to get rendered, the IFS collage editor
was "dynamic" with real time manipulation of polygons and such.

I promise I'll do by best, when I'll be better in shape, to try to dig out
the sources and old screen, I still have quite some ZX I can still recompile
and run them again

I did other dynamic things sure but not the ray tracing ones
