Slider

[Lost Poke]

Hey, Wyokie

I didn't want to do anything to keep that other thread alive, but you asked about what happened to Slider.

He got a big promotion and couldn't devote any time to the message board any more. About 2003 I ran into him at my client in Louisville CO. He was managing a regional pool of resources for EDS. Since then he's gotten promoted a couple of other times, and is doing really well. I know he still loves the Pokes, because we email every once in a while.

Thanks on both the info on him and not keep that other thread going. LOL

Nice to hear he's doing well. I temember emailing him a couple of times back when almost everyone had an AOL account. So late '90s...ROFLOL

I believe the site was:

http://www.aol.com/~uwyo1/site/interest.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Maybe didn't have the tilde.

Anyway, in those days if a URL didn't work you'd just start dropping parts off the end until you found a page that worked since nothing re-directed. One day at work, I typed the URL but forgot the "1" on "uwyo1". After I'd backed up to http://www.aol.com/~uwyo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I was presented with a picture of a topless girl. At work. Outside the female partner's office. Whoever had the "uwyo" AOL ID just about cost me my job.

Sadly both links lead to nowhere....kinda like the football team right now. I miss Slider's old board.

:rofl: at the topless girl pic almost costing you your job.
