I have just received a mix Cdr from Ritchie, it's postmarked "Hammersmith". With it was the following note which I thought might interest a few of you: ************************************************************ "Hey man, sorry for delay, -thanks for the bbroo remixes, very cool, best orb stuff in a while, ........"etc".... .........Yep, my consultancy position was terminated -"cutbacks" spoken by a rather scared looking boss. I think it was because of mistaken identity and also unlucky coincidences (including the fact that the data base I work with uses SQL code). I never did anything illegal, but these bastards don't want to take any chances and there are plenty of others looking for work. That was a crazy paranoid week a) loosing Admin rights -"virus problem" I was told, b) returning early to my desk to watch my mouse pointer moving by itself -selecting some access rights flags I had deliberately deselected, c) a list of web locations -including blips, I had visited, left on the printer, d) strange treatment from IT engineers and bosses, d) "did I know a Dorothy ___" -same name as myself, asked by IT manager, and so on -strange + wasn't Kansas anymore. In the end I was so paranoid I couldn't concentrate on work. I said fuck it and started an exchange of letters via my home email, -from Dorothy -aka Madonna, and the Riaa, to myself. We discussed their plan to bring down all P2P music exchange servers with viruses. I was a bit crazy at this time -I had quite a hot thing going with Madonna until the shit finally hit the fan with the final meeting -ha, ha. .....I was getting fed up with the list anyway, the "exOrb -with no talent left" list -it's no wonder Alex kicked him out. It's definitely enlightening though, to find out that your hero is really a major jerk. Anyway, I'm taking a break for a while in UK to look up some old friends. Thanks again for the music, hope you enjoy this? l8r -R">> ********************************************* bbroo says "....mmm, London,eh?"
