I just noticed something...

So when did Merkurclub become a .NET???

When we moved to a new ISP last Saturday night!

Have you also noticed that the response time is a little snappier?

Big props to Mark for making this happen with minimal service interruption. If the goal of IT is to be invisible, I'd say he succeeded.

Invisibility does not seem like the goal for IT (or accounting) in most companies. They usually suck in 300ish people engineering firms. For some reason they seem to think the company revolves around them and not the other way around.

Say what!? There's a Merkur Club!? If we only had an outlet where we could speak to eachother in a forum of some sort... Hey WAIT!!!

Hopefully, the little step between the MCA home page and the Forum will go away, yes?

Indeed, yes. There's still some stuff on the old site at the moment, so a bit of juggling going on while some minor issues get sorted.

I always wondered what the typical Merkur driver looked like, and boostfiend as fulfilled my curiosity...forgive me if I don't show up at a Merkur event.

It's Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear out of the UK. Not sure which episode it was, but I too recall seeing it prior.

I threw the Top Gear flag up not long ago, but no one here seemed to take notice. This has got to be the finest automobile show the world has seen. *MUCH MUCH* better than any junk we have littering the airwaves here in the States.

Top Gear = Best Car Show Ever...and the best part is, they are not afraid to blow things up!

Some fun ones to watch when you have a few:

Awesome clips!

Seems it's been awhile since I've seen the show on SpeedTV - do we not get it over here any more?

[Freejack]

Sometimes, if you are up late at night and the wind is blowing from the northwest and the xenon rays bounce off the cloud layer just right, Top Gear will show up on the Science channel.

For some of those, you'll have to get into torrent downloads.

Discovery took it off the air some time ago, and stated they wouldn't bring it back. I think it's best to grab em off the net for you get NO ADS! The American networks cut the episodes up, and add in Viagra ad's and other assorted junk. Meanwhile, you're missing 16 mins out of 60 mins of show.

Next Top Gear comes on BBC2 (the net soon after) in 3 weeks - due to the World Cup.
