    Why did you leave the inq?

  • madmikemagee // March 8, 2008 at 10:17 am

    Because I’m doing something else.

  • Stevie // March 8, 2008 at 11:33 pm

    Oh don’t be so elusive. what exactly are you doing apart from drinking and getting your picture on the inquirer !

  • madmikemagee // March 9, 2008 at 12:04 pm

    I’m not just drinking…

  • Rana Mainee // March 9, 2008 at 12:48 pm

    What’s all this about a kilt and ‘your klan’? I think we should be told…

  • madmikemagee // March 10, 2008 at 5:49 am

    Every Klan has its Kilt Rana. But you’re not looking up mine. More for your benefit than for mine.
    Did you know a Pharaoh had a whole battalion of Kelts who did without Kilts and went into battle stark naked.
    Truly the pen is mightier than the sword.

    I dunno, I’ve been following you around the net for way too long. From a newsletter to the Rog to the Ink now here!

    When will this wandering in the wilderness that is the web end!

    Great Scout Mageek! Where will I end up next?

  • vasco // March 10, 2008 at 5:09 pm

    So here you are!
    I was starting to get worried.

  • Lorne Babcock Sr. // March 10, 2008 at 6:34 pm

    Hey Mikey.

    That you will be missed at Inq., there is no doubt. I will miss our language discussions. Good luck in your new, old life.

  • Jeffy // March 10, 2008 at 7:45 pm

    Dear Ed, er Mike,

    Hi. Are you doing okay? I hope so.

    Cheers,

    Jeffy

  • Andrew Bruce Smith // March 10, 2008 at 9:33 pm

    Mike - thanks for stopping by my blog. Good luck, etc.

    Whatever happened to Mark Hamilton?

  • Melvin // March 11, 2008 at 7:48 pm

    I’d assume your going to start something beginning with ‘the’.

    Have a virtual drink on me. Your websites, your comments and your personal reply to emails sent have been enormous fun.

    The virtual drink is a Guinness, I hope thats ok.

    The best of luck with whatever you are planning to do!!

  • number9 // March 13, 2008 at 5:10 pm

    the whole bidness of inquiring about some poor bloke’s infernal affairs… not sure why, but a tad bit disturbing i reckon

  • Marco W // March 13, 2008 at 6:51 pm

    hi madmike,

    good luck for your new blog and for whatever else you are up to.
    cheers,
    Marco

    I do hope you will continue to write for CPU mag.
    Best wishes to you and thanks for the many informative and humorous articles!

  • Endrik // March 14, 2008 at 8:01 am

    So here you are. Seems you are having a good time. Enjoy & hope to hear from you soon.

    Cheers: Endrik

    Hi Mad Mike.

    I wish you well with Fuad et al.

    He needs some honest help with the spellchucker !!

    Charlie and Theo are over at TG Daily … and some of the THG diehards are unhappy bout that … screw em I say … Tory buggers. Plus that site is owned by NotBetstMedia now.

    The inq staff are infiltrating the major hardware sites … so I expect the attack on our language to be stepped up pronto !!

    All the best … and on a personal note thanks for always replying to our comments on the Inq site.

    Good hacks never neglect the humble masses !

  • Igor Levicki // March 16, 2008 at 1:26 am

    Hi Mike old buddy!
    Glad I found you again! I’ve just put up a link to your “bog” in my website Links section.
    As for what you are doing — I don’t have to ask, I bet you are getting ready to start another news company but this time in Second Life :)

  • Saptarshi // March 17, 2008 at 4:25 pm

    Hey mike… What r u doing in India after you left the Inq?? Im thinking you are thinking of a software startup in Bangaluru… If that’s the case, then I’m ready to work for free, just for some stock options though!! :))

  • Nikolas // March 18, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    Hi Mike,
    Remeber the days at Cyprus? The lil isle was all fun!
    I bet you are doing fine on your own now.

    I’ve linked you on my site’s front page. If you want some pics to remeber the old days, send me a wink.

    REG’s ;>

    The SECOND best use of an empty whisky bottle…

  • davidhead // April 2, 2008 at 9:52 pm

    I wonder if you would be kind enough to consider becoming one of our ‘1001 bloggers’ at http://mencap.wordpress.com

    My apologies if I’ve asked you this before. Through the site we are hoping to link 1001 people who blog regularly and I picked up your blog through the ‘links’ tag on the wordpress homepage.

    Please take a look and consider joining. Let me know what you think.

    Do email me at david [at] theheads.co.uk if you would like to know more. If you can link to the site or forward this message to others I’d be very grateful.

    Kind regards

    David

    As the old writer-in to you when there were problems on the INQ, I’d just like to say, even though you’re gone, you did a great job, and I salute you!

  • Glenn // April 11, 2008 at 6:22 pm

    I’ve been reading chipzilla.org for years but recently stopped. Someone needs to take that old dog out back and shoot it. Honestly its no better than the BBC anymore.
    However, your bog is informative, interesting, and most importantly delivers a good dose of humour. These days, the only two sites I visit for tech commentary are your blog and overclockers.com. Its a sad state of affairs as computers and other related tech lose there “wild west” appeal and become like any other appliance. I guess it makes sense that most tech sites will go down the drain but I guess its the end of an era. (Hey kinda like the olympics!)

    Sorry about the wall-o-text :p Have a good one and if possible I’d rather not have this published, I really only meant it for you to see but do as you will.

  • Petz // May 13, 2008 at 10:15 pm

    Good luck on the ITExaminer, but I hope you don’t neglect the CPU wars in this new venture.

  • Glenn // June 9, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    Whats with the little :) in the upper-right hand corner?? :p

    btw the IT Examiner is looking pretty good, enjoying it so far. I like the change of pace and its nice to see quality come back into the picture again like the INQ & Register used to have a while back.
