Ian, you are my bestest friend. when you told me you had a heart attack I cried because i felt so bad for you, the night you told me you had chest pains I could not sleep man. I know you may not believe in god but I have been praying for you cuz your like the brother I never had, I have a brother but he is too much of a high on to care what I think or feel. I can't talk to him about anything cuz he thinks whatever I like is retarded. so like I said man just when you feel stressed just take a breather don't stress yourself to the point where your heart of gold can't take no more, your a great person and a talented person to boot, your the greatest person I know and I hope things in life don't get you down. I care about you and i am sure others do to, just relax and take care of yourself man, and I look forward to our next chat, until then take care my brother :}.
well scott just informed me about this crazy news...,and i agree man you need to take some time off. the scene has lived this long without a neo geo cd emu ,and im sure we can all surivie with what is out so far. theres no need to risk your well being just to get something made that we could just as easily wait for. they always say good things come to those who wait. so just take some well deserved time off.
I think ian will pretty much do as he wants, as we don't really know what causes him stress, who knows he may actually find working on dc stuff actually fun and calming at times and probably filled with stress other times. All that is important now is that you you find out went wrong and try to get treatment and advice on it and make sure your wife takes care of you. Thanks ian hope you feel better.
Thanks Yeah all about life style change no more fatty foods and sugar and salt. Im 38kg over wieght 120kg i should be 81kg. I have very low white blood cell counts high liver count they dont know what that is. But diet will make a change thats what i have to do. Some times coding is claming most times for me it's stress-full I tend to put every thing i do down and want to have it better. Every thing every one wants better so do i want sfx and or cdda on every game. But some times no matter how hard you try nothing changes. I have to lose weight life changing diet is going to be life long im told.
I dont think i will do as much but i will still be doing dreamcast stuff when i feel relaxed.
What i have to do is more activity better diet. Simple but harder to do i cant have any fat or 99% free. I have they said to me fat on my liver which means i cant lose weight like normal it's very hard to. I allways feel tired and pretty stuffed so when i have had such a low white cell count and unwell and not sleeping like normal that helped which is just me i dont like to quit, and i want fullspeed, this or that or just a very high standard and i do Stress over it not being good enff.
Any way just have to set time for it and not like i use to let Dc dev take up 8 hours or even more a day because the time i was spending really was not helping what i was doing. Some time it's better to walk away then come back at it.
Thanks for the well wishes Ive been told i will be fine but i need to change how i live.
Not quiting dreamcast i love sega really grown fond of many of you and the mate ship on the forum.

Yeah, that's something I should keep in mind too when I do something.
Holy CRAP!!!!!! This kinda stuff always happens when I'm away... I shoulda been here hassling you take it easy... haaaaaa.
Glad to hear your okay buddy. Yeah, diets are a pain in the ass... just wait till your all fit and buff mate, you'll wonder how you ever did without it... haha. I used to do wieghts and stuff hardcore at College... got a girlfriend... stopped working out for a while... ate Mcd's and KFC etc, got pretty damn fat (it's amazing how fast muscle turns to fat when it's not looked after) and didn't notice until one day I looked in the mirror and was like "WTF????". But I'm pretty much back on top now... took a while, but I've never felt better. So don't give up... remember, there are healthy alternatives to almost everything out there. You want chocolate? Have a Pinky, you want chips, have some apple chips etc etc.
Sounds like your heart attack was a good wake up call. And I'm glad your okay. Hope Gabbi's coping also. You ever thought of taking up meditation or Yoga? Might help with the stress levels a bit.
Take a nice long break from coding. Go to bed at around 10pm every night for a month to sort out your body clock... that's possibly why your having trouble sleeping. Your OVER tired... that will stop you totally from sleeping, and can screw up your clock for a long time.
Let me know how its going (by email or something...)
Ian you are amazing take a load off, we all appreciate what you have done for us
Edit: I can't spell...

some say the glass is half full
some say the glass is half empty
I say thank god they gave me a glass
Whaaaa???? Don't you have Cadbury Chocolate over there??? Pinky is a pink marshmallow bar coated in a thin layer of chocolate... it looks a bit girly, but is 98% fat free, so it perfect for the person on a diet... mind you, it has a high sugar content, but that doesn't matter if your gonna be burning it off during the day anyway.
Ohhhhhh thats what a pinky is. lol i was wondering what it was, sounds good even though i try to avoid too much sugar
I know what your problem is.
Ya'll think us folk from the country's real funny-like, dontcha?
Yeah, well saddle up the mule, ma.Slide me some grits, I's gots to get me some edu-cation, uh hu hu hu.
You @sshole.
Oh yeah... it's only 90% fat free... which is still pretty good.
Also forgot to mention that it has caramel ontop of the marshmallow... then chocolate over the whole thing... yum yum....
Don't tell me you guys don't get Crunchies or Moros either....

pretty much perfect but for known features not included and known bugs. Some more games do work with CDDA.

Having lots of tests New diet no salt no taste that kinda of thing and i have to have more rest and less stress.
Take care Ian! I hope you are now in good health. Also thanks for your work!

Well baldie, I'm from the UK (as you may remember, from another forum ), home of Cadbury's chocolate, and I've never heard of a pinky. Sounds kinda tasty, but 90% fat free is a bit of a misnomer. 10% pure fat... if you eat the bar in ten bites, one of those mouthfulls is solid saturates. Not exactly what I'd call healthy.
Anyway, back on topic, along with everyone else I wish you all the best Ian. I guess I'd encourage you to consider doing some Yoga or a martial art of some kind; it's good to get your mind working as well as your body.
