Return of Ubique's "Thumb" - DPChallenge Forums

10/14/2009 10:09:09 AM · #1

When Paul (Ubique) decided to leave us, he of course removed his portfolio. A side effect of that was that his wonderful "Thumb" award went bye-bye as well. Since I missed having the thumb graphic on my profile page (I'm proud of my thumb!) I wrote Paul and asked if I could park the award in my workshop so my fellow recipients and I could link to it again.

He graciously agreed, so here it is:

Thanks a million, Paul, and we wish you well wherever you are :-)

I really hoped this was going to be a thread proclaiming the return of Ubique. Ah well, I am pleased that his 'thumbs' are back for those who were lucky enough to receive one.

Paul is one the classiest, most-insightful, and wisest people to ever have played at DPC. He seems to have erased any virtual presence of himself. Is anyone aware of an online blog, photosite, etc., by Paul?

No, he used to have a very interesting blog but it's been taken down. He doesn't want to be on the net anymore. We are in sporadic communication by e-mail. He's concentrating on his writing.

You're welcome...I hope he doesn't get irritated with me that I revealed the book...but he, and his work deserves the admiration it gets.
