Okay, so first off, sorry for not getting the Third Kenya Story on time, but now I have it as an early spring-time present! So, after I was visited by the ghosts of Valentine's past they made me realize that I have to get crackin'.During the past few days I really hustled. I typed away for hours on end with my trusty bottle of thenr.net number on brand non-alcholic vodka and wrote up the first six chapters of Kenya Story III! Now, if you're into the Kenya Story's you'd realize that each story has 7 chapters, so that means I only have one more left! Look for the story to be published sometime in early March.
As far as the story goes, it really opens up the series, and introduces the central goal and adventure, bringing the first two stories together. We also get a visit from one of our friends in Kenya Story I. The third Kenya Story is already longer than the the other two, with only six chapters typed, so the stories are getting more complex. Also, I have yet to give it an alternate title, like 'Unsung Heroes', but not much left until it's ready for publishing. Now, I've kept you waiting far too long so I'll be nice and give you a sneak preview. If you've got any questions just leave a comment!
-----------------------------------
Here's your Thenr.net Excluxive Sneak Preview - brought to you by thenr.net non-alcholic vodka "it's not non-alcoholic, unless it's thenr.net":
Chapter 1
It's been smooth sailing now for a little over two weeks, but still we have no bearings as to where we are located. After all, we're bound to wash up somewhere, but until we come into contact with civilization it seems we're on our own.
"Eh, Cap’n!" Shamus fell in from the hatch, leaving his position on deck. "Weather's a pain today, Cap', can’t see a thing, the fog's thicker than the water."
"Keep a close eye, and make sure to steer clear of any danger, we're in no conditions to engage into any adventures now." I had to be quite frank. The new ship with which we escaped the island from was no dream, and of course, it came with limited supplies. Times were tough, and we've been rationing food now for the past few days.
I heard a muffled call from deck, my head quickly turned to the blinking radio light.
"We're surrounded!"

Welcome, again, as you all probably know by now it's the Ides of February today, so that means we're resuming our longest running tradition of the ASCII Animation!Today I'd like to share with you all my latest creation, the official Thenr Fishie. Our water-dwelling little friend here will soon sweep billboards across America as the fish heads our thenr.net's newest wave of campaign ads. Or, at least something like that.
"The Official Thenr Fish Mascot"
You're probably wondering how I mastered the art of ASCII in so little time - well, it's a secret, so stick around for more.

Yep, it's that time of the month again - top five, of course! Hope February has been treating you well; this month's top five will be a little more literature-based. Here are the top-five Agatha Christie books, which I have ranked in no apparent order:The A.B.C. Murders
And Then There Were None
The Big Four
The Mysterious Affair at Styles
Cards on the Table
Think I've missed a good one? Leave a comment!
Also, I'd like us not to forget our honorary mention of the month, although not an Agatha Christie book this has to be one of my favorite mystery novels of all time: The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler.
Thanks for stopping by!

First note, sorry to all, KS III has been delayed, because the site has moved and a sister site has been created, please forgive me! Also, exams are coming up, so KS III may take until February.But, the good news is as follows, thenr.net has moved to a new server! This means less restrictions, so flash and audio files are now allowed on thenr.net! Yes!
Now, here's the BEST of the news. Thenr.net's sister site has finally finished. Please visit www.atrforums.com. It's your one-stop resource center for all your questions. The idea is members ask questions related to their academic work, other members answer and the forums become a huge database of answers and resources. Members are needed for the community to work, so join now! Also, there's an arcade, shoutbox, online fun shop, and it's a great opportunity to meet new people in this comprehensive online community!
Tell everyone you know, the more the merrier ;)
That's all for now

I'd like you all to know that thenr.net is moving to a different host now. A paid host! So, expect much more features and less restrictions, we're going for the real thing now.But, unfortunately, this server switch entails a maximum of 48 hours downtime, after, which the Kenya Story III will be available.
Wish us luck in this endeavor, and happy new years!
PS December just proved to be the most active month for thenr.net, beating out the old champion (August '06), stats will be posted soon!
