Heh, my man. I finished middle electronics school, went onto faculty of technical sciences (Higher Technical School). Engineering is only as hard as much as you dont want to do it.

I go to an engineering school (elektrotehnička čisto da se razumijemo ), currently in the 3rd year. I plan to go to college after it, just so I can get some extra time to work on projects, so I can hopefully build up a portfolio over time.
Anyway: today I improved my Electronics score, fixing my GPA from 4.47 to 4.53. LET THE WORLD KNOW, ADMER BELIEVES IN GOD AGAIN!

I believe my worst year was 7th year of grade school when I scored 2.92. I could not tell from the text what your affinity is. This is by the sound of it Middle school. What are your plans after getting done with it? College, work?

Carrot, I had the opportunity but my coworker took my spot because he knew I had to play a show on Friday night haha. (Atlas went up at 6:36 AM EST)
When we support launches, we have to get there 7 hours before launch time to do system checks and oversee fueling. I would have had to get there at around 11pm on Thursday night. Launch days are long days.
I'll be there for the next one whenever that is.
Also yes. The starliner had an incorrect mission clock set. We don't know HOW it was erroneously set (I'm thinking human error) but it tried to hold to a different flight path and burned a LOT of fuel in doing so.
Because of that, the capsule could not rendezvous with the ISS.
If the capsule had a crew, they would have caught the mistake and would have fixed it in time to make a course correction.
Regardless, the launch itself was a success and the capsule will make it home safe.

Cool stuff. Where you there when the Atlas V with Starliner launched? Apparently Starliner made an oopsie and didn't perform its burn to rendezvous with the ISS when it was supposed to. Something about the spacecraft's clock not matching the mission elapsed time that made it "think" it had already performed the burn. But hey, it's a test flight, so not a big issue.

I'm not employed by United Launch Alliance. My company designed and installed the system that I oversee during launches. So I'm allowed into the control room in case something happens... Then I'll help ULA the employees figure it out.
Our programmer is great though so the system is pretty bulletproof at this point.

I'm sure had you been filmed a bit longer we could have heard you saying to your colleagues: "Did you submit your report to the administrator today?"
I'm very happy things seem to be going well in your life! I'm just wondering: what exactly do you mean when you say you "support" them? Does this mean you are not a regular employee?
And I think you're right about never giving up, but sometimes it's hard to remain hopeful. So good job on succeeding to achieve your dream!

I will likely miss the start of The Whole Map Vault since it starts at 10pm and that's when my missus now gets home from work on Friday. I will likely catch all of the sorting out of the arseholes or whatever.

I have to echo mostly everyone's sentiments here regarding the visuals, but gameplay-wise, the map feels a little awkward. There's a few places that feel a bit too cramped or that are easy to get stuck on. The aforementioned HL2-esque pipe is one of those. Some of the layout changes make things a little bit more complicated than they were in the original, like the the main area with the parked Archie truck. Right where the I-Beam is on the top left, something that used to require just one jump before now requires two. Maybe I'm just a little too used to the old crossfire, but I'm not sure. Either way, this map is a real treat visually, and my chances of actually playing it in HLDM are very low anyhow! If I could rate 4.5 stars I would, but alas, it's going to be 4.
Happy birthday! Scrolling this on my work monitor made me chuckle. Fun fact: you heart beats about 1 billion times by the time you're 27. Don't quote me on the fact.

I rarely get to catch these due to internet issues, so I decided to look at the YouTube playlist and oh dear God there's more than a week straight of videos to catch up on.

I'm surprised you remembered your password! When I try to log into stuff I made over a decade ago I can usually never ever remember what password I used.

It's funny you mention my desktop, because all these years later I'm still banging the same layout:
oh my
I'm also happy and very impressed with the new Half-Life; it's just a shame that not only would I need a new computer, I'd also need a new room.
I don't have that map or any other I've made way back when, sadly. I remember I was enamored with the higher resolution textures of Condition Zero, and the map was a perfect excuse to display all of them. But everything was too large and too wide and I didn't have a lot of fun, to be honest.

I love the image you posted in "Desktops of August" last time you came here, a decade ago:
Very retro
My day is fine, happy there's a new HL in the works. How are you?
PS. you don't happen to have a copy of fy_something somewhere? Jessie is going through ALL the maps in the Map Vault and trying them out while streaming, once a week

Electronics and Democracy will be known tomorrow. If I haven't done Electronics well, I'll do it in Monday.
Man, this is so intense. I like the sensation of pressure.
studying sucks, but probably still better than ending up as a cargo hauling drunkard

It is hard to remain hopeful. Just don't give up!

I wonder have you ever came across these maps.
