I'm trying a little experiment for today. I just had a shower.
Usually, I would use normal deodorant after shower( I prefer spray deodorant during the winter and stickrollon during summer). But not this time. I used a potassium allum softened crystal that I moistened and brushed it on my armpits. I usually use this after shaving but I read more about it on Wikipedia and among its uses is as a deodorant.
If tomorrow morning when I wake up I don't stink, then I will have achieved a small financial success by not wasting money on deodorants anymore. The crystal I'm talking about is my father's, and since it has the same shape as it had since I remember it as a child, I presume it will last forever...
[EDIT] Also licking the crystal is like eating sloes/blackthornes(Prunus spinosa ). Well, if anyone from here tasted such a thing. I did...
[EDIT2] It seems to work, but I didn't quite sweat during the night. I'm too afraid it won't work so I can carry the experiment during the day...

Stalker: Call of Pripyat.
This game is addicting! Just traveled across the underground tunnels to Pripyat( arrived single- the rest of my squad died). First mission in Pripyat, 3 left to kill from the ambush(while the stupid allied NPCs die) and I die.
Quitting because of this, after 5 hours of playing.

Opened up some ink cartridges to learn how the ink is stored.
Yeah, I made a new tutorial for OpenTTD:
Aircraft Transportation Basics
Blame me for the jerky video, but I already wrote here how annoyed I am by the software I used to record.
I tried to compensate by at least adding captions...
I feel like I wasted an entire day :|. Would have wasted on games anyway, I guess :D.

May the pot of epic mapping inspiration be poured upon all of us this year!
Happy new year!
[EDIT] Also, my blog post... meh.

Ladies and gentlemen, my new special place:
I just bought a Philips 23" monitor, and as I was trying to find a place for my old monitor an idea struck me: why not use them both? It's funny that this desired form and performance of my desktop took 3 years to develop. Little savings, little upgrades here and there... Patience is a virtue. Although a HD4850 and an Intel E6500 might seem old, that's what the money gives me access to.
This might be useful as I just cooked a mod idea and how I will handle it in train trip today( things like these always happen when I get bored and the imagination starts wondering around...). It's nothing sure though, this mod was supposed to see the light of the... hammer months ago, at the end of spring. And it never happened. I just have the idea and have to work on it. Only a seed that needs to be grown...
Now about that monitor: It's a W-LED 23", 1920x1080 res, 5 ms display. In some respects, my old monitor seems to be better. It's either that or I got too used to it, but I have the feeling that the new monitor is not showing quite natural colors, although photos, videos and games( I played Portal 2 at 1080p, wonderful!) look good. But hey, at least it only consumes half of my monitor and weighs waaay less. The cost? Almost 150€, savings of about 5 months.

I bought Portal 2. At 5 euros, I couldn't resist.
[EDIT] Aaaaaaaaand it seems that my Steam Holiday Gift was... *drumroll.... Portal 2! Awesome! Now I can play it with somebody(really sorry guys, but I have friends
).
But I do have HL2DM that nobody wants...

A friend shared this with me:
Yep, this is sad...
They should actually see us as this:

I am home again. I can't express my happiness, especially towards the fact of having privacy again and a non-smelling toilet.
I am currently rediscovering how to use a mouse. For some reason I still try to move my fingers on the mousepad instead of moving the mouse :).

I'm going on a little 'holiday' for about a week. I'm currently hospitalized for frontal sinusitis treatment. I really hope the treatment will go well and I won't require surgery. I'm really scared of that. It's the first time in my life when I have to be hospitalized.
The thing is, I don't quite have all the sinusitis symptoms besides the swelling of one sinus. It doesn`t hurt( yyonly when pressed hardly), and I don't have fever either. That's what scares me, I hope it's not something else.
If all goes well I'll be back in about a week.

I just bought some kind of alcohol bitters drink from the pharmacy. The formula for the herbal essences is almost the same with the Swedish Bitter.
It's the first time I get to drink such a beverage. The taste is awesome, and it leaves a pleasant aroma in my mouth after I drink it.

English is a crazy language:
Apparently, the person who made Mistake( a HL1 mod), is the leader of a new project about to be released: Grey.
This time the mod is a Source mod, and again will be a total conversion.
Here's a teaser video.
I'm expecting a genuine horror mod.
