I've found more time for mapping recently and have been working pretty hard on an entry for the pool map competition. Is a 5 minute compile time normal, I'm used to my maps compiling in a matter of a minute but the pool map I've created slows down a lot, maybe because of all the brushes I've added for pool stuff. In other news I'm mapping for a mod again and this time one that actually seems to have a future, Hypernova, a Half-Life 1 mod where you play as Eli.
