Congratulations, Kasperg, on your most recent award. 
Fabulous face-lift. Great job Seventh!
Married life is good so far. I am still working a lot, but I'll get to spend more time with my wife next month (and finally finish Medal of Honor).
Popcorn tastes good, especially when you haven't had lunch.
I barely got started at playing any sort of multiplayer online game. I am finally getting reasonably good at HL2DM.
http://twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=2719 (sp_justice_v2) is once again available for download. The download link had been down for a week, but I've fixed the problem. Let me know if anyone has any issue when downloading the map. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.
The following is my updated profile at SnarkPit:
I am a thirty-something pediatrician in California. My busy life consists of seeing a lot of patients, playing games, exercising, and spending time with my wife.
I have been a gamer since high school (I graduated from which in 1991). Some of my old favorites include the original Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Doom II, Jedi Knights, Deus Ex, No One Lives Forever 2, Medal of Honor series, and Unreal II.
You may have noticed that all of them are FP shooters. I only tried to play a non-shooter once (Riven), and I was deeply disappointed. I will never venture out of the FPS genre again.
More recently, I have enjoyed beating Far Cry and Half-Life 2. I don't play multiplayer much, so you probably won't find me at the SnarkPit server.
Most of you would be shocked that I have never played the original Half-Life. When it was released in 1998, I was in medical school. I barely had enough time to eat and sleep, much less play games.
I started mapping in September of 2004, with the original Half-Life engine. I have made a few Source maps since, but my mapping career came to a halt recently because my work is taking up most of my time. I am hoping to resume mapping one day.
Besides being a mapper and gamer, I am also a cinephile, a jazz connoussier, a bodybuilder, a runner, a writer, and an avid reader (mostly fiction).

Congrat, Rabid, for being elected as one of our leaders. 
Are you threatening me, master jedi?
Finally solved my computer problem. It turns out that Kingston PC3200 memory is incompatible with my ASUS A7N8E-Deluxe motherboard.
It took me a month to figure that out. I was convinced that it was a problem with Radeon 9800 Pro.
I had to reset the FSB speed from 200 MHz to 166 MHz, but at least Half-Life 2 and Far Cry are running without a glitch now. I can't really notice any performance difference. So I am pretty happy now.

Spent the weekend tossing kids around and giving them piggy-back rides in St. Louis. I came back to a rainy Southern California, but at least work is extremely light today. The flu season is pretty much over, and I actually have a few mornings off this week.
Gotta go back to the gym and pump more iron. I've been either too busy or too lazy lately to exercise.

I'll be in St. Louis for a few days. Everyone behave here!
I hope the SnarkPit will be back in business when I return.

I executed my advanced directive today. I don't want to leave my fate to the hands of a semi-retarded president and a judge.
I want to protect my right to die with dignity and comfort. I recommend everyone here to do the same, even if you're young and healthy (Terri Schiavo was young when she went into a coma--she was 22 at the time).

Kasperg, I noticed the "SALUD" in your screenshots. It's cool to see the Spanish version of HL2.
And beautiful architecture. I love the way the light and shadows play on the surrounding architectural elements.
