I'm still here guys. Mapping. Working on my first source map. Needs time.
For those who are requesting texturing for maps, this is just a reminder: Map comes first, textures second. More gets done faster and more accurately this way. Screenshots would help, RMF's will help a lot.
~Thanks.

The Children of Bodom concert pwned, they even recorded the whole concert for the official dvd

Havent mapped in so long, hoping to try and map a few floor plans I have found on the net. Trying to keep something creative going and lots have changed sence I mapped last. Most of all I got married, have a 2yo stepson and have another son on the way. I basicly only work and play with my stepson and a few games. Hopefull I can get the hang of the new Hammer and Source mapping. 
I discovered something that makes me even a sicker being then I was before...
I remember most of the errors listed in tommy's error page.
Well these were totally unintresting news, and here are some more:
My forum posts per day count decreases slowly. I'm so happy that it happens, in my last post it was 10.6 per day now it's 10.5!!
I just did something that makes this entery abit more important! I made my first texture!

A New HL1 Project is starting. Issues?!!!
This was sent to all the Issues people:
I'm not sure how far Firebinder would have wanted me to spread this....
So, if you're interested in another HL:Spirit Project, make your self known by broadcasting your approval via any electronic dispatch.
PS: Don't Email me - i don't/won't/didn't run the mod.

Over on the Spirit of Half-Life boards there's been a certain amount of interest expressed in doing another PQL/Issues like map-pack of Spirit based maps. It probably means I'm certifiably insane, but I'm actually considering leading it. I wanted to find out how you guys felt about it first though - after all Issues was a group effort.If you haven't heard of Issues, urgh.. Look it up at moddb or read about the idea here: http://unquenque.com/quantum/
I'm not really sure how much interest there might be in doing another project based on HL1. I know some of the VERC regulars tried to do a PQL3 based on HL2, but it seems to have fizzled - so this might be really "beating a dead horse" so to speak.
I guess to find out I'll just have to make a few posts around and see what kind of response I can get.
I don't have eMails any more for all of our orignal group - for that matter I'm not sure if the one's I have for all of you are still good. If you know of any others, please pass this on to them (and let me know what their eMail addresses are).
Thanks!

My sister-in-law just delivered a healthy baby girl yesterday. My wife and I were there with them during labor and delivery.
I am an uncle now.

Okay, I'm taking a break from my sven-coop map/HL Mod. I will be working on the HLDM compo. It's going to be future gothic themed like quake. I can't give you much information on it yet or I'd have to kill you.
Feeling kind of low now. Tired, angry.....you get the idea.
I'm having mixed emotions of the people I signed on to work with me on my next project. Although, being green as they are, still show much promise.
But damn, I had a deadline of 7 months and...hell, we haven't got anything done apart from the script and aspects of concept art.

According to wikipedia A journal (through French from late Latin diurnalis, daily) is a daily record of events or business.
Great. Now that that's settled, on to the events of the day. At approximately 9:15 I looked up Journal on Wikipedia, and shortly thereafter posted this, my first journal entry.
Porting my multi-year spanning counterstrike map, cs_condos, over to Source is going reasonably well. More on this later, right now I have to watch Doom on DVD!

Sooo...Windows Live Messenger.
I managed to snag an invite to the beta testing of the new MSN Messenger and frankly, I'm not sure what to think of it. Put simply, Live is just MSN with a new skin. The program seems to use more resources than MSN 7.5.
Live still contains all the annoyances of the unpatched version of 7.5, only this time its blended into the interface a little better. Didn't stop me hunting Google for a patch to get rid of the ads, the various buttons for crappy features I'll never need as well as disabling Wink and Nudge support (oh how I hate those things). Some people say I'm being overly critical - those people can go screw themselves.
Even so, the patched version of Live doesn't have the cleanliness of my patched 7.5. In fact, the Live interface looks a lot like my Wordpress powered website - dunno if that's good or bad. Perhaps I just need a better patch, but the contact list feels very cluttered and somewhat plastic.
Its still a beta, but I doubt the situation will get any better. I'm hoping that mess.be will release another of their awesome patches for Live, so I can fix it properly. Similarily, I hope the new Messenger Plus! is released soon, so I can get some functionality out of the dang program.
Overall: Not particularly satisfied.
