What can I say? I like making quizzes. I'm odd. :P

So...

How well do you know Urby?

New Video

I'll be honest. It's just me talking nonsense. Still, it's not just another update video and you may actually find it a little amusing.

Not sure what's up with my camera at the moment though...

So I've been a member of TWHL for just over 7 and a half years. I'm not sure how I feel about that...

So, less people in the office today. The managing director actually turned up today though so we've had a little organisation. At least now we know which client's answerphone we're going to be talking to.

This is the process we follow, just to put things into perspective for you:

1. Get client's file, peruse it to get the general idea of what they need their website to do.
2. Call the client to discuss how they would like their site to look.
3. Build.
4. Get feedback from client.
5. Make alterations and fixes. Complete site.

Now, when you're working the 3 business days between Christmas, steps 2 and 4 often result in talking to a machine, or better yet, someone so intoxicated they've forgotten they were even having a site built.

Makes things difficult.

Oh, and the chairman turned up today, sat around with us for a while and then left again.

WHY AM I HERE!?

Been experimenting with Source again today, mostly focusing on making ragdolls do less falling to the ground and more Hollywood dives.

Introducing the Hollywood Death Dive Ragdoll system (HDDR) :D

Happy birthday to me,
happy birthday to me,
something something something,
and the rest.

Yup, 25 today. Half way to 50, a third of the way to 75...

This makes no sense. Didn't I turn 21 like, a week ago? Stupid time. ¬_¬

So you may recall my journal post about how Cat + Coca-Cola = Duff Keyboard?

Well the day after that, already depressed due to my inability to game, my friend Digital_Ice bought me a copy of RAGE for my upcoming 25th Birthday. When I informed him that I couldn't play it because my keyboard was dying, he also lent me one for the weekend (getting a new one tomorrow)

Yeah, friends are awesome. :P

I hate Mondays.

This morning when I got to my desk I found a 4 page document which contained all of the things one of my clients disliked about their website which I worked on until 7pm on Friday. I was then informed that the client was coming in at noon and wanted to see the points resolved and the site complete...

Ugh.

Luckily I got a brief moment of joy when the client got stuck on the one way system in Shrewsbury, making them 30 minutes late. I got the site done by 25 past, the client came in, went through it and loved it. One hour later, my MD slipped a £50 into my hand as a bonus.

Figured I'd get myself Deus Ex with the money. Got home to find that the wife has been shopping with her mum and spent £50 on herself, so she offered to buy Deus Ex for me.

I hate Mondays, but today has been awesome!

So you know how we used to do Map of the Month here at TWHL? Guess I missed it so I decided to flex my reviewing muscle once again. It may need a couple more attempts to get back into the full swing of things.

Anywho, here is the first of many (maybe) GoldSource mod reviews.

Feel free to link me to any mods you think could do with a good tongue lashing.

So if you happen to have passed through the haiku thread recently you'll notice I mentioned a new vlog. I also mentioned how it focuses on cats. You probably don't care.

Anyway Here is a video about my cat.
