Since Dota 2's alpha tools landed I've been practicing with the editor thoroughly. I want to hit the ground running if/when we ever get a full Source 2 SDK (and a sequel to that game that made them famous, Half... something or other?).
I can't stress how much I love the mesh tools, and the raw power they give back to any level designer who suffered with brush tools 10 years past their use by date.
Anyway, there's a ton of new hotkeys and commands I've been drilling into my brain and I decided I need a cheat sheet I can throw up on my second monitor while practicing, so I made one:
It's probably missing a couple of things, so I might add to it when I learn more, but I figure people here might find it useful enough. Share it around if you want, and let me know if I messed up somewhere!

In under a month the most important vote in my lifetime will take place. I am super psyched. Scotland finally has the chance to be free from the despicable far right elite in England.
All English and Welsh TWHLers will be welcome on my couch if they wish to emigrate after the vote.
Here's a great discussion on the matter if you want to get informed from an outsider looking in.
And here's an article that sums it up pretty brilliantly.

Has anybody from here heard about BitTorrent Sync? If you use it, how well does it perform?
If not, what is your favorite file-syncing app(not necessarily cloud)?
I use Dropbox but I'm looking for alternatives.

I was riding flatland bmx on my bike yesterday in the cul-de-sac in front of my house when a thunderstorm began to roll in. As the first lightning struck right in front of me I felt a strong shock in my left thumb. I had been slightly shocked by it!
I headed straight inside. My thumb is still very slightly stiff. I think I'm lucky I didn't get it worst.

I changed my Gigabyte HD4850 with an MSI HD7750. Now I can run Crysis FullHD.
My wife and I are making something. It won't be ready for about 7 months though.

Do you ever just look back on your day and wonder what the actual hell you were doing?
I always tend to post my weird shoot experiences on here, but this one tops them all. So much unbelievable fun.

I've gone from studying architecture to making toys.
I have too many irons in the fire as they say, so i'm trying to focus on one hobby for now.
Let me know your favorite childhood physical toys Mine were probably legos and transformers. Any suggestions as to toys I should check out?
Yes that's Samus in the back ground, she wasn't cheap.
Oh and neither was the Omega Supreme G1 transformer!
I've had to further divide my shelves.

I am now... no longer the man you call Scotch. I am now the knight who says ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing!

My usual way of getting machines was either through people i know or ebay which is a rare and quite expensive occasion. So i decided to look in the local ad's (something like craigslist ?) what i usually avoided doing for some reasons.
So i searched about and found this for cheap:
(Sorry for low quality pics, took these with my crappy phone at work)
Anyway, its a Dell PowerEdge 2950 in a great condition. I wasn't such a big Dell fan, giving prior experience with their custom connectors and weird issues, but this thing is insane.
You can literally take this apart with just your hands, everything is held in place by tabs (blue color for removable, orange for hot-swap).
Its got an Intel Xeon quad core (socket 771, can't remember the model though), 4gb of pointless fully buffered memory 
This thing is subject for another cpu and more ram. Also it sounds like a jet plane when it starts up, so fans will have to be replaced when this goes to the basement 
Both PSU's are still there and working, 750w each and its said they are power hungry so im planning on running just one since anyway the power at the basement is crap anyway who needs 2 psu's ?
It also came with 2x73gb and 2x300gb 15k rpm SAS drives.
The next buy for the "datacenter" is a UPS and i spy some cheap APC ones as well (grin)

I just wanted to say hi to you guys. Its been a while since I've poked around with Hammer, even longer since I've poked around TWHL. Life caught up to me a bit, and employment has been and continues to be my biggest focus. It makes me happy to know TWHL is still around. Best wishes for continued success!
