Yup... I guess I'm changing my prefix... :).
We trudge through our lives, day by day, step by step. We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we survive.
In short, we exist. But it's not enough to merely exist. Exisitence for existence's sake is failure. To truly be sucessful, we have to live.
And to live, we have to think, feel, fall in love, and create.
It's not always easy to live. We have our share of bumps and bruises along the way. We'll think things that just aren't true, feel emotions that we'd rather not. Perhaps we develop feelings for the wrong person, or find that something we've created has a fatal flaw. Maybe we simply fall flat on our faces and break something. Human bodies are fragile like that.
But we can't let those brusies stop us. If we become bitter over them, then we'll have lost sight of what truly matters. In order to keep living, we have to keep striving for our goals. Because it's our goals that make us human.
So don't despair. It's too early to give up. Pick yourself up off the floor, dust yourself off, and get back on your road. Because there's still much to learn. There are a million things left to feel. You will find your true love. And before you close your eyes one last time, you'll make something wonderful.
Because even though you died, you lived first.

Here's the official thingy/

Exciting news on the Hazard Course development front! We are pleased to announce Hazard Course: Infinity, and the position of writer being finally filled!
Sadly, there is also some...less good news, but on the bright side, I may be actually getting a payday from this.

Have you guys heard about Coursera?
It's a website where you can enroll in some courses held by different colleges around the world. They are totally free, or so it seems.
But there are a lot of interesting things there, and you even get a certificate for attending them( but I think it is this certificate that isn't free).

- What is the actual method of "attending" these courses? I couldn't find out, is it participating in some kind of conference like you'd do with google+?
- Is it compulsory to attend all the hours? If so, this is hard to manage for people with a busy schedule.
- Finally, what do you think about all this?

Well since we are all about datacenters now:
The balcony datacenter was moved to the basement
Pics:

http://i.imgur.com/TBFb6Ip.jpg
So i changed the shit TP-Link to a more business oriented Mikrotik RB2011 router, which works like a charm. Added an older 1.3 Ghz Duron (I hate AMD, but il take what i can get) to act as my web server. Modified the UPS to work with a car battery in case the power goes and you never know when it will in a basement
.
Both servers have 2 HDD's and they back them selves up by copying the necessary files to another drive (makeshift RAID 1).
Reasons for moving:
1. No more noise out of the balcony at night.
2. Free power.
3. Closer to the ISP's switches with which i like to tinker
Recently acquired a few motherboards to turn into a few working boxes

Socket 604 mobo, sadly it just does not want to turn on, some weird AGP-pro issue
http://i.imgur.com/fMutdC3.jpg
Socket 478 with a Pentium 4, just needs some low density ram and its good to go.
The existing machines are running stable for more than 3 months since i moved them there.

Shit, its been a while, Have not been on this site is such a long time, have been working and doing the school thing. Lost all my time to do what I love, and that is dick around with half-life and making maps and what not. How are all of you? This is the first website I have visited in my new datacenter, if you wanna see what it looks like you can check out the security cam @ http://cam1.dothackinc.com/ or the panoramic cam is http://pancam.dothackinc.com/livevideo, note the pan cam, takes a couple minutes to load all four images for some reason.

This should be made into a mod.
I just made myself a little pinhole monacle out of a copper pipe.
Basically you put the large hole to your eye and look at stuff through the small hole. It's surprisingly effective, while my left eye is quite short sighted I can read 2 inch high lettering at about 7 metres using this. It lets you focus on things fairly well at any distance, however it is limited by the fact that the small aperture only lets in a small amount of light, so it doesn't work well in dim light.
I got the idea when my friend forgot his glasses the other day which prevented him from taking notes in a lecture, so I kerjiggered a monacle together out of a piece of paper. I thought I might try making a more permanent one.
I sanded it a bit to shine it up, although unfortunately there are marks on one end from the vice.
I also haven't got round to making a remote ignition system for the pulse-jet engine from my last journal, as I have yet to get some long enough wires. Maybe in the next few weeks I will.

Just saying. Unconditional offer from edinburgh. Clean slate of unconditionals, so goddamn happy right now.

Some more horrifying photo's of the carport fire:
As you can see it was pretty freaking intense. Sheesh.
Displacements just got 4000% easier <3
1) Use face normal mode when modifying displacements
2) Alt+Right-Click the face you would like to modify. The displacement axis maps perpendicular to the face
3) (I previously knew this but...) Holding Shift while moving a displacement vertex makes positioning your mesh much easier.
Fml i wish i knew this 6 years ago

I missed this journal by a day!

A lot of time has passed, and TWHL has been one of the companions in my internet journey over the years.

Anyone play the new Simcity? I only recently acquired an Origin account and I have 0 friends, I need friends to built with as I'm not going to play with strangers.
Everyone knows that I'm Dracula. So I did this.
Oh, for the custom title here so I can make it "What is a man?" sigh A "man" can dream.
