I also think you guys should make available on the server the oldest map from TWHL, which is a counterstrike map:
Cs_Canbunk by Marwood(7th June, 2003 )

[EDIT] Uhm, okay... seems like the download link is dead.

Then consider adding the 2nd oldest cs map from TWHL, which is De_Priory by Manhog(24th June, 2003 )

Frankly I don't really think the design is appropriate. Sure, it's simple.
To start with, I don't enjoy the font used in the blog posts. Since you're writing about music, hence art, you should use a more stylized one. The current one fits more in a techscience blog imo.

The general aspect of the blog, at a first glance, hardly reminds me of music at all.
I don't know webdesign, but I say what I feel I should look at.

Also I see you're sometimes providing download links. They are pretty bland and don't stand out from the rest of the text. That's just lazy.
And the background of it is spartanic, I would somehow suggest the idea of art with a subtle, non-eye-catching background.

Not meaning to make you angry Ant, just saying my opinions :).

Hey guys, did you know that shooting yourself in the head is the quickest and easiest solution to die?
No, but I heard it cures depression.

If you feel better, you should post here saying you didn't vote for yourself. Not that this assures that you won't be voting for yourself, but it has to do a bit with the psychology of your mind.

I didn't vote for myself.

You mean it's repetitive to put a cycler_sprite inside an invisible solid wall every time you want to put a model on your map?
Well, there isn't a fgd. that "automates" this process if this is what you want(I don't think you can code a fgd that automatically puts a cycler_sprite in an invisible func_wall anyway).

The fastest way to do it is copy-pasting that block ;).

Not that it's forbidden, but really, it's just odd. And I really needed to point that out.

Why don't you just start with small steps? I've played excellent 2-3 maps mods that, when I come to think of the authors, they probably dedicated a lot of their free time to making them. And they're only a few maps long.

For example, Sebastian or Mission Improbable.

I watched Brestskaya krepost(Brest Fortress) in this weekend. It's that kind of movie that makes you admire people for what they are capable, and the bravery and innocence of children. And reminding me that time passes like a bird, and I'm just about to enter maturity :(.
Also, this film gave me unprecedented motivation to learn a language. I don't know really why, it just gave me motivation to learn russian. I want to be able to speak and read basic russian until this autumn. I love how it sounds. And also because I'd feel awesome :D.

You can also save money for bridges that cost <250 euros. More expensive bridges only have bigger zoom(they're also called superzooms).
But that "x##" is a bit deceiving.
For example, my P100 is 26x, and the new P500 is 36x. But there's almost no difference. It's about the focal distance: the highest is divided by the lowest and you obtain the zoom. That means that some lens that are capable to photograph to, let's say, 1 km distance and be able to distinguish a human face can only have a 3x optical zoom. But that's because the focal distance range is in the upper values.

Here's how you can get the most bang for buck: if you're not interested in the zoom, congratulations, you can already cut a lot of the price. Almost all the cameras ranging from ultracompact to superzoom share the same sensor size(cmos or ccd): ~ 1/2,3 inch. So you'll only have to look for some camera that offers good manual control over its functions(the only thing I can't do with my P100 like a DSLR is manually focusing during filming, but perhaps you're not interested in a filming feature).

Be sure to rely on snapsort.com for comparisons though, because lens and picture quality are important factors.

Crollo, I don't believe you don't get at least a damn dollar a day. Even if you save 3$ in a week, you'd still be able to get a decent camera with manual controls in a year.
Ok, maybe 4$week :D.

Wow, this thread has updated without my knowledge. Where have I been?
Not everybody has multi-millionaire equipment, and in my case all I can take that looks decent is macro shots. Just because it's a camera doesn't mean it'll look good with outdoor shots.
You know my bridge camera, Nikon P100? I saved money more than a whole year to buy it.
That's like 30 eurosmonth if it would've been a year.

I reccommend you saving some money for a pretty similar bridge, but cheaper:
Nikon L120. It's about $280.

I posted that on my blog a few days ago.

Anyway, I was born 7 years after the Chernobyl disaster, which pretty much affected our country too(some old woman talked about having blue milk from the sheep). And I live in the northern part of the country, closer to Ukraine.

And here I am, perfectly healthy and without any malformation( or yet to be discovered, at least ...).

Does having a CRT monitor for 9 years, and sometimes standing 5 hours in front of it since 2004, and not needing to wear glasses(recently made an ophthalmologic test) count as a superpower? :D
