That the wallpaper of yours I've been using at work for the last few months is not just a well made graphic as I'd thought, but is in fact a picture of one of the actual metal runes you made in a real fire pit, is pretty cool shit!

I'm impressed!

we know that really, you're still there! muhahaha 

my arm is fucked and i don't want to chat. need vertical mouse :( 

distrans: No comment.

Tron: You're a weanie. :( I did my part!

Spirit: Those are really cool indeed. I'd like to get one, but all I would do with it is let it sit on a shelf and people would ask me "what's that" and all I could say would be "that's a Quake rune." dork++

neg!ke: Don't tempt me.

golden_boy: Cool idea, but I actually already have plans for the ending of that map. :) Maybe for RPGSP2... 

You told me to release it, it's released...I just don't want to release it properly because of the aforementioned gameplay suckage. 

a Quake symbol hood ornament?

or "bonnet medallion" as you brits probably call it. 

I just ordered the domain.

It may be an 'iffy' name, but hopefully it'll grow on ya. I was going to get 'quaked' .ORG or .NET but they're all taken already.

Metl, when all is setup should I submit a news thread detailing the hosting? 

yeah, i'd say that's a worthwhile news item to get out there. 

bonnet medallion

bonnet . . The word conjures an image of a wee girl skipping through the tulips, it's hard to imagine someone saying, "I've got a 420 kicking in 8 cylinders under the bonnet", but I guess it happens. 

...estate car, windscreen, handbrake, tyre, hubcap, bumper...? 

I'm guessing,windscreen is what refer to the windshield, handbrake is what we call emergancy brake on this side of the, er, pond? Tyre is tire. English spelling looks Blakian but that makes it cool. Hubcap and bumper are the same here.

While on the subject of mores. I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday and on Chavs their taste for quaffing champagne. The English have always been known for their manly drinks. Churchhill was a legend for the quantity of Scotch he could put away and still run the country. Why are these chavs adopting the taste of clueless American rappers who like overly sweet girly drinks? 

Spirit, I must have one.

Must. 

It is quite magnificent. 

If your locks get broken and the icon goes missing, you only have yourself to blame. Lunaran sounds like he really, really wants one. 

As I wrote at Quaddicted:
2006-08-11 D'oh! I wrote "Please do NOT tell anyone" below but meant "Please do NOT tell EVERYone" as in not posting it as news anywhere. :)
That "write how much you would like to spend" is just for me so I know what to expect. Higher biddings do not equal better runes or something just as lower bids don't offend me or get lower priority. Quite many Quakers aren't actually rich. I know :)
And DO MAIL me if you want a rune, without a mail in my inbox I would probably forget you...

2006-08-09 I've got quite a few requests for making more of those runes so I thought about it. I probably could get 10-20 slighty smaller and less thick ones done. So everyone who wants a rune please send me a mail and don't forget to write how much you would like to spend (shipping is from Germany, 8 Euros for airmail to anywhere). Any money I "earn" goes straight to the hosting bill. Please do NOT tell anyone so there aren't too many requests by people outside "the community"!

So mail me, if you want one. 

So I've always wondered why they call it emergency brake. Do you really use it in emergencies? Handbrake seems better because you use your hand to operate it, and I only use when the car is parked. 

hl2 textures, where them bitches at?

A wonderful little peruser of HL2 or Source cabinet files, can be gotten at http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=26 , and VTFLib, which can edit and save .vmt and .vtf files, is at http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=40 . Nem rocks =D 

I picked up a Chevy Blazer(?) late at night in Anchorage. I'd been travelling for about 18 hours without any sleep. I'm in a foreign country, driving on the wrong side of the road, in the middle of winter, and I'm looking for the handbrake for at least 10 minutes before I realise that it's not a 'hand' brake, it's a foot pedal brake! Oh ha, ha ,ha.

I was not amused but My Babies thought it was hilarious. 

Mike and Vigil. I remember taking driver's education in HighSchool on my first day of instruction and not really having any prior experience behind the wheel at fifteen.

I was doing figure eights around some cones in a parking lot and I veered way too far at some point. My first instinct for some reason was to grab the emergancy brake, an action that almost flipped the car.

The instructor yelled at me, "Oh my God! You could have ripped out the transmission!"

So, the lesson was, don't actually use it unless you are parked, or your main break gives out and the situation is dire enough to risk the engine.

Anchorage? Sounds like a great getaway from it all. 

I took My Babies to the 25th running of the Iditarod (to watch, not compete).

And I also collected my Martin D41.586833 while I was there :-) 

I just found this on my harddisk, maybe someone likes it, heh.

I should have made it a proper loop... 

If that was on a proper loop and a little bit longer it would be great for a Doom 3 map. :D 

is what I hear about half the time -- the other half, "emergency break"
