merry christmas!

It's fucking snowing too! (of course, it's now 26ths here :( ) 

Christmas day. Just means you're with a full stomach trying to escape the heat, and forget doing anything in the afternoon.

But who cares, Feliz navidad! 

anyone have a link to the demo zip program? I found it on the speed demos archive but it appears to be infected with the zmist virus (according to AVG) and won't run. 

I'm going to just the cmd version, which seems fine 

If it snows here, the snow will immediately melt usually. It's rare that it goes under 0 deg. C, even at night (the sea is close) ... roses are actually in bloom here still, which is rather unusual.

The fall these days is a rainy season, where everything is always wet. That's all, it drizzles for months on end at a temperature between 5 - 15 degrees, while it just gets darker. Really depressing.

As for the winter, it's no longer wet, hooray - but the only sign of real winter is that I get some ice plates in my boat's cockpit, but it won't freeze through, because the water is too warm...

Meh, climate change. When I was a kid, you could go outside with skis and sledges... even large horse sledges... and buckets and rain-water reservoirs would freeze all the way to the bottom. kids these days don't even know what real snow is.

Only it's dark, really fucking dark as soon as 3-4 PM and the sun doesn't rise more than a hand's width over the horizon. And there are sometimes storms.

In other words, rather boring weather, where you stay indoors as much as possible and get bored/drunk and watch TV whenever you can. I'm actually super-bored atm, and also a little ill, I wish I could just work. Somehow I don't have much energy. The fall wore me out already.

Some snow would actually be welcome... let's see if it happens this year...

Oh, if it only was summer again - these precious six weeks where the world turns into a desert, and you can't go outside either because you'll die of heat, and suddenly it's over like a feverish dream, and it rains, rains and rains.

Weather sucks.

It was better in the old days, too. 

You're what? 90 now? 

34.

Have a good night everyone, may your hangovers be light and your mapping chi strong.

Or something... 

Looking back at the maps released this year, the overall quality is just amazing. I typed the "best map of 2008?" poll earlier today, so with a simple "ok" here it is:

Actually, I didn't drink that much last night, my hands are just cold.

I Hope 2009 is a good year for everyone. 

guys 

still ab it drunk :(, no headache yet 

I have no hangover, something must be broken . . . 

Your social life? 

 

being with people is unbearable unless you are intoxicated. 

I was playing Vampire : TM (which is great, now that its been patched up) when suddenly I got graphical corruption all over my screen and my pc froze.

After resetting the graphical corruption is all over the bios and windows loading screen, and I have boot into safe mode to even get windows to load without freezing the pc. I'm guessing my graphics card has bitten the dust?

Even as a type this now there are red and blue vertical lines down the screen, it doesn't look good at all! :( 

Take your card out, boot up, if the red/blue lines are gone then you can bet it's a goner. 

luckily a mate of mine has a old nvidia 7950 lying around after his recent upgrade so im back in the game, albeit with lowered fps :) 

And all that! :-)

Who is working on the top ten best Quake releases of 2008 list?
