In fact, my original post had something like "anything to get that dreadful logo replaced" at first. 

HDGDL release for fuck's sake! 

what's with the logo hate... 

 

HDGDL is totally decayed by now. Poor bunnies.

Poem Contest sounds great, especially since that is open for anyone (which I find important).

People uncertain about their sexual orientation get scared by the logo a lot. I am awfully sorry about that. You could try blocking the image with your browser or replacing it with a giant dong. On the other hand there is no danger in pink, just don't wear it. 

it's a bit cartoony, but the concept is strong. Really the hyperlinks on the rest of the site need to match the pink instead of being orange. 

I dont know how to make logos :\ I�m out! 

but a speedmap or turtle event i might make something 

that's would be great
b/d logo and drunk contest ;)
hoooray 

Drunk contest with photos! 

Breathalyzer score as proof. 

I think it will be "Haiku Reviews". 

just remember: drinking alone is enough to make you cool. 

My vote is for a riddle that has something to do with Quake. For extra points make it rhyme.

random question: anyone want to throw together a small, moody start map for one of my projects? Email me if so: djg164@mail.usask.ca 

Tronyn i have a map that i will not finish and might work I will sent you when i get home from holidays 

Extra points awarded for being a bitter, cynical bastard. 

I advised voodoochopstiks against learning Portuguese because then he might end up talking like you -- all sexist and hateful ;( 

 

Inertia to be a Portuguese is not for everyone...

pure race! 

halloweein anyway? 

i've been married in halloweeen oct31 2006 

I concur. 

HDD crash, entirely my fault. Put the HDD on top of the pc case as I was about to build it in, then for some reason tilted it slightly to get a better look inside - woosh, Indy Nosebone. I don't expect to be able to recover any of the data. A pity, mostly because of the loss of many unique mp3s (my mixes folder alone was like 25GB or so).
And I even had a chance to do backups as the HDD still worked for a day afterwards, but I didn't use it in time.

The map/vis state file is safe, though. Ever since an earlier HDD crash, I keep backups of all WIP stuff online. 

I got careful about redundancy and backups as well. I have a dedicated lowpower/no noise Intel Atom-based NAS solution: pic here with 5 disk slots, 4 of them are available to a built-in hardware RAID card (raid 0, 1 and 5 are supported), important data gets moved from my desktop PC to a mirror disk configuration on this NAS.

And the really really important stuff also gets automatically backed up online (there are some software options to automate this) on a weekly basis, just in case my apartment catches fire or something. 

I use a Drobo unit at home for data safety (I save most data files there and Time Machine backs up to it as well). I don't have an off site solution but I really should get on that.
