Insane pwnage!
I came across this link today whilst browsing some forums on my lunch break. Hopefully you'll find it just as funny as I did - and marvel at the insane pwnage. That is all.

Red Nineteen (final post I promise)!
To summarise the fame and fortune that my recent project, Red Nineteen gave me:
Firstly, I wrote a project log about it on the Bit-tech forums - this has received over 32,000 hits to date.
Secondly, I entered a competition on the Custom PC website, the entry to which can be seen here.
Thirdly, around the same time, my project log was mentioned on the front page of Bit-tech.
Fourthly, I received an email from a Russian guy, asking me if he could translate my log for a Russian modding site.
Fifthly, I then received an email from the editor of Custom PC, stating that I had won the Readers' Drives competition.
Sixthly, I then had a photographer visit my house and take a few pictures of Red19 and unfortunately, of me.
You can see more of the resulting article and several pictures and screenshots of various things here. Phew! That's a lot of links - a bit like, Pimp my PC I guess. If you're wondering why I've written this repetitive post, it's because I was adding to the hardware page on slickhouse.com and thought I'd mirror the links here. Simple as.
Also, if you're quick enough (sometime this month) you'll see the article I wrote and the pictures taken of me, on the Custom PC website. Go to the Readers' Drives section and navigate to the 'This Month's Winner' page.

Boxart
What else to do on a Sunday evening, other than mess around with tutorials you come across on the net...
I found this tutorial on boxart, which after following for an hour or so, I came up with this:
Made entirely in Photoshop - have a go if you're bored and see if you can come up with anything better!

Minibuses
Today was to be a busy day for me at work... first off, I had to be up 15 minutes earlier than usual and into work for 8:45. Once in work, I had to pick up the minibus from a colleague's house and drive it with another colleague and a learner to Skegness. At Skegness, we were to pick up another 4 learners and an extra colleague - and then proceed to drive to Sandringham in Norfolk.
Sounds relatively simple. 30 minutes to work. An hour to Skegness. 2 hours to Norfolk. 3 hours at a craft event or something. Then 2 hours back to Skegness. An hour to work. 30 minutes home. Which would mean I'd be back in the warmth of this house by 7pm or so.
However, no sooner had I picked up the minibus and just got used to driving the ~55MPH shit-piece, that it broke down! A quick call to work and we were given a lift back. Then I decided to sit it all out and spend the day at the office. Though my colleague proceeded to take the learner and meet up with the others at Skegness - in the learner's car.
Another however - about 2 hours into the journey (from work), the learner's car broke down! RAC came out and met them, but her membership wasn't the full whack, so she couldn't get a lift back to Lincoln. Instead, she had to fork out £150 or drive a bit closer, so that her car was within the range of her RAC membership. My colleague got a lift back to work in the end, but we've still not heard from the learner - she could still be sitting by the roadside, awaiting a recovery vehicle that WILL do as it says on the tin.
So, the moral of the story is - things can happen in twos. Lightning can strike twice - or in this case, a broken vehicle.

Simple. I got to 440 on the first go, but haven't matched it yet...
