Back into business

[>BKA< T Wrecks]

Ok, some of you guys may already know at least parts of the story, but here's the complete version:

I had to take a break from waypointing because I was busy writing my dissertation.
Originally, I had planned to take up my work beginning with th 1st of December, i.e. day 1 after handing in my dissertation.
However, when I tried to start CS, it kept crashing on me, although I hadn't changed a bit since the last time I successfully ran it. I tried two reinstalls, but to no avail. Since my OS was a bit buggy at that time anyway, and my HDs cluttered up with stuff, I decided to make a clear cut, i.e. format and re-install everything.
It took me some time to sort out the stuff I wanted to keep and burn it onto not too chaotic backup CDs. Then I spent much time browsing for new or updated versions of the proggies I used, or even fresh alternatives.
When the PC was back and the key components and applications installed, I installed CS and wanted to run it - but it still crashed.
Today I have found and fixed the error, and by tomorrow I can start waypointing again (I'll take my time in configuring and adjusting my CS the way I want it to look and feel).

So a big fat sorry to all you guys who have been waiting for stuff I had promised to make - I didn't forget about you, and I hope this little blurb explains the delay. My first task, however, will be to finish checking and (if needed) adjusting the standard map waypoints to be included in official PODBot mm releases.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Um, *cough* ... *browses agenda* *flipflipflipflip* ah, here, let's see:

1. Check standard map waypoints
2. MakeWaypoints for some new maps like de_halla or cs_rhs22
3. Finish clan[00] birthday package
4. Finish the CS:CZ map waypoints requested ages ago
5. Fulfill some other requests
6. Waypoint the Schroet Kommando's aim map
7. Think of some smart stuff for the WP HP

I care.

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

it's always better to make waypoints on request than in advance IMO, if you see what I mean. Else you can get the feeling that nobody cares, but it's never really the case.

[stefanhendriks]

somehow i know that feeling (hint @ pmb)
