Thanks, Thermo! The first few years were the hardest. Then it was just about perseverance! Speaking of which, it's time to prep for my little toybox of a class.

This is quite accurate, actually. doy and I were the two people working on it, and our efforts probably summed to be about six months apiece, stretched out over a longer period due to laziness, distractions, other jobs, and school. The price tag at the end should put the rest of you to shame, but f...

Good story, bra.

That was not at all the reason for my reply, it was to convey the meaning of the post itself, nothing more. Well, either way, we don't pay a dime for Aleph One, and we should be happy for what we have. And while I'm at it, where's that lua script that will write my thesis for me while I play? Slack...

On the contrary, it will only get finished if somebody who knows how to do it wants to do it, and does it. Your asking contributes nothing towards making it happen. I suppose his asking could lead to someone who is bored but capable picking up the flag and running with it. This isn't very likely, c...

Oh man, I just want to thank all of you for this thread. Here I was, sitting around depressed, thinking about how much work I needed to get done today, and about how I'm just months away from almost certain unemployment. Frankly, I was feeling sorry for myself and in need of a great big boost. Dugit...

Demonstrably you must have been the special child. By the way, you aren't hiding your age in your writing style. At least Envy and Jamacan don't pretend to be more mature in their writing. (Also, they use words that they actually know the definitions for.) Aw, give him a break. No Child Left Behind...

My Eppy-sense was tingling. I don't frequent these boards, mainly because I've managed to 4get Mararthon.

I'll PM Pfhorrest.

He designs chips, not cities. I believe at chip level it sometimes happens that particles are suddenly located elsewhere. Similarly, but way less often, it would be possible an entire person was located at the other side of a steel wall. Either way, I shouldn't be doing this discussion because I fo...

I don't know what to do when I have to choose between a physics PhD candidate on the internet and a civil engineer PhD candidate that is my brother. Civil engineering is a valuable, productive field. But they do to physics what physicists do to math (to whit: "dirac delta function" -- I c...

Similarly, I could never outdo my own musique loch, THAT SONG (Ep remix). Thanks as always to Irons for contributing the nits.

Thanks everyone for your patience. I am pleased to announce the release of Family Style 2.0. It contains 9 maps: most of the maps from Family Style 1.777 are included, with a couple newer ones. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll certainly do what I can, and if in some reasonable time frame (a week or two) I don't feel I'm making any progress, I'll just post the original.

I'm a bit confused, do you mean that you be more active there now, or just that those places will be the places to contact you? or are those places now added on to contacting you on IRC or here? He, like much of the elder guard, has moved on from this place. I'll periodically check in until I finis...

Is this pack still publicly available? I've seen a few people host it recently but it appears to be gone from S7 and I didn't see it on fileball. It's not publicly available at the moment. I took it down quite a while ago, intending to make some relatively substantial adjustments to it and haven't ...

Seriously, dude.

Anyway, cut it out with all the heavy-handedness, people. This isn't the final episode of Star Trek or anything.
