Hey there guys!

Long time no see... I just happened to think 'bout ye, and just watch it - ye'r alive and goin' on!

How's things for you, guys?

For me... well, it's really a mess, you don't want to know

No really. A mess. Big mess. It's like sandpeople all around and no blaster to get rid of them. Just that there are no sandpeople, but deadly deadlines, and blaster goes for working laptop. No, really. Mess.

Fyn, ye old dreamer, are you alive?

Is he alive?

And Jones, Proto, Doro, Ross, Guru and ALL others?

Filo · « **Reply #1 on:** March 23, 2008, 11:29 pm »

Hey, nice to see you again. Sadly Fyn and Jones aren't around anymore really, although I've heard rumors that they occasionally pop in, to check on progress. But most everyone else is still around. In addition, there've been a few new additions to the team while you were gone, too.

Good to see you again.

Galileus · « **Reply #7 on:** March 24, 2008, 03:02 pm »

Hey all new guys, then

It's sad Fyn nor Jones aren't around... I remember how much fun I've because of both of them

And it's really nice to see, how this community is keeping up... It was some long time, and life still flows here

And you still haves all that stupid-cool emotes here!

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #8 on:** March 24, 2008, 03:14 pm »

The Nameless Sith Lord · « **Reply #10 on:** March 24, 2008, 03:43 pm »

Galileus · « **Reply #15 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:05 pm »

Hey there Doro!

Will ya guys let me peek a little or I'm supposed to wait like all others for release?

For all others, I was working in modelling department

Maybe it's just data lack, but I can see you are still working on our models

Prototype · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2008, 06:36 am »

Sup Galileus, we are still alive and kicking, nice to see you again. Thigns have been a little slower than we would have liked, but we are dealing with it and moving on.

Now now, its not nice to peep through the little hole. Keep watching the front page for news my friend, we just recently started getting back on track with getting monthly updates. If you want you can re-apply in the appropriate part of the forum.

Welcome Back!

Galileus · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2008, 12:01 pm »

I'll probably go some freelance for you with texturing work, my skills are way another class than back then

But it must wait 'til finishing current works of course - I blows a contract and I can kiss my precious future good-bye... And well... I need new laptop ^^

I'm now in my home-home town, but going back to university-home town so probably will be cut off the net a little...

So stay tuned, hopefully in 2 weeks up to a month I should be able to help you a little once again

Well... from some point, I think, this thread is not about me anymore

Sergeant Lyeman · « **Reply #31 on:** April 01, 2008, 05:31 pm »

sorry you had to experience that, backroom gets off topic quickly

Ceteral · « **Reply #32 on:** April 01, 2008, 06:56 pm »

It's always about Gal. He is the center of attention. Other than Fyn.

hitman_225 · « **Reply #33 on:** April 01, 2008, 11:45 pm »

and here is where we start to get off topic again 2 posts later

Ceteral · « **Reply #34 on:** April 02, 2008, 07:17 am »

Gal wanted to be the center of attention! I made him the second to the center of attention. Best I could muster. Honestly though, nice to see a familiar face.

Galileus · « **Reply #35 on:** April 02, 2008, 06:54 pm »

Heh, that's why I wasn't too active on public boards

It's jungle out here

Sergeant Lyeman · « **Reply #36 on:** April 02, 2008, 07:25 pm »

Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Don't worry about it though, most of the staff do not post in backroom.

Ross · « **Reply #37 on:** April 03, 2008, 12:30 am »

Jeez, why didn't anyone tell me about this?

Welcome back to the forums!
It's a shame you had to start off in the backroom, it's like the bloody amazon forest.

So, are you still in england, or did you never move there in the first place?

hitman_225 · « **Reply #38 on:** April 03, 2008, 01:46 am »

and on that note, let's take this off topicness to my randomness topic (should be the last thing off topic in here, dude, so u should be the center of attention in this topic again)

oh so you caught it too proto? sorry Gal, for the off-topicness

Galileus · « **Reply #41 on:** April 03, 2008, 09:07 am »

Ross, I'm still in Poland, not sure in fact if is that good or bad... But I must keep it quick, cuz I must return laptop that I'm working on now (it's borrowed), so I'll write little more about tomorrow when it'll be back with me

And for offtopickness, well, I've seen worse than that

Sergeant Lyeman · « **Reply #42 on:** April 03, 2008, 02:59 pm »

I have to say this: Proto you have 1138 posts!!! Cool

Im done now. *hides so K-bob can't hit me with the ban stick*

Galileus · « **Reply #43 on:** April 04, 2008, 02:26 pm »

Well, i could have more that that if i wish... And I have sandals in my home!!

Blah, Ross, I'll answer once I'll be sober, now I just get me brand-new Pavilion 9k to play with after 2 months of being cut-off, so... Blah, i'm drunk with air

Solar · « **Reply #44 on:** April 04, 2008, 03:35 pm »

i hate being cut-off, my PC is being fixed and have no idea when it will be back.

Galileus · « **Reply #45 on:** April 05, 2008, 03:02 pm »

Hey, I'm kinda ok now

Well, I was going to go to England, and I'm pretty sad I'm here in Poland... But without any backup there this would be just too risky, and there was so much to lose, right? So, I ended on polish technical IT studies, and they're not bad, still - I know I can count only on myself, and studying will not give me much for granted. I hope they'll be good enough to push me through worse parts of programming and let me fit in - that way, I could be 3D Artist + programmer, and that is just best way to get project lead in really nice companies...
And for my 3D, Blender Compendium was great success, gone with 120% of starting circulation and get best reviews - so our publisher asked us for second book, this time aimed for mid-class users. It started with idea of few big tutorials and ended on full-scale making of. Also, my friend resigned from His share, so I was left with publication on my own - I don't need to say, how much it is to have that class publication in age of 19, right? Prestige! Anyway, it just couldn't be so easy, right...?
So, my only working laptop died in new years eve. Dunno why - but I was left cut-off and unable to work for good three months, as in service they was forced to replace whole main board. And, funny thing, after they did - it died again. So I was forced to borrow laptops from others and work that way, with all project data stored on travel-drive. Just yesterday I get my new laptop, as I can't risk working on such unstable machine, when there are deadlines that matters. Anyway, I'm not bad now with work, it's just some cross-check (of 400 pages) and I have 10 days for it - not bad. In BAD times I was forcing myself to work for few days in a row without more than 2h sleep and with no more than 4h of rest (split between work-times). This way I was able to get 5% of whole job per day, and that means whole book done in 20 days with that speed... while first term was counted for 3 months. But I wish I will never have to do this again...
Worst thing for me is that laptop thing - I was forced to spend lot of money on that thing, while I was hoping to buy myself a motorbike. Motorbike! Ha, and not some motorbike, but Honda CBR, 125 probably. And completely customized paintjob.
Now chance that I'll be able to afford it is... well... rather small. Life is cruel after all, isn't it?

That's all my sad life

And if you're curious, what kind of "thingy" I'm doing for upcoming blender-book, well...

The Abrams Tank looks very nice, hope you dont mind I might save it as a wallpaper. What type of laptop (brand) did you buy?

Galileus · « **Reply #48 on:** April 05, 2008, 11:14 pm »

Yep, my pleasure

Aaaand my pretty little baby (that I didn't wanted so much ^^): HP Pavilion dv9790ew (T9300,17", 4GB, NV8600 ,2X250GB)

Ross · « **Reply #49 on:** April 06, 2008, 11:31 am »

Not bad, must have cost a little though, shame you didn't ask before.

The Dell Vostro range (it's for small businesses, so shhh) is cheap (£580 around), and gets you pretty much specs like that.
Anyway, I added you on deviantArt, i'm rgphoto

and [censored], two books at 19? I can imagine you'll be snapped up pretty quickly by any number of companies!

Galileus · « **Reply #50 on:** April 06, 2008, 11:37 am »

Got ya!

And for Dell, well, i don't like dell

And (more) seriously, I was considering getting laptop from USA by someone, it would be 200% difference in class, but unfortunately I need my laptop here and now, so this was a must.

M Doyle · « **Reply #51 on:** April 06, 2008, 11:44 am »

Nice modle tank. How long did it take you to make it?

Galileus · « **Reply #52 on:** April 07, 2008, 05:42 pm »

Well, its hard to tell... All that problems + writing a book about what I'm doing... If you sum it up, it should close in 2-3 weeks with 4-6h of work per day. I think.
