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 :D

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...

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!

Got ya! :)

And for Dell, well, i don't like dell :P 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.

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. :P
