[ BAD SAT SCORES ]
This is so unfair. i'm in the top 2% of my class, I got a perfect 80 on the math section of the PSATs and a 65 and 71 in the other two sections, and now when I take my SATs what do I get? A freakin' 1950!
i can't believe my essay score was so low ... i got a 7 ... and I usually write GREAT essays ... it's because i didn't use their phony SAT words that make the essay sound forced & unnatural ... and the section I absolutely HATE is the one i did the best on ... and I don't know WHAT happened in my math section - i got a 650 in it! my calc teacher was like 'whoa, what happened' ... i SO have to retake this ... i want these scores discarded altogether! |

(That having been said, I do really like the clean minimality of the title sequence and its accompanying "music".) |

Oh, yeah, that glitch in the Lost title sequence has been irking the hell out of me for a while. |

And incredible floating-point error title sequence |

I agree, Wrong Time Capsule is great. I wish my guitar sounded like that. I think there are a lot of songs like that on the new album Friend Opportunity, like +81 and The Perfect Me... I bet you'd like that album a lot. |

I like this "song of the month" idea very much. I read through all of yours. I'm always into music recommendations from folks whose tastes I match up with pretty well, plus also I enjoy all your background stories and also like your descriptions of why you like the songs (written in a language I very much understand and appreciate precisely, not usually the case for me when folks do try to write about that).
As a result, I would have to say that my song of the month now is the "Wrong Time Capsule" by Deerhoof (the song right before your favorite from that album). I'd been meaning for a while to seek out Deerhoof's last two albums, cuz I had heard they were especially good, but after being so underwhelmed by "Milk Man", I was having trouble ever getting the motivation to do it, so I'm glad that your journal prodded me a little more on that. Also it got me to revisit some old Magnetic Fields albums that I hadn't listened to in years. And while actually I'd say I've never been that into "Distant Plastic Trees", I have now fallen in love again with "Holiday".
Ummm, I guess that's all then stuff (or at least musicians) that I was already into, but I also am working my way through familiarizing myself with the other stuff that I'd never listened to (like Blackalicious and Andrew Bird), so perhaps I will have new things to get into as well... |

I did all my mapping with q3radiant, which at the time was pretty much the only way to do it. I think that it is very similar to the editors for Valve software, because it was originally based off the same code? |

What's up everyone!? I just read the entire thread! I'm surprised no one posted on the 5-year anniversary 12-1-06!
Anyways, I've almost beat the game on nightmare, I'm really close. Do you guys know how to make maps for quake III? Which program is usually used for map editing? I've made a lot of maps for counter-strike with hammer editor and it's fun. |

Yes, I think you'll find the bookmarks menu useful... it's intended to replace the solutions manager and it's integrated with playing the game so that you can partially watch a solution and then make an improvement, plus use all of the features like zooming and scrolling while watching a solution, etc. |

The problem occurred with the automatic speedrun because although I had beaten the previous speedrun it didn't seem to recognize it, so then I thought I would try uploading from the solutions manager but that said something about a non-validating solution. It can't be anything to do with bookmarks because I've never tried using them. Perhaps I should have a look at bookmarks, especially if you say that you can do lots of things from there and you are thinking of removing the solutions manager. |

Okay, thanks. I think the solution manager is pretty much deprecated now, since you can do everything there from the bookmarks menu. I should probably just disable it. Would you guys miss it? |
| |
I forget exactly, but it was either the automatic upload or the solution manager; definitely not the bookmarks menu. I'm about 75% sure it was the solution manager. |

Gil: No, that's not a vista problem (someone above reported the same thing, take a look for the explanation). You can safely ignore the error.
mjn and Mary: Hmm, maybe there is something I don't understand going on here. Is this the automatic speedrun upload after you rate a level? Or when you use 'u' from the bookmarks menu? (Or from the solution manager?) |

I don't seem to be able to upload new solutions especially when I have just beaten my previous speedrun. It doesn't seem to accept a second speedrun. By the way I'm not using Vista so it's not a vista problem. |
