Well I don't have a scanner nor a digital camera, so help from me.

Try Sleep, he's usually a helpful fellow

You must have me confused with someone else

@Wolven, try using Paint, it should be in accessories in your start menu (if your using Win 98 etc

) Plus save it as a jpg....try not to upload anything too big please

ok here we go this hopefully should work however i couldn't save it as a jpeg with paint only as a gif or bitmap hence the appaling quality

Well, what can I say?...

Equally if not more late in reply...

I agree that it does look good, but it's a pain getting ready for school in to morning, especially when you woke up late. Also, it feels really weird when we have casual days - no uniform, for fund raising - since you're used to seeing everyone wearing the same thing (although there are small variations).

I once walked into school completely unaware that it was "Casual wear" day, in other words the entire school was decked out in their everyday clothes and i was the only one wearing the normal school uniform (not the tie and shirt at the time)

I get the impression that you will do well academically, so you will probably have to wear a suit to work as well

All of that reminds me of Office Space "On Friday it's Hawaian shirt day, so if you wanna go ahead and wear an Hawaian shirt to work, then, do that....*silence*....oookay"

Beware, Viv's hugs are addictive! She's already enslaved Beldin, and came close to getting me too.

I tried my hardest

Maybe I needed more hugs and less taunting....*takes notes for next time*

Sleep:
People wear Hawaiian shirts of their own free well here

It's all very scary to come in on fridays sometimes.

Sabre: I must have given you other hugs, I'm sure you've helped me with many BG2 problems

*hugs him anyway*

Yeah, there are always some people who forget about casual days.

I'm doing ok at school, don't have much idea of what I'm going to be doing after I finish yet - so it's possible that I'll be wearing a suit to work in the future, at least I don't have to worry about getting use to wearing it.

Edit - Just saw Vivien's post

You might have, I can't remember. Thanks for the hugs, *hug Vivien in return*

Maybe not signing me up as Georgi's slave would have helped too.

Just saw your photo, BTW. You look a fair bit like Susan Sarandon when she was younger.

Funny thing is no one in the whole school (560 IIRC) forgot....just me

What are you good at in reference to work? You could always follow your BG work and get a job in that field

@Viv, people purposely wearing Hawian shirts, that is scary

Thanks, though I cringe when I see the pictures I posted here

I'm going to take a picture with my bunny sometime

Speaking of...I got up this morning, opened the bedroom door and there was Edwin (my bunny) sitting in front of the door staring up at me. He has learned how to push open the top latch of his cage and jump out!

Who knows what trouble he was getting into all night long!

Hey, YOU'RE the one with the Georgi *hug* in your signature

You started it

Yep, big white Minnesotans pairing untanned arms with eye dazzling colors.

Yes, but you're the one who decided that made me her slave.

Nice to see you, BYW. *hug*

Only you? Every casual day there are at least about 10 people who forgets - out of about 1300 students.

What are you good at in reference to work? You could always follow your BG work and get a job in that field

Not really sure what I'm good at, there are so many possible things - but I think it's anything that deals with computers. I've got a casual job, can only work during holidays so the pay is limited to those periods only, just not too sure career wise. I probably be doing programming type job - going to study Computer Science (not sure whether to do single or double degree course) in uni.

BG work, I better start doing these again - left them for so long that I can't really remember what I'm supposed to be doing with all of the files I have in the To Do folder. Neverwinter Nights stuff is going to be so much better - been playing around with the Beta Toolset.

I'm a simple person

Actually, I thought it was cute

You can still flirt with me, even if you're Georgi's. I won't tell, you can trust me. ;-)

There is a lot of diversification in the computer industry, my advice is to pick something that doesn't involve sorting out other peoples mistakes, as this is always dependent on other people and it is difficult to be proactive since you are always waiting for the next client. As long as you make enough in your holiday job to keep going then it doesn't really matter how long you stay obtaining degree's. Most people don't stay in one job anyway (C Elegans has statistics

) so perhaps it is worth trying one field and seeing if you like it, as long as you have financial backing (from job etc) then you can do whatever you fancy

I am sure everyone is waiting with bated breath

I saw that myself 200+ d/l don't really have the bandwidth on 56k modem

How is the program? Any major problem encountered?

@Viv, that sounds incredibly scary

Sabre · Post by **Sabre** » Fri May 31, 2002 8:32 am

Thanks for the advice. About the Beta Toolset; the only problem for me is that my system can't support it - well mostly just my video card - so I have to restart the computer once in a while to prevent crashes. The tool itself is very easy to use, the graphics looks really good and you get a fairly high degree of customization - can't wait for the game, and the final toolset.

Do you think the beginner will be able to craft worlds? I have previously used the Unreal Editor, that was really quite awkward and was prone to problems so i never really followed through.

Doens't bode well for those on low end systems, perhaps the game will be more streamlined?

Have you been reporting your problems to bioware?

Sabre · Post by **Sabre** » Fri May 31, 2002 8:55 am

I think that beginners would be able to make a world - might take a while to make a good module though. I haven't really looked at the scripting language yet, so don't know how difficult script will be. It's fairly easy to build your own area, all you really need to do is choose what you want and put it where you want - the list of what you can choose from is limited in the Beta version.

I've been playing around with the items and NPCs creators, they are really easy to make - except maybe for the scripts. Everything you need to make the item/NPC are there in the tool, and the layout is easy to follow.

I've used Unreal Editor a bit as well - this was for Deus Ex. I took one look at the area creator thing and gave up, I have no idea how to use it. So I decided to code the weapons in the game instead, that was so much easier to follow.

It might just be the Toolset that needs the resources, since you are making a new module with it. Although I think you'll need a least an average system to run Neverwinter Nights.

The problem that I have was already discussed at BioWare - I looked through most of the Techinal problems forum. The Toolset have a limited compatibility to Voodoo graphics card - I have a Voodoo 3 2000. Oh well, at least the program actually run for me, there were a few people who couldn't get it to run at all.

Sounds good

I managed to create one room with two pillars, once i went past that things started getting very difficult so i gave up

I should be alright, but looking at the likes of Morrowind it might be a little much for some people, causing an increase in comp sales. It will be interesting to track how NwN effects the PC market

Voodoo 3, haven't heard that name in a while

I suppose it is good since they will be able to get a mean of what the engine can handle. It is the perfect example of a good Beta test, this one has had a great deal of exposure.

<edit> @Everyone, have a nice weekend, i am out of here

Take it easy
