I have seen about every 5th episode in season 1 which has been enough to keep me wellinformed about what is happening. Got season 2 waiting for me to watch it and I am planning to start that one of the coming days.

Linux and Windows are usually so similar these days anways. If anyone haven't tried linux yet, then you should grab some distro right away. A good starter choice is the ones with support for live cd's, where you don't have to install anything to test it.

Imo a Myspace profile is probably something of the most ugly you can find. It often contains all the annoying elements of website including wierd background music, messy layout, lame information which none cares about, etc. - rougly said. Fletch seem to have a nice clean layout at his page though:)
-
The closest you can get to a 1-sided face is a brush with the null/nodraw texture on all sides except the front and then merge the back vertices to make it form a pyramid.

It is really about time that Valve get around to implent just some kind of lighting preview in Hammer. It could be done without much hassle by just doing a ultra fast compile with just the things needed for a lightmap and then load this into the 3d window in Hammer.
-
The computers are probably as fast as they need to be, in order to be at that golden line between productivity and cost. It's pretty simple actually:)

A bit of lighting would do wonders with this map.

Good question, I have had the same concern. Thing is that the last year I have found myself doing more project leading, programming and other wierd stuff than level design. My Source maps are therefore still not of a totally acceptable quality.
I have just taken some pictures of my least ugly source map and uploaded them though, as shots of something semi-new are needed as you say. Actually did that just before reading your post:)

Env_smoke can simulate steam to some extend with the right values. There is probably a better one though.

I totally agree on the initial idea about original layouts, but the site is not ment to demonstrate my abilities within webdesign. It would both be more risky and more timeconsuming to design everything from the ground up - Risks which I do not want to take when it's about my future career.
But still I agree with you and the site is still WIP, so more parts are likely to change soon.

Dropship is about a dropship(surprise!) which you control through first space, then the athmosphere and then close to the ground. The innovative about it is that you steer with a webcam, no mouse or keyboard involved.
I am currently working on getting access to our game files after which I will be able to take some screenshots and upload it.

Ahh damn, I love Terragen:/
Yeah Csharp, I was in love with the layout when I saw it there.
And ohh another thing: Currently the screenshots of my maps are 2 clicks away from the frontpage. Considering the importance of those I should maybe move them upwards in the hierarchy? Or is it ok with them being where they are now?

Hey guys my new blogfolio site at http://www.thefuture.dk is beginning to shape up. Previously my site has just been a place where I uploaded the stuff I completed, but now main focus is that it should help me to get me a job. I am going for job in the games industry after this summer, so the site needs to reflect that.
I started this version partly as a blog and the news page is therefore on the frontpage. After some further thinking this might not be the best though. Should I put the CV or the about page as first page instead? Or make a new splash page?
The site still needs a lot of things, so I thought I would ask for some advice. Any comment on how to make it give a better impression of my work is welcome.

I have just returned from a pleasant trip to Future Entertainment Week 2006. This is a summer camp for young talents from primarly Denmark but also Norway and Sweden. Out of several hundred applications, 50 were selected for the game development part and 50 for nano technology.
I was on the team developing a game called Dropship as 2d artist. My 2d skills are not the best, but we lacked 2d artists and I was the best for the spot.
Television spotabout the the camp and our game at TV2.
Here is a picture of my crew:
http://thefuture.dk/futureweek/dropshipteam.jpg
All the games where judged by a group consisting of the 100 attendees and a group of judges. Among the judges were Thomas Howalt(Producer at IO Interactive), Lars Kroll(CEO of Runestone Game Development), Ole Rasmussen(Vice Director of IBM Denmark) and Kristian G. Olesen(Leader of Computer Science at Aalborg University).
Our team managed to get the most votes from both the attendees and the judges. So we won everything, which was quite a cool experience. Among the rewards were an Ipod, an usb-key, a belt, a jacket and some other random stuff.
We had to develop a game totally from scratch in 4 days, so sleep was not among the things we got a lot of. Unhealthy amounts of Coca-cola, X-ray and pizza kept us going though.
If you are danish you can read a lot more about the event in the diary from the Game Development Camp and the Nano Camp. More pictures can also be found in those diaries.

I can only agree with you! It might be the same action we are talking about, but I have found that just pressing "z" resets your viewports and fixes all problems.

Many congrats from here Vivi, it sounds like you had a shitload of fun:D
-
Sounds like a lot of things in one program. Anwyay I would very much like to try anything which can make Source modding easier. Currently the workflow is in many ways very slow and ackward.

Is that a true double helix you got here? If yes did you do it in bsp? If so, congrats - I haven't seen that pulled of since the one I made in Entomed.
