Summer is coming to an end and it's time to get busy again, both in the real world aswell as in the world of Quake.
In the beginning of this summer i graduated from the university here in Jönköping and i must say that it's a weird feeling to not have any exams nor lectures to attend in the future. It's a fresh start for me as i'm working fulltime for the first time of my life, hehe. I'm still living and working in Jönköping though, so the QW business should be possible to maintain without too much trouble. It's a bit weird to start working - all of a sudden you have to get up at 6am and come home at 17pm every day. Before you could sleep until at least 9.30am and maybe go for a lecture for two hours and be back at 12am again. :p
My only concern at the moment QW-wise is that I'm having some problems with playing QW at the moment as my gaming gear have broken, kind of. My mouse disconnects all the time and my headset suffers from a similar problem. This will get fixed in the future though, it's just a question of when. I'm not sure wether or not i'll participate in the next EQL season, but i will of course have to run it. I have begun making some preparations for the new season by moving from our old host on
FZ as their server don't have that long time left now, and when it finally dies they won't try to revive it as we are the only ones left being hosted there. I thank them from the bottom of my heart though for their hosting through the years. Without them, Refragged and EQL probably wouldn't have been as good as they've been.
The new EQL seasons can be found on http://eql.quakeworld.nu/eql1 for example. We will later on redirect the new site to www.eql.nu of course, but i'll let you know when that happen, no worries.
Other than that, I've also tried to take on more central role here on Quakeworld.nu as
Sassa left. For starters i've tried to just clean the site up a bit (mainly the forum, which you might have noticed), introduced a bit more straight (and democratic? :p) guidelines for the active admins in the forum and such things. When browsing the forum a bit more carefully, i realized that we have all sorts of topics all over the place, this is one thing i'd like to get rid of. That's why you'll see more of the "This topic has been moved" topics. It's not meant to piss people off, but rather to keep things in order so people know where to look for answers on their questions when using search functions and stuff. Some forums are gone too and this is because they've been too inactive to deserve their own forum. In the future we will be a bit more strict on issuing new forums for tournaments and so on. Instead of getting their own forum right away, admins will have to use the "Other tourneys" forum for starters. Might sound a bit nazi, but the other option is to end up with plenty of empty forums and i know which option sounds better to me.
Hm, well this is all for me for the moment. Just wanted to give a quick update on what's going on for me. Have a nice day etc!
