- I finished the linking all the videos of the “S-Star” competition ( a music&fashion competition that’s been held at my school in february). I’ll hopefully upload the video, cut in several parts(it’s 2 hours), sometime soon. The rendering took about 15 hours on my Intel Pentium D 3.2 ghz xD .
- I finished my cubicle entry for www.twhl.co.za “TWHL Cubicles” mini compo. Not much to say about it anyway, so here’s a link to download it if you want(includes screenshot
): LINK_DOWNLOAD&SCREENSHOT - I got myself into the mapping team for a new PQL project(the same team that produced Issues and Reissues
). It’s almost the same thing, but now the mapping is done in Spirit of Half-Life. The maximum length of the level each mapper can post is 2 maps.I’ll be mapping something puzzle-themed with custom resources. All the maps will be connected through a hub
. Right now people from the HL communities are not aware of this project as the team is just growing up right now. I already started mapping my entry
. - This week I’ve done a “not so cool” experiment, but hey… I like experiments
. I made some ZnSO4(CuSO4(s) + Zn(s) = Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)). In a time period of about an hour, the blue coloured solution lost its color and some brownish-black deposits formed on the bottom of the glass. I think that’s the copper. Still, it’s interesting I can make experiments at home
. (CuSO4 is easy to get, it’s found at gardening stores I guess…. it’s used to protect the grapes). - I reaaaally want to make a new mini-film….
- I reaaaally have to finish my project for french =)).

Coming soon
Posted by sjackm on 23 February 2010
Last Thursday( and the days before Thursday) I helped organizing the Fashion\Style\Karaoke( S-Star) Competition at my school, and also made photographs and filmed. Now it remains to compose this footage and photos to a presentable video.
That’s what I’m working on now. I’ll post it on my blog too when it’ll be finished.
Meanwhile, I hope I’ll be able to go for a walk in the nature, the weather starts to be more beautiful everyday here. If weather will be favorable, I’ll go with some friends in the forest after some snowdrops

A snowdrop

HL Rooms- A TWHL project
Posted by sjackm on 11 January 2010

It’s the first Half-Life modification where I participated. It’s a project that’s been initiated on http://www.twhl.co.za, practically anyone who wanted could make a room and then the person who managed the entire project ( Captain Terror from TWHL) would include in the a chain of interconnected rooms. A lot of this kind of projects have failed, but this one resisted.
My map( a dedication for MuzzleFlash,now “The Mighty Atom” from TWHL) was too large and had too many features to be included in that chain, so it was included as a bonus map. You can acces it from the “portal map” where you can see the credits, play the mod, and other things. My map is represented by a spinning globe, near a “Jim Carry” flag( my avatar from TWHL).
Have fun playing!

School Project Uploaded !!!
Posted by sjackm on 1 April 2009
I finally finished uploading the school project, which is the project I’ve worked hard on. It’s called Pupils&Their Hobbies and it’s telling stories about a few pupils in our school (GRI SUNCUIUS), including me !!
I was the video producer, so that’s why I’m posting it on vimeo and on my blog for easy finding and viewing.
Here’s the link to it ( Videos-By-Me) : VIEW PROJECT
I had to split the project in half because vimeo won’t accept video files greater than 500 mb for a free account
