Righty...

Tragically the bleedin' exam boards like to hit people with exams in the summer.... right before the holidays (which would be good revision time)

Since lots of people in this mod team is 'student age' e.g. me, Torn, Pyro and Boomer we will almost undoubtedly have exams... me and Torn have pretty much completely stopped work on the mod and boomer is in the inquisition these days. We ain't stopping the mod and letting it die, just that the rate of progress will drop a bit until exam season is over...

Fekkin' Exams!

Basically don't think we're getting bored or losing the will to live/mod :p

my last exam is June 27th... Physics Synoptic!!! :o

I can't really get to modding aswell, with 2 computers in need to be totally rebuild and reinstalled...
it's gonna take 1 maybe 2 full weeks to get my systems up and running again.. If everything goes well and i don't screw up that is...

personally i don't think it matters too much.

Its the coding crew that'll be missed the most so I'm gonna put skinning on hold til they're back up and running an all.

Anyhoo, post up when you're back modding and I'll get back to work.

Good Luck with your exams lads!

Laters

//edit Sam jumped in before mine showed :p the begining isn't that exams don't matter too much its about Jugger stopping modding to rebuild his computers, guess we're pretty much shutting up shop for a month or two. Boo to exams, I was hoping we'd have another release in a lot less time than that... Oh well I'll write a leter to the exam boards ;)

I got alot of army engagements coming up as well. That and mid-year exams for law school etc. So as a result I might be on less regularly as well...IM guessing Ill be a more regular poster after the 27th June when my holidays start- as long as the forum isnt deleted we should be right yea?

Well, i'm gonna get WinXp on my school (students discount on software, so i hope they sell XP) on tuesday - tomorrow - and then immediatly start to do my own computer, which with luck will be fully up and going in say 2-3 days if everything goes well :rolleyes:

the 2nd one is my brother's comp which will be upgraded with my old parts, which holds that i have to fully rebuild it up to ATX standards, the old machine is still on AT so the mainboard won't even fit in the case. I've bought a new one for that.
It's my own comp i'm worried the most about in terms of losing data.
I've got full faith that i'll transfer the machine spirit from my old computer into my 'new' freshly upgraded one and be back soon :p

Speaking about tests, I am almost done with my Abitur (High school degree so to say), my written exams for Latin, Politics and Math did go quite well, now only 1 oral in history left... no challenge :-)

YAY GERMAN ORAL IS OVER WITH! WAHEY!

Squig, Abitur is German for A Levels, so you'll be doing what Sam and Cal are I guess.

Propably, it's our exams after 13th grade, in 2 major and 2 minor subjects, one of the minors as an oral, including everything we'v done in the last 2 years in those subjects. You have to have included at least one subject from the following groups:
-Mathematics and Science
-Politics, History, Geology and Religion
-languages/arts/music

So I chose Politics and Latin as major, Maths for P3 and History for Oral.


My English is sort of screwed since all us Germans being taught is Oxford English (My English teacher uses words some English ppl we'v got here never heard of), but than I stayed half a year in Athol, Massachusetts. Now I speak an English with a strong German accent that sounds American to British and British to Americans... But everybody understands me so whatever... but If I would say A-levels to an American he'd have no idea what I am talking 'bout, and since I usually talk to yanks...
Whatever

LOL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abitur
http://en.wikipedia....tion_in_Germany

Aditional to that it should be said that in 12th grade in Lower saxony (every Bundesland has a different school system) you have to pick two classes as Leistungskurse which you have than more often and thereefor more intense. From the rest of your classes you pick two more and in those classes you do the exams for the Abitur...
better? ;-)
And btw yes, we do need a general 40k Subforum as well as a normal off topic! ;-)
