Contest over 2/15/09 -- that is Feb 15th
I've been quite busy in some other projects, including the one very important task of rebuilding/upgrading my old computer. After learning more about Linux and having everything else in order for the hardware to rebuild my old computer, I've recently taken the time to migrate and separate/organize my software better.
Having a clean operating system with a better understanding of how I should organize things, both visually and logically has given me a stronger idea of my priorities. This has helped me organize some of the other projects surrounding Nexuiz and the Ninjaz. You'd be surprised how much time can go into admining some game servers.
Over the past few months I've spread myself across many different projects surrounding both communities and including other open-source supporting ones. With my old computer a bit unstable and my motherboard RMA not going as smooth as a good company would let it (no bias against EVGA here), it was discouraging to get involved in the mapping process myself. However!! I've recently started mapping again now that I have these computers sorted out and time on my side

.
I'm starting to finalize my first map zion to get a feel for my style again before I try applying my abilities to remixing some of the other maps I had in mind. With only ~18 days left in the contest, it's a little tight, especially considering all the recent brush work I did is failing but I still have the urge to finish these things in time.
I hope others are aware the deadline is approaching and perhaps kicking it into high gear.
I'd like to remind everyone to submit their maps to the
