Ohey guys!
It's been roughly a year since I disappeared from Powder. I'm just checking in and letting you know I'm still here! Just looking around the site, there's been some great improvements and it is great to see some new saves topping the charts :) I'm sorry I haven't been updating my saves as regularly (if at all) as I probably should, but I've had many, many other commitments. I think I'll take a more old approach towards my saves and leave them as they are for people to see how people did stuff in the early days.
Greetings to Catelite, AntB/Xeno, cracker64, Simon and ief/RainbowDash (if he hasn't killed himself doing some weird MLP stuff :S ).
Check out my saves too! There's some pretty neat artwork (Half completed resort, Indestructible bunker [which I'm finding out isn't quite indestructible.....]). There's also some do-it-yourself, hands-on saves (The Bunker, Skydiving stickman, Airplane tester [bit old and lame], Nuclear power plant, Nuclear powered plane, The Security System [Last time I checked, it self-destructs :P] ). I would reccommend using SPRK for metal switches and GOO/DMND for detector switches. There are also a few experiments I did (DEUT Bomb Prototype, Mini Desalination Plant, BRAY Dot Matrix [cracker64 beat me to it by making an ARAY copier]).
REMEMBER to turn off ambient heat when using most of my saves, as they were made before it was introduced.
A note to the people on IRC/Mumble (cracker64 mainly), I tracked down the mysterious whirring/fap/static noise on my mic (Apparently it was my pulse and my precision built, high quality laptop....).
Also, if he's still around, I'd like to say hey to Merbo (Hope he got over his illness)
If you're wondering what I've been spending my time on now (aside from school), I've taken up programming. Don't laugh... C#. I'm also getting pretty decent with php/html. I've launched a website (www.jjclabs.net) I haven't had time to update it (final year of school). I have a few programs available for download, but they're not too awesome.
Anyways, that's all I have to say, so have fun and keep powdering!! (seriously? >.< )
Cheers guys,

P.S. I will check this thread regularly for a while

Long time no talk RedFlash it is good to see a familiar person checking in. I am glad you are taking up programming. I hope to talk to you soon. :)
Welcome back, only a few people know you came from the past. >_>
