yea, you have ftp access...I gave it to you awhile ago. I'll PM you the login details and such.

Got your PM, thanks! I'll get around to it this weekend.

ok, just shout if you get confused. I know it's not entirely user friendly... I may change that when I get some time. I thinking about selling that script.

I hope you hit the internet jackpot and become filthy rich!

A taste of what's to come, I present to you the hilariously awesome sword-gun. It's actually a real weapon. Obviously it wasn't very practical or we would have known about it, but the design is hawt.

haha, that's pretty cool. And pretty worthless in combat, I'm sure, but hey, whatever.

I figure it was like a status symbol. Like all the options on the Iphone or whatnot. Sure, you COULD fire a bullet with it, or calculate tips, but who ever does that? It just looks cool.

Ok, with Satis' much appreciated help (the webspace as well as final touches in getting the pictures online, ie the scripting touches ), the pictures I took on holiday in Malta are up. They're not all the pics I took since I'm a crappy photographer and a lot of them came out bad, or because I just didn't want to show some pics here.

They're all in one big batch but there are some major groups that belong together, so I'll give you the general link and then describe the major 'groups, (top to bottom):

http://clankiller.com/stuff/Rinox/spring09/index.php

- Some pics from Comino, the largely uninhabited mini island I spent two days on

- The state palace rooms and, more importantly, the armory. Rows and rowns of old weaponry going from armors to flintlock guns to rocket launchers, cannons, bayonets and swords. I tried to take a few detail pics, zooming in on the craftmanship of some of these items. It's exquisite sometimes. Like here:



- Some harbor and bay shots.

- Some more Comino pics strangely grouped in with some shots from St-John's Cathedral. Again, some of the detail work is incredible.



- The WW II museum. As you may or may not know, Malta was a crucial position in the Mediterranean in WWII and was savaged by the Germans and Italians but never conquered. To give you an idea, more bombs fell on Malta in 2 months than on London during the entire war, which is saying something given its tiny surface. It's probably the heaviest bombed piece of land in WW II. For all its bravery the people of Malta were collectively awarded the George Cross after the war, the highest British. decoration for civilian bravery. A picture of the letter announcing it is in there.

- The Roman Villa & Museum. Lots of cool Roman stuff gathered in a museum built on the site of a Roman villa. Hence the mosaics. Detail again.



- St Paul's Catacombs, a collection of early Christian burial chambers and worshipping ruins.

- Some pics (mostly views) from the fortress city of Mdina.

- Hawt shit: the prehistoric temple of Mnajdra. Its is one of the three major prehistoric temples on Malta (Hagar Qim and Ggantija are the others, unfortunately, one was closed and the other I didn't have time for) and features some interesting characteristics that point toward it being used to track the solstices and the equinox. It is older than the pyramids and Stonehenge, structures with similar traits. They are widely regarded as some of the earliest clearly recognizable man-made structures. You can't help but be in awe when you stand in the inner sanctum and imagine that 5500 years ago, there were already people standing where you are, performing rituals and whatnot. Since the last time I went they put a sort of protective umbrella over the ruins taking away some of its scenic-ness (they're 5 metres from a steep cliff into the sea), but whatever.



- and to end, more Comino pics. Mostly from the Blue Lagoon with its crystal blue waters.

1st pic, isnt that oblivion armor?

Nice Pics. Beautiful water, odd flower (purple spikey one). Now I want to go to the coast. /sigh.

Some very cool pics. I'm afraid I may have screwed something up...some of the pics seems to be missing. If and when I get done with my current software project I plan on working on that image script. I'll probably use your stuff to play with.

Don't worry, I think most of them have just been reshuffled for some reason, even if their file names followed after each other. Still weird, but I don't think anything really got lost (but I could be wrong). I'll check how many pics are on the site and how many I uploaded when I get home to make sure (I think I uploaded 208 but not sure anymore).

Anyway, glad you guys like 'em. I'm not much of a photographer but I'm proud of a few pics.

@ Peltz: now you mention it, that DOES look a lot like ebony armor from TES

That was exactly what I thought!

Great pics ox, looks like a fantastic place

Had to share a pic of the pretty flowers and cute teddy bear Satis had sent to my work today for me for no real reason. That is not typical Satis behavior, not that I am complaining!

good man!

And now someone is going to die since Satis will claim they are not from him, rest in peace little bastard
