(sorry about it being late again)

Okie, fixed.

Dustin - we had a hickup in qualy and moved to the 1st racing server as a precaution.

On a positive note, we may have figured out the problem with the server. It seems very likely that its port range related - STCC servers run in a completely different port range to ours. That would also be coherent with the fact that Tuesdays are more troublesome because businesses operate then and there is more prioritised traffic. We'll definitely do some test event before using the server for an LXCC race again though.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Disco at lap 21 or so. Just before the fun was about to start. Just few laps before RoBi and R. Dienderen were starting to get close and it was fun trying to keep them behind. It would had been good racing to the chequered flag without the disco

Any idea if that was something on your end?
And, Gabbo too?

Quote from kamo2000 :

Boring race for me..i was hoping for better place but guys were too fast today..i only had some fun with tyrion ( i overused my horn while racing with him) sry it wasn't pointed at you..i just use it when i'm helpless seeing others passing me :/

I was gonna come join you for some fun and I was chasing you down but whenever I'd get close, a few LX6's would decide to pop up in my rear view mirror near a corner. :/

Weee, finally, a race that finished promptly.

Race starts at 7PM GMT.

Saturday's results will be up later tonight, thanks to the program I've written to automate this - I need to catch up on some sleep first and hit the hay for an hour or two though.

My happy proggy is done. So.

Beacuse of a little piece of code I've been working on, I have to introduce a new names convention:

{Team name}|{Initals}.{Surname}

Please stick to the same team name each week, makes my life a lot easier too.

BTW, if anyone has the stats results.csv file from last week, please upload it so I can do last week's results.

I know I said these would be up today... well, I started working on a program to do it automatically, most of it is done, I just need the results .csv. Filur, can you please upload that? Another hour or two of coding and these should come pretty instantly after the race.

I'll do the results for this race (despite the catastrophe which it was) later today or tomorrow. I'm sorry I haven't done them yet - the shit has been flying all week.

So can someone post the finishing order and qualy order?

Get into a league or drive STCC Silver & Gold servers (if you can stand having to drive the FXO for two weeks before getting your gold license). Or take down some contacts on MSN (that you know are clean drivers), give them a shout when you feel like racing and if they do too, go race. I can't stand 90% of public servers either. Most of my online racing over the past few years has been on the South African server, where even the people that aren't so fast will be sure to leave space so I've developed a trust for people and taking that to public servers is a bad idea.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

"It's a great day" is actually correct, not incorrect. This is because "It's" is context sensitive and in this particular case is an abbreviation of "It is" (i.e. "It is a great day") instead of referring to possession.

Nope - I had it the wrong way around though so thanks for raising the issue. See my original post for sources. "It's" = "It is" or "It has" - it is context sensitive in that respect; "Its" indicates posession to an it much like "his", "hers", "ours", etc. However, you'll rarely (rearly) see "its" being used seeing (seing) as few things belong to an object and even if they do, you don't need to refer to them in that way. However, an example would be:
The plane crashed because its wings fell off.

Quote from Bladerunner :

Scawens code is great - Scawens' code is great

There's more than one Scawen! SWEET!

No, no, you are wrong here.
"Scawen's code is great" implies there is one Scawen and his code is great.
"Scawens' code is great" implies that there are many Scawens and their code is great.

EDIT: The apostrophe's meaning is dependent on what comes after it. If it is an adjective or verb then it would mean " is ". If its a noun, it indicates possession.

I would of done it differently - I would have done it differently.

Its a great day - It's a great day.
["Its" indicates something belonging to an "it", "it's" is a short way of saying "it is" or "it has"]
EDIT: I had the above the wrong way around, sorry.

*blurts out random swear words*

I've just spoken to Sam. He has no idea what happened and they got a problem on the STCC servers too, he'll let me know as soon as he knows more.

Passwords for tonight's event have been sent out. Sadly, I will be unable to race as I have had really unstable international connection since Thursday. Jeff (Ball Bearing Turbo) will take my place as admin. I have given him all the necessary instructions.
