This is the way the blog ends

So, fellow trainsurfers, it is with misty-eyed hesitance that I present the final chapter of the emotional-teacup-ride-history-rewriting-bliggity-bloggo. It took 1.5 hours to make, and features stunning water effects.

I don't have much more to say on the matter, apart from thanking SpindleyQ, and everyone, most profusely for all this site is, and all it has inspired me to do.

If you don't mind I would

If you don't mind I would like to number them and ZIP the whole lot up as an easily digestible relationship and put it on the hosted trainwrecks page. How big would this be in rhinoceros terms, i.e. a scale of one to acceptable?

P.S. I just realised how perfectly the term "Glorious Trainwreck" sums up the relationship.

I've attached it here, and I ended up putting it all into one big game (and all y'all bipeds should check it out for the indescribably superlative chapter select screen). Do you mind hosting it somewhere here so there's a permacopy of it? I will then put a link on the hosted trainwrecks page.

gotta wait

I gotta wait 'til I get home to try this out but...
what's the benefit of using .RAR files?

Are you coming from a different country where that was the standard? (I make a jokey reference to this in the N00B FAQs)

In those countries, is .RAR support built into Windows? That's one thing about .ZIP, support for it has gotten reasonably slick in Windows, integrated w/ the explorer...

Just saying. It's not such a big deal, but it would help usability for the USAians in these parts.

I guess I am used to using

I guess I am used to using rar files because it's the torrenting/scene standard (I am not a part of these things, I just download stuff that is), and yeah it is integrated into the shell. I'm not totally sure what the Australia-wide consensus is, but I hear Kevin Rudd has made a non-core election promise to significantly change the WRA, which I can only assume means WinRar Application. So to get with the times of our land, I will try to use zips from now on.

RAR files have a better rate

RAR files have a better rate of compression than ZIP files.
