    I just recived confirmation that I was featured in the Russian tech magazine Железо. :D(http://www.xard.ru/ -I don't think they post the little stuff online, just product reviews.)
    -Now if I could only read it.:hehe:

    How could that be possible? A girl came by when he was modding something in the shop? Like that would happen! And even if it did, it would be utterly unfair!

    Holy mother of thread-hijacks btw.

    Good job Cheapskate, crazy work with the acryl, I would never have the nerves..

    I'm KIDDING!! :p

    Congrats on the Russian tech magazine :clap: That's very cool. So was there something in the magazine such as:

    "вышла также для ноутбуков, послужив и в этой области "Bloo Balls" если после обновления или неудачной попытки разгона компьютер перестал запускаться.."

    If you have a pic of something like that, not to mention a pic of them featuring your case, then you have to post them! I can't believe you did this mod blood free btw :eeek: i reckon i would have had at least two cuts or scrapes :D For me, the more pieces there are involved in any task, the closer the probability of me spilling blood approaches 1 :worried:

    Thanks!
    @mvagusta - I should be worried about what the sentence you posted says.:eyebrow:I KNOW you! It's bad, isn't it? I can't post something like that- copyright issues.:D No blood, but I did sand until my fingertips nearly bled. I also got close to burning the pads of my thumbs sanding.

    I have no idea what i copy & pasted from that russian site :confused: Chances are it was something like:
    "and this month, have a look at what we acheived: "Bloo Balls" but soon after, with some vigorus buffing & polishing, satisfying results were had, as can be seen on the next page"

    So do you have a copy of the magazine? If so, there shouldn't be any copyright issues with taking a pic of your feature, and posting that. If there are any brand logos, they can be censored out, just incase the kgb is watching :D

    Thanks Oreon.:D
    No, I don't have a copy of the magazine. The interviewer sent me a scan of the page I was featured on and a scan of the cover, (No I'm NOT on the cover.:D) There may have been more. The pics visible on the edge of the next page looks like my yard shots. Oddly, the words 'bloo balls' don't show up in the text, but 'Hypnotoad' shows up under a pic.:hehe:Censored for profanity?

    Congrats on being featured in the magazine even though they might be bashing your mod without you knowing since you can't read it.

    Where in Texas do you live? I'm moving to Austin for grad school in the fall.
