Post of the Month!

October has come and very nearly gone, so it's time to once again have a look at the very best that the Atomic forums have to offer...

You know what I love? I love the 3rd season of Star Trek: The Next Generation - it has great writing, some wonderful performances from an ensemble cast starting to really come into their own, and some cracking stories.

Oh... and I also love awarding POST OF THE MONTH to a worthy Atomican!

As usual it's been quite the challenge sorting out who comes out on top this month, but in the end we've decided to pass on the POTM mantle to a certain stalwart of the Photography section, so the big ups go to...

Athiril! For continuing to deliver photographic awesomeness, and in particular helping another Atomican out in a purchasing thread right here:

"The 7D is much higher resolution than the 5D II (5D II is the same as the 30D and 350D in resolution), it is 116 lp/mm (or 232 pixels/mm) vs the 5D II of 78 lp/mm (158 pixels/mm) (about the same as Velvia's low-contrast resolution, but much lower than some b&w films, and the high contrast resolution of colour films in general)."

Well done - Athiril walks away with this month's prize, a sexy Imperator Mouse from Razer. But of course, there's more awesome than that. Also on-song this month are:

nukejockey, and his excellent HAF build log.

"I decided to use a new CPU block (EK Plexi) and added some red LEDs to it along with some orange/red CCs in the case. The cable management turned out quite well, although I still don't understand why companies insist on putting windows over HDD bays. (Guys, if you're listening, no one wants to see that shit!.)"

Kommando, for his work of braaaaainy excellence.

"URRRH

Brains."

And, last but not least, Emperor_Matej_I for delivering some great legal learning.

"The key thing to remember is that it's only in ACT and NSW where the apology can contain an admission of fault. In all other places, only an expression of regret/sorrow without an admission will be covered by the provisions."

Well done all.

Hawkeye Oct 28, 2010 3:54 PM	Have you checked the thread? :P
Spriggan Oct 28, 2010 4:32 PM	have you ?
.:Cyb3rGlitch:. Oct 28, 2010 4:47 PM	The n00bs don't understand how mouseovers work.
Spriggan Oct 28, 2010 4:50 PM	I do understand how they work i just do not believe that adding some links to some other sites makes a post potm mention worthy.
Hawkeye Oct 28, 2010 5:06 PM	Well fuck us for listening to community nomination then. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go delete xBomx's post because HE'S A DICK.
Spriggan Oct 28, 2010 5:13 PM	yeah that post makes my first post even more relevant :P
.:Cyb3rGlitch:. Oct 28, 2010 6:07 PM	Actually xBomx, it makes you a lonely keyboard warrior who's so attached to a digital entity that he cannot accept that no one wants his presence, despite being banned for disgusting behaviour on the forum. I believe that's called "FOREVER ALONE". (I put that in caps so you could translate it). http://goo.gl/jzfD
J4pan Oct 28, 2010 6:37 PM	daim that hurts
.:Cyb3rGlitch:. Oct 28, 2010 7:15 PM	I considered being a computer admin back in the day. You get paid to troll people abusing the network, tell people to turn it 'on and off again', upgrade and roll out equipment, throw old laptops out of windows (that one didn't seem to gel well in interviews). I never considered being a 'boring computer admin'. Is this what you do? Does it involve throwing laptops out of windows (I'm still quite keen on that, I promise I'll work hard doing so). The last time someone tried to guess my line of work it turned out they were moments from offering me a job. So I'm going to say yes xBoxm, I'd love to come work with you and your fellow boring computer associates! I can't wait to meet them! Oh, would you look at me assuming you're associated with people! How embarrassing! I hope that doesn't change your mind about offering me the job. I'm ever so keen! You know, the last time I was offered a job the owner turned out to be a distant relative to the great Mozart. He couldn't play piano though. That doesn't matter, I won't expect you to be able to play piano, only talented people can do that. But if you do play piano, I'd like to suggest that a few song titles that you could use for your own compositions. For example, 'Trollface the Trillogy pt.1-3', 'Friends are for failures' and my personal favourite 'Running back' (Jessica Mauboy stole that one from me, it's about users who keep 'running back' to forums who think they're brain dead - true story). But I digress! Send me the location of your office and a time and we'll have that interview! Just remember to tell me the level your office is on. I'll accept 'basement' instead of 'G' floor if you like. Thanks.
Sturmeh Oct 28, 2010 7:40 PM	Cyberglitch is my friend irl, that puts him with at least 1 more than you xBomx. :)
Hawkeye Oct 28, 2010 7:57 PM	How banned is xbomx? Yeah, so banned that I'll remove their posts any time of the day. Truly, it is a victimless crime.
Spriggan Oct 28, 2010 9:46 PM	can i vote cyber's last post for potm ? epic
strifus Oct 28, 2010 10:29 PM	Congrats to Athiril, for winning POTM. I was just going to suggest him to you Hawkeye. :)
