I couldn't agree more. As I was once told by a teacher of mine: "Remember, it's results, not attempts that count in the real world."

It doesn't matter how much effort you put in, if it's not what the final result was supposed to be, then it doesn't mean crap. I can put linux on a machine for a client. Yeah sure it's better and what not, but if the client wanted windows, they are not going to be happy. Even though I put in all the extra effort to set up linux.

Anyways, off topic there, as for the Icontest ( cheers to Polyphemus for that good play on words:p ), I probably won't get somethign ready in time, as I'm busy elsewhere (moving actually) and plus I can't draw worth sh*t.

Everyone else have fun though.

The whole effort thing was a joke... anyhoo, Ivan, I think DaWei wants you to get your icon size down. Get to work, I guess.

That guy didnt even follow the rules, I guess I win by default?

Hey, the contest isn't over till half-way through September. Maybe I'll get bored. :p

Eric the Red · Aug 23rd, 2006, 9:05 PM

I'll have one up in a few days. I'm getting pretty bored.

ivan · Aug 25th, 2006, 5:27 AM

Ok, I will size it down before the end of the contest...

Considering that the results have not been judged by members I'm guessing that this contest is still going.

I know I said a few days. However, here it is [32x32]

We should extend the deadline for another year. Does September 15th of the year 2007 sound good? We should really just leave this open until next year and when people have time to post their icon they'll put it up.

Personally, I disconnected at about post #13, when the rules were deemed to not matter.

Well, this Thread did get kinda off topic. Let's just continue where we left off.
