 There was absolutely nothing to report last week which is the reason why there was no weekly news update. Now we're back with news from the past two weeks ;)
"This file contains invalid data"
Several people have reported that the files they download from our file section "contain invalid data". I've managed to regenerate the problem several times, and it seems to be a problem with our host. But since the support is full of pretty incompetent people, they can't fix it -- however, I've managed to avoid the problem by using a download manager. Personally, I use FlashGet. It's free and doesn't contain any spyware or anything else which many other download accelerators / managers do. FlashGet can be downloaded from its website, http://www.flashget.com/en/download.htm
New databases
Two weeks have passed, and a few new databases have been released. The most downloaded of them is the PCMGeeks DB which is based on Tour de France. The package includes both a DB with the dopers and one without. You also get the Manager Photo-package, 3 new teams (Team Designa Køkken, Glud og Marstrand Horsens and Team Odense Energi) and more.
The team behind the DB is now working with PCMScandinavia on making a 2nd version of the database, including even more stuff.
The two other databases are the Ultrabase and the Stanoscase-db. The Ultrabase-db is available in our download section, but since the link for the Stanoscase-db has been down all day I won't be able to upload it until later today / tomorrow.
Miya's stuff - now in one package
DvT has collected many of our Japanese friend Miya's creations in one package. The first package wasn't entirely compatible with PCM07, though, and was later removed from this site. Therefore, if you downloaded the file here before the 3rd of September you will need to redownload it. DvT has released a new package which is fully compatible. It includes the famous Champs Elysses, the TdF podium and the helicopter (in two versions).
Article Writers - apply now!
Currently, we feel that our crew is large enough compared to the amount of members we have. We do miss one kind of crew members, though: article writers. In the upcoming time we will put more focus on article writing, but it won't be succesful unless we get some article writers. So, if you're interested in writing guides for PCM, articles about PCM, articles about cycling or, well, in general writing, send me a PM, explaining what you're good at and why we should choose you.
Apply - now! ;)
------
As you can see we didn't have much for you this time either, but there's simply not much to report at the moment. Also, I have been quite busy with my start at the university. It will probably calm down soon, but at the moment I'm pretty busy. Oh, and don't forget my birthday tomorrow :P |
