 Let's make it clear: We don't have much news for you this week. In fact, we have pretty much nothing. But on the other hand, there's no reason to save the news that we have for next week - so here you go! ;)
PCM.daily with new initiative
Inspired by other communities, PCM.daily is now starting a new initiative: A Monthly Story Award. Some may remember the awards organized by Smoothie, but these differ since we only have one award for each month: An award which is given to the best story of the month. The nominees will be picked out by the crew each month on the 1st, and the winner will be found after a voting which all members can partipate in. The winner will be given a diploma designed by Smoothie which can be used as an avatar or in the signature.
DB Viewer to make a comback
For some months, the DB Viewer made by AaB-ern, which made it possible to view a DB's stats and riders before downloading it, has been gone from PCM.daily due to some incompatibility issues. However, those problems have now been fixed, and we're working on implenting some of the newer databases to program. Unfortunately, this task requires Office 2008, and since only 1 in the crew has that program, we'd like to get some outside help. So, if any of you has Office 2008, can work a little with the Advanced Editor, and is willing to help, please contact me - thank you! :)
PCM Giga Pack to be released soon?
In September, Portuguese Jan_Ullrich11, who's also known for his stage making, announced that he'd make a so-called PCM Giga Pack. According to the first posts, he was planning to add several new teams, several new races, a new interface -- and much, much more, making the package reach the size of 1.3 GB. We haven't heard much since then, but supposedly, it's ready now. On the official forum, he said that he had problems with the upload of the DB, so maybe we'll see it online very, very soon. Either way, you can read more about it here.
Michael Rasmussen to make a comeback in 2009
With the announcement of both Vinokourov and Armstrong's comeback, we decided to start a new poll asking you which rider you thought would be most likely to make a comeback. And according to you, we'll definitely see Michael Rasmussen back in the pro peloton in 2009 - he received 30 % of the votes. Technically, it was wrong to put him in the poll since he didn't retire - but oh well, he's an old guy ;)
In fact, the same technical problem also exists for runner up Andrei Kashechkin who received 24 % of the votes. More surprisingly, only 6 % of you think that Mario Cipollini will try his luck again in 2009.
New poll? Sure, it's been going on for a while now, but with Kohl's positive test I'm sure that some of you would like to change your vote ... which is impossible. If you haven't voted, make sure to do it now ;) |
