Ah-hah, see, I bet you all thought I had disappeared into the void, didn't you? Well, I have returned, finally able to edit wiki's properly, and with two complete seasons of BSG in 1920x1080i resolution. Expect updated HD screencaps from me from time to time, and if anyone has a screenshot request - lemme know ;)

Screencap Update!

Just to let everyone know, i'm now replacing my BSG Season 1 collection that was previously in 960x540 XviD's, to 1280x720 x264's - the quality is MUCH better, less blocky and higher res - requests please over at Requested Images....and can someone clean up the requested images please because i've uploaded a bunch that have been requested, but they've not been used, or crossed off the list --Fordsierra4x4 05:53, 4 August 2006 (CDT)

Another update - i've got the first 3 episodes of Season 2 now, and will be dealing with them in the next few days with regards to screencaps. The rest are coming in as fast as my lousy internet connection will allow. --Fordsierra4x4 15:42, 16 August 2006 (CDT)

The first seven episodes of Season 2 are complete, as well as Resurrection Ship parts 1 & 2 and Scar. The rest are coming but its taking a looooong time! As usual, ask me if any specific shots are needed. --Fordsierra4x4 18:41, 23 August 2006 (CDT)

I GOT ME A FLAT!

Okay, the whole house thing fell through unfortunately, blame the landlord for being a complete dork and also refusing to give back the deposit. Anyway, i now live in Palmers Green - not far from where i was originally looking and in the same price range.

Heres a link that should show you all the wonderful fun pictures.

Oh and its also the reason why i've been absent for over a month! :D

Woo Yay! I really should upload some pictures of my house soon too --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 03:39, 4 October 2006 (CDT)

Anyone want a good cheap lappy?

Yep, i have a laptop for sale, and although its on ebay (as seen here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&item=270044247450 ) if anyone from the wiki thats in the UK wants to buy it - i'll let it go for £399. It's an almost brand new Acer Aspire 1642 WLMi, has 512mb DDR2, 80gb Hard Disk and a 15.4" Widescreen Display. If you buy it - i might also dump 36gb of battlestar on there for you, but thats only if you buy the laptop - dont say i dont give you value for money! :D

It's all gone - ended up going for £320 in the end :(
