I'll be away or effectively away for a while :(
Sorry folks, but all the anticipation for the GTExK (Knossos?  ) and my releasing the Amaunet, GTExD and GTExE will have to be put on hold for a month or so.  

This week I'm absolutely swamped with Real Life™ stuff that I must finish before...

...I go back into the IDF reserves for 12 days of training on Sunday the 28th.

Then, in mid-November, I'm going to take a trip with my Dad to the US to help my aged grandparent make a move from Florida to NY, where my aunt can take care of them. I'll probably be there for 2 weeks or so, and maybe a bit longer even (if so probably only a few days longer).

So basically until the beginning of December, I'll be out of the productive loop. Most likely I'll hop back over here every so often to say hello and all, but I won't be getting any MODding done.

I'll try my best to find time to prepare the Amaunet and the GTExD for release, but ATM I doubt I'll be able to.  

Anyways, see y'all 'round the bend, when we'll be that much closer to the first LOTR movie! Yay!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

Couldn't resist, sorry...

Here's a bit of humor - Israeli style!

NOTE: "Yitzhak" is Yitzhak Shamir, Israel's Prime Minister during the Gulf War. He's a no-nonsense leader, and stands about 5 feet tall.  

 
Quote
Saddam Hussein was sitting in his office wondering who to invade next when his telephone rang.

"Hallo! Mr. Hussein," a heavily-accented voice said. "This is Yitzhak down in Tel Aviv, Israel. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!"

"Well, Yitzhak," Saddam replied, "This is important news! Tell me, how big is your army?"

"At this moment in time," said Yitzhak after a moment's calculation, "there is me, my cousin Saul, my next-door neighbor Shlomo, and the entire pinnochle team from the deli -- that makes eight!"

Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Yitzhak, that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command."

"Oy vey!" said Yitzhak, "I'll have to ring you back!"

Sure enough, the next day Yitzhak rang back. "Right, Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be, Yitzhak?" Saddam asked.

"Well, we have two combine harvesters, a bulldozer and Goldberg's tractor from the kibbutz."

Once more Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Yitzhak, that I have 16 thousand tanks, 14 thousand armored personnel carriers, and my army has increased to one and a half million since we last spoke."

"Really?!" said Yitzhak, "I'll have to ring you back!"

Sure enough, Yitzhak rang again the next day. "Right, Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified Moshe's ultralight with a couple of rifles in the cockpit and the bridge team has joined us as well!"
Saddam was silent for a minute, then sighed. "I must tell you Yitzhak that I have 10 thousand bombers, 20 thousand MIG-19 attack planes, my military complex is surrounded by laser-guided surface-to-air missile sites, and since we last spoke, my army has increased to two million."

"Oy gevalt!", said Yitzhak, "I'll have to ring you back."

Sure enough, Yitzhak called again the next day. "Right, Mr Hussein, I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war."

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Saddam. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Well," said Yitzhak, "We've all had a chat, and there's no way we can feed two million prisoners."
