hen t h e e r the blender 2000 - #002 quote of the week bedlam so much for my 10 page paper that s due tomorrow w e l c o m e wow that s all i can say blender2000 #2 was basically the perfect blender we had tons of people submit in all sorts of creative formats and the quality of the entries kicks ass! congratulations everyone who participated you did a really good job once again judging was really tough i m sure you can imagine trying to compare 16 entries in about 8 different formats in 15 minutes and pick the top three still i m happy with our choices this time in first place big yellow man s ansi is one of the best ansis we ve ever had the submitted thanks to everyone who apparently read last week s infofile and focussed on actual humour rather than stickmen-with-penises the entries were hilarious and are a good example of what a little thought can do =) once again - this color-scheme for the infofile is ancient if anyone wants to draw a logo that says blender b2k or blender2000 please do we ll pick the best one and use it for the infofiles from now on same goes for the file_id diz n e w s at this moment the word-submission thingie on the webpage still doesn t work until it does we ll be continuing to gather words on IRC just before the compo but once the webpage works you ll be able to submit words anytime you want if anyone can help out with a simple perl script (no CGI) email us!
