Site almost re-done... + bonus: Valve's games high res icon pack
Last few weeks i was updating my site, that was abandoned somewhere in 2008 year due of server problems.

Old site engine was rewritten with new cms, but new cms mean new problems, and salvation of these problems mean a lot of rewritten code.
I promised myself few years ago that im done with programming, but it still cant let me go, and its pretty big pain in arse now, because it so freaking hard to code when you forgot almost everything you knew about programming.

After this total reconstruction my site have comments, rss, twitter integration and many other things you may not care about laughing, like custom error pages 404, 403, etc (try http://voodooman.gta-action.ru/wtf ).
All downloads still available, and there are some file that i never published on site but which was here for years.
For example beta icon pack of Valve games including original Half Life, Half Life 2, Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, Portal and even Portal 2 which was made long before it was really announced (i knew its coming wink).
It was available here for friends since 2008, i only updated archive with few new icons half of year ago.

Download these icons now!

ATM im busy with code polishing and restoration of some old news.
Please use comments for bug reports and suggestions.

Fresh redesign after i screwed up previous one + Repair GTA news
Yesterday i was trying 2 fix page style to make it compatible with Firefox and Opera, but i screwed up CSS file, so i decide 2 start design again from scratch. Just after few hours i did what u can c right now (not sure if it still will look like this tomorrow) but during production again that bug appeared in Firefox where page was totally fucked up... finally i fixed that's lame bug, and u know what? i don't like Mozilla \ Netscape-based browsers, bcoz they don't following all css and xhtml rules, so i need 2 use my "voodoo magic" to make page look exactly the same way in all browsers.

Now about Repair GTA - universal backup tool: RC1 english and russian is ready to be distributed. Just preparing package with express written readme, when i finish i will upload RC1 to my site, so comeback later today.

New counter installed... missing ASP features
Just installed Hotlog.ru visitors counter, bcoz mail.ru one is old, lame and have number of visitors from Hideout v2 that was deleted 2 years ago. Going 2 index my page in search engines.... btw i feel myself so fast, free and safe when using my own static xhtml instead of php powered cms that i previously used in hideout v2 (damn phpnuke nuked itself and i lost all files at http://voodooman.gtwar.com ). Bad thing that this is NIX server that have no support for asp scripts, im not good in php coding.
