Work Anecdote 2: Flood!

The Flood

Looking Into Our Space

Break Out The Devil Duck

Shopvac Service With A Smile

As I was trying to track down a few people today, I noticed a large pool of water creeping into our new office space. In a low key manner I’ve come to understand is typical of me, I knocked on someone’s door and beckoned them towards it, quietly mentioning this large mass of water that had already infiltrated two offices.

Panic ensued. Panic with, thankfully, a lot of laughter. It wasn’t just our space that had the water running through it, the lowest floor of the library was also soaked – undoubtedly caused by the massive rainstorm. We kept our spirits high. Rubber duckies were dunked, cameras were deployed, and when facilities arrived with an armada of shopvacs, they were more than willing to pose for a photo or two.
It was the nice sort of ridiculous situation to end a week with.

(I have a few more pictures up under the tag workflood, if you’re bored.)

beatmania IIDX RED Rival Exchange

The recently released *[beatmania IIDX RED](http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/bm2dx/11red/)* features a new set of functionality allowing you to load up to five saves from other players into your game as rivals, and giving you in-game comparison between your scores and theirs.

While it’s a great feature, there’s one small shortcoming: there’s no way to go online to exchange saves.

As of late last night, [VJ Army](https://vjarmy.com/iidx/) has begun supporting upload of PS2 save files for your profile. Any user can upload one save in any of the common save formats (XPO, XPS, MAX, SPS), and the file will be hosted on this server. If you’re a VJ Army member, sign in and then look on the left hand menu for “Upload Rival Data” to find the form. (And remember to set your user ranking in the control panel.)

If you’re not a member of VJ Army – or even if you are – and want to browse the files that have been uploaded, you can do so on the [Find Rival Data](https://vjarmy.com/iidx/findrivaldata.php) page.

And if this all confuses you, documentation should be available within the next couple of days.
