Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 10, 2002 5:30pm PDTAh yes, this shall be classified as a good day. Well, excluding one of our FileShack mirrors getting wiped for a few hours.. hehe oops? Good fun and the woman is already feeling a bit better after I posted bail for her. Gonna spend the evening practicing up for the upcoming CAL-M season in hopes of winning a few matches? Hmmm... well we all know webmasters cant actually play games tho so I guess I shouldnt get my hopes up. heh. Here's stuff for the evening:
- The secret to the nets success! - How about that, a movie studio actually embracing the web. Yay. - Intel and music swapping dont get along - Fixing kids vision early - GTA Vice City is gonna be big? Say it aint so?Lastly, some guy thrown in jail for a few months for not turning off his cell phone on a plane. Apparently following directions is difficult.

One last weird thing... I hate computer labs. I dunno. I prefer to listen to instruction/lecutres/whatever and then go to a computer and work on the stuff. I find that sitting behind a terminal/laptop/whatever is much too distracting (take a guess why). Oddly enough, I'm the only one in class who seems to turn off the monitor during the lecture. Oh well... time flies when you're not paying attention.

When BF1942 comes out, I will be taking down the demo server in order to put up a retail server. I don't think 64 players is possible on the current box. Also, when UT2k3 comes out I don't think I'll be able to run a server for it unless I get another box from somewhere. If you guys are going to continue to want Shack servers and for me to put the time into them, you are going to have to donate boxes or cash for a new server and I'll host them. If you want to donate anything towards a server or you are just feeling generous, you can PayPal me @ ashke@ashke.org. Keep in mind, I do appreciate the donations and if I get enough, they will go towards a new server but thats all I'll promise. You won't get admin, you won't be exempt from being banned if you act like a fool or anything like that. I've already invested a lot of time and bandwidth and server time to Shack servers already on my own (RA3, JK2, AA, SOF2, BF1942 and even NWN), so if you want to help then feel free. If not, thats ok too. I won't ask again, since I don't like to ask people for money, but if you want me to continue Shack servers, this is your shot. This is what I had in mind.

I just called to get cable connected at my new apartment since I canont use DirectTV there. For $40.02 per month I will be getting every single movie channel and tier programming available through Cox (excapt Pay Per View). All I have to do is give them my shitty DirectTV dish and receiver and that price is good for 12 months. They are coming Saturday to hook the service up.

On my bike ride to work I noticed that there were pairs of police everywhere downtown. A whole block in front of the courthouse was shut down and there were two firetrucks there with a huge flag hanging between their extended arms.
*sigh*
Oh, and they're having some huge parade downtown this morning.
