Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 11, 2002 5:00pm PDTOh man, just a few too many things going on at once around here, and then there is that looming UT2K3 demo that nobody seems to have the slightest clue about as far as when it's going to be released. FileShack will certainly be hosting the demo the moment it is available though, so dont worry about that. Thanks to the folks who have been emailing me making sure that would happen :) Hey look, stuff!

I have been working on this for about the past week. This is Chapter 1 of my novellized version of Deus Ex. Liberty Island.
I am going out with some friends right now, so I wont be around to answer questions, but I would greatly appreciate it if you would take some time and read this. I have worked pretty hard on it. I'm a bit rusty in my creative writing, but Im hoping it will develop again over time. I'm going to be putting these up on a site eventually, and might even try to get www.deus-ex.org to host it.
NOTE: THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT
I need any input, comments, criticism, complements, encourangements, hate mail, love love love mail, or anything else, so PLEASE PLEASE read this and shack message me, or reply to this thread.
Here it is:

It calculates the skill using Kills - (Deaths + Suicides) which is kinda off since there are really shitty players with a high skill. At least its something.

This hasn't even been announced by Compaq yet, but I've heard they had something new up their sleeve by a friend who works for them. Atleast a 400MHz processor is a given, more info I dunno though. Maybe Maarten can translate the article. I don't think the average shacker cares all too much though. Personally I'm as happy as can be with my iPaq 3630, if it's powerful enough for DivX I don't need more. My main use is writing down text anyways.
More pics/info here, though in Hollandish.

Toraz will love this one: Making the shift to 64-bit is a massive undertaking for any vendor to do, [Intel senior VP Mike Fister] said, even without trying to straddle 32-bit computing as well. "If it's so easy to do, you'd think it wouldn't have taken us so long to get to Itanium."
I think that's more than fair for a trade. Don't you think?
