First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 19, 2003 7:37am PSTFeeling slightly better than yesterday but I think I'll stay in bed for most of the day anyway. I'm almost never sick, in fact I can't remember the last time so I guess it was my time. Only one more 24 episode to go here, damn 10-11pm was good. One more week @#()$@( And then hopefully the BBC will do a rerun of the first few season 2 episodes as I saw they have started that. Would be nice to continue instead of waiting for September for the local broadcaster to show it. Movie: What sets off the metal detectors first? The lead in your ass or the shit in your brain?

Post ideas!
So, I went to a client's house last night to help clean up and educate. Good times, good money.
Anyhoo, of course Kazaa was installed and all the fun spyware that goes with it. Well, uninstallation and adaware later, everything is money. I then put Kazaa Lite back on there so the kids can continue to steal music. I stopped and asked the freshman daughter before I plowed her dirtbox
"You know you are stealing music, right?"
"Uhhh?"
"When you download a song you didnt pay for, you know thats illegal?"
"Uhhh. Its is?"
"Yea, tell me seriously cause I really dont care -- but you didnt know that was illegal?"
"No. They were just there."
"So, you never thought it was illegal to get music that you have to PAY FOR for free?"
"No, of course not. If it was illegal, why would it be there?"
A little part of me died. I didnt think anyone could be that stupid. So there are mooks out there on kazaa that have no clue that what they are doing is illegal? So sad.

http://mycroft.mozdev.org
mycroft is a mozilla/phoenix plugin that works like sherlock. basically it's stuff that powers your handy google searchbar or the sidebar search in mozilla.
some screenshots (dragon-style, sorry):

phoenix will just display the results page(usually in a new tab, depends how your pref's are set).

http://www14.brinkster.com/newlogicstudios/ss-moz-results.jpg
mozilla's search sidebar has it's own results window, you can browse through them that way too.

three flavors, six files, one zip:
http://www14.brinkster.com/newlogicstudios/shackplugins.zip
installation:
-stick the files in your /searchplugins directory. restart browser.
notes
the next and prev buttons are currently disabled. mycroft is really buggy with these things, the settings there should work but don't. phoenix doesn't use this feature anyway, so it's no big loss, but if you want to mess with it just edit the .src and remove the #'s.
attn: tldr crowd fuck you. :)

As you might know, there are a lot of Linux distros. http://www.distrowatch.com/
For the most part, they are all the same. Sure the installer might be different, and it might be on 5 cds instead of 1 or 2, but once it's installed, and you boot up into KDE/Gnome/whatever..
Anyways, having a GeForce_ card, in order to boot into KDE/Gnome has up till recently required that updated drivers be installed first. Not so easy for a Linux newbie. Not a lot of fun anyways.
So anyways, a new distro comes out, and guess what, it had the Nvidia drivers on the CD! Just boot off the CD, install, and the OS is ready to go! Wow! Progress at last!
Should have known it was too good to last. They released the newest version of the release canidate, I look in the changelog and what do I see?
FIXES:
"NVIDIA-binaries removed"
Why? WHY?
Like I said, I already emailed them about it and you can see the response at the top of the page:

HOLY SHIT.
Aaron Giles improved Midway/Atari Seattle hardware emulation to the point where Wayne Gretzgy 3D runs almost perfectly (full color and everything). He also just got San Francisco Rush displaying graphics (same hardware).
I'm not posting pictures because Aaron gets pissed when people link his site.

RE: Battlefield 1942
To all enlisted men, it has come to my attention that I am getting ass raped by the enemy, specifically those flying planes. Should I continue to try and improve my flying via keyboard/mouse or should I splurge on a joystick?
Over and out.

Alright guys here's the deal, in my government class we're having our own presidential election. We've done tons of stuff thus far but my group has yet to come up with all the ads, banners, commercials etc.. especially the negative ones. Seeing as how Roy is super christian salutatorian and Seth is super christian valedictorian its hard to come up with normal stuff. Thats where photoshopping comes into play. It doesn't have to be fancy, someone else already did one that said "Don't vote for communism" with someone's face put on the body of someone shaking hands with the crazy NK leader.
I put faith in the shack for coming up with clever ideas. I thought about putting some tshirthell shirts on one of them but have no skills at such a thing. http://www.jegsworks.com/images/forrest/ There are three pictures there now, I'll try to upload some more tonight or tomorrow. I have faith in you guys, don't let me down.

One little pet peeve though. If you are gonna show a chase scene involving a 1.8T VW Bug please make sure you use a Turbocharged 4 cylinder for the sound effect of the car moving through traffic, not the signature from a 6 cylinder vehicle. mmmmkthbye..

Great Shackbattle last night, even on the Road to Rome maps. I must apologize to Ghost in my Shell for killing him about seven times in a row with the Spitfire on that RtR map. That was kind of lame of me.
I probably won't be playing tonight, but I hope y'all have fun.
