by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 26, 2004 7:51am PDTNot too surprisingly Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has turned out to be an excellent game. I bought a PS2 just for GTA3 and then sold it after finishing the game and realizing there wasnt anything else on the system that I wanted to play, and I waited for the PC version to play Vice City. However it's now two years later, the PS2 is cheaper (and smaller for that matter), there are a few other games I'm interested in, so I might just have to buy a system and the game. I recently cancelled pre-orders on a few games too, this holiday season just has too much to offer already, I'll get to stuff like Battle for Middle-Earth and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 next year. Movie: The justice system works swiftly in the future now that they've abolished all lawyers.

I'm currently contributing 8% pretax to my 401(k). Company contributes 4%. I'm able to save approximately 25% of my aftertax income.
I plan to buy a house in 4 years. Need a bunch for a downpayment. At least 40,000 would be nice.
I'm obviously able to contribute more to my 401(k) (and Roth IRA for that matter). Should I increase my contributions into those plans, or just save put the leftover 25% of aftertax income into a separate account?

The Day After Tomorrow
Well, it wasn't half bad.. I guess reading all the non-hype made it better than I thought it would.. :) of course there were a couple rediculous things, like walking 40 miles in a blizzzard in one day.. yeah.. but overall a half was decent popcorn movie..
One of the best parts was the preview on the DVD of Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. That looks like a fun movie..

CNNfn is working on a story about the gaming industry and the producer in charge has asked me if I know of some gamers they can talk to about games and film as they play for a while. (Where better to search than teh Shack?) They're looking for both a child (10-12 years old) and adult (30-something). A father-son gaming family would be ideal.
Need someone in the New York City area. If you fit the search and are interested - or know someone who is - fire me an email. (Email address is located at the bottom of every column. Here's the latest: http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/25/commentary/game_over/column_gaming/index.htm )

I installed NWN this afternoon after finding it under my desk, and I can barely get into it. It's so damn boring, especially with a weak little character!
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think most RPG games get fun until you have a respectably high level character. Then you can pull off the badass shit and never be bored by killing/getting killed by rats. Sure, Diablo 1 and 2 are pretty sweet right off the bat, but that's because they're simple action games. Why can't they make a deep RPG that is fun from start to finish!!!

Your reading the following from a .txt file
chook, hook ,
Hook being the user ID to delete in AD, hook being the users last name. I'm reading them into an array called arrInput and using split to parse the array into arrInput(0) , arrInput(1), arrInput(2) . What I need to do now is find the OU where the user resides. The OU's are named acording to the first letter of the users last name.
So my question is there a way in windows scripting for me to parse the first char in arrInput(1) ? Syntax please ?
