Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Dec 04, 2004 5:00pm PSTWe're getting pretty close to our holiday giveaway time again with a number of game publishers jumping on board wanting to offer free games to you guys. I've decided to keep them all though and sell them on eBay. Sorry. Maybe I'll change my mind in a couple weeks.

GREAT article from the AP about how the Internet has shaped my generation's (I'm 23) lives.
shit, I've been sitting here for the past hour or two reading up on Las Vegas hotel information and trip reports, just because I'm so excited to go for New Year's again. When you stop to think about it, this age of information sharing is unbelievable compared to the world of just 10+ years ago.

Wow Cal sure got the shaft, in a major way. A TD was taken back after a blown call by a ref and probably because of that we got voted out of the Rose Bowl. What a horrible horrible dissapointment.

The Jack Ryan story is a series of books, right? How many have there been so far, and what's the order of them? Worth reading?

The "official" HL2 SDK discussion board is so dead useless, I'm wondering if there isn't somewhere else where people are helping each other with things :( ( http://www.chatbear.com/board.plm?a=boardlisting&b=4989&v=flatold ) Anyone know somewhere else?
For those interested, I can't seem to generate a single cubemap. I made an empty textured box with a spawn, a light, and an env_cubemap. I load up the level and wait for it to finish rebuilding nodes. I bring down the console and type "buildcubemaps". It flashes some textures in the top left then HL2 just disappears. It does this to me with any map.

Fun WoW Screenshots from Today's Journeys
Well, found a group to do the Deadmines. We got all the way to the end, and killed Van Cleef but there were 2 Rouges we didn't see, and they took us all out before we could snatch our reward. So, after rezzing, and running back to the instance, we waited at the top for him to respawn. Partying ensued...

http://www.g0nk.com/shack/wow/wow4.jpg - Females gettin' their groove on..
Then we found out that VC doesn respawn.. >:( So we disbanded and headed back. Not wanting to do the whole instance again at the time.
More Fun!

We will be playing Battlefield 1942 with some custom Shack maps.
I'm going to see if I can get the default rotation changed to not include any of the BFPro maps but occasionally one may come up and I will manually change it back to a normal one.

Could you please .....*gulp* perma-ban me from the forums? I am a college student who needs to spend more time studying my material than the gaming news and comments from nerds like myself. I need a way to kick this habit which is the shack and go out in the world and make something of myself. Everytime i set down to study, i find myself staring at this forum, with its black background that represents my future if i dont get my ass in gear. I love you shack and shackers, but I have to let you go!
Thank you for your help, suggestions, good times, and endless babble. Steve, good look with everything and I hope to one day return and chat/play with you again!
I give it three days

Works out to about $1249CA which isn't bad I'm thinking. The only reason I can see the 600m being $200 more is that it's about 40% lighter. So is the 5160 decent? Is this a good laptop deal for us Canucks?

So I have 5GB of webspace now, and I need to use it. It's mainly going to be for hosting files for myself, friends, etc, but I'd also like to have a webpage to front the domain, just because websites are fun to run! And then people will look at it and be like, "Wow, cajuncook is so awesome-o."
Problem is, I have no desire to learn any high or even mid-level html, css, php, etc. So I want something that is already done for me and easy to set up. Any suggestions? The server supports php, mysql, and all that fancy shit.

I wan't to get a good quality digital camera but I kind of want to keep it in budget. I don't really have that high standards either way. I'd like it to have 16mb or more storage. A little zoom, not too important. But mainly it has to have rather decent quality when still.
