While i think Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani, have amazing/incredible technical ability, thier songs don't do anything for me musically.
I have some Stevie Ray Vaughn, Clapton songs which have some great guitar work and sounds good. Looking for more stuff like that. Any recommendations?

What you need:
--> Sid Meier's Pirates!
--> Adobe Photoshop or Paintshop Pro
--> Microsoft Direct X SDK
(1) MAKE A COPY of the "flag_firaxis.dds" and "ship_sail_emblem_lrg_firaxis" files from your C:\Program Files\Firaxis\Custom
(2) DOWNLOAD and install the Microsoft DirectX SDK kit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/directx.asp
(3) OPEN your copy of "flag_firaxis.dds" and "ship_sail_emblem_lrg_firaxis" with Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro. Follow the instructions on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/directx9_c/directx/graphics/tools/texturephotoshop.asp
(4) EDIT the file as you wish with your graphics editor
(5) SAVE your new file as a DX3 file back into the "Custom" folder. So for example design your new flag and ship sails and save them as "flag_yournamehere.dds" and "ship_sail_emblem_lrg_yournamehere" and then make sure you choose "DX3" as the type.
(6) START up Pirates! and go into "Modify Your Ship's Sails And Flags" and you should see your new creations as options! I believe they are shown alphabetically.
Just For Fun: I made my own Shacknews pirate flag set.
Here is the Adobe Photoshop template I used for creating the Shacknews flag set:
http://www.gonorthdesign.com/flags_shacknews.zip
Download it and open it and you will see a mask for each of the various sizes (256 x 256, 128 x 128, 64 x 64, etc.) Just make sure that your artwork fits inside of each of those masks.
For some reason you have to crop the Photoshop file down to 256x256 in order for the flag ans sail to show up properly. I made a mask for each of the various sizes because that is how Firaxis did theirs. But I can't figure out how to save my file with different levels of "mipmap".

Never, ever, create a machine that may open a rift in space / dimensions.
Always shoot zombies without hesitating.
Negotiations are pointless. War will always start anyway.
Jumping around will make you harder to hit.
Henchmen are expendable.
Mushrooms, fruit and glowing orbs are great for your health and stamina.
If you are a bad guy, always store your treasure out on a ledge, over a trap, under a boulder. It's not like you are going to need that treasure anyway.
What else?

New pics up from the latest party. This was in a different city with not very many hot girls, and I had some irritating camera troubles on top of that so the quality isn't as high as last time. As usual I had an absolute blast though and I got paid well, so it's essentially one of the nicest jobs you can have. Take a look at the pics if you're a fan.

They delayed the test due to bad weather. Look boys, Terrorism does not take a day off or hand out Rain Cheques. So cancelling a test due to a rainy day seems weak.(teehehe).
I still think this defence missle sheild is not worth the money pumped into it. Throwing missles at other missles. We all know how well those Patriot missles perform (although they are getting better and Isreal is even twaeking it for their purposes and having some success).

Someone here posted a link to the new version of Gaim ( http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ ) which convinced me to convert. Fun program.
However, to get the spell checking aspect to work on XP, I apparently need to install GNU Aspell and a library. There was a nice dandy page ( http://aspell.net/win32/ ) which had the Windows download with some dictionaries, but I can't get any of the links to work, and I can't find any mirrors.
Anyone got any ideas for spellchecked IM justice?

our voicemail stopped working. it's some sort of partner mail system. i was tasked with calling the telco guy we have out here from time to time. couldn't get a hold of him.
so i went back to the box in the server room and thought "ctrl+alt+del", assuming that if it's not working now, resetting it couldn't hurt anything. so i unplugged it, waited about a minute, and plugged it back in.
everything works fine now.

Ok, the new stuff installed easy. MB, CPU, RAM all work fine. The problem is
1) Win XP won't recognize the new HD as 200gb. Only 131gb. I went through with installation in the hopes that once it was done, it'd recognize it. It doesn't. MB manual says nothing about this topic. BIOS recognizes the HD as 200gb. Set on auto detect.
2) the secondary HD I have was tagged as "C:" instead of the new one. I suppose I could unplug the old HD (which is correctly installed on IDE2) for the install then plug it back in when XP is loaded.
