by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 13, 2006 7:45am PSTBeen watching speedskating the past few days, as it's the only Olympic discipline where we have medal chances (we're only taking part in four sports overall). Three medals so far, not bad. I also watched the male snowboarding halfpipe event, which had some nice tricks and jumps. The rest of the Olympics though, I can't be bothered to watch. Movie: Oh, you give a fuckin' asprin a headache, pal!

On Friday, we lost one of our own.
Foo the Feeble died Friday morning due to complications from surgery to prevent/remove a chest aneurysm. Another shacker here, hiloopy, knew him very well and told me all of this. Apparently the surgery wasn't planned and it all happened really quickly. He didn't get a chance to see him before the surgery, and I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.
Terrence was one hell of a guy. He suffered from a disease that left him, well.. feeble. I wish I could remember the name. I'll find out and post it soon. Five or six years ago, he underwent surgery and it left him parapalegic and bedridden. But I don't want you to remember him like this.
He was never sad. I do remember that. Whenever I talked to him, he was never depressed, never worried, never anything other than cheerful. He was smart, caring, and loved this place. You probably played World of Warcraft with him, he was Elania, the priest.
I talked with this guy every day. I knew about his life. I still have shackmessages in my inbox from him. This hurts, and I miss him.
Anyway. I just thought I should let you guys know. If you want to send your regards to the family, I'll get the information from hiloopy along with a few other things I'm missing here.
Adios, muchacho.

http://www.famitsu.com posted the D.I.C.E interview with Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, the dynamic duo behind ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. I haven’t seen it anywhere else yet, so I thought I’d do a quick translation for anyone who was interested. See reply! No earth-shattering revelations, but is a pretty interesting read.

Have there been any good ones recently? I am equally open to the current 3D monsters as the ancient Secret of Mana style or the Disgaea strategy RPGs.

I'm downloading the 1/06 release of Solaris 10 since both of my UltraSparc boxes are running 1/05. Do I have to update the Software Companion CD, or can I just use the older one?
I'm going to reinstall on the Ultra 5 with the "Reduced Network Support" option to see what it looks like with barebones.

PHP4
Sessions are just broken. They worked just fine and all I changed was moving my login/logout code into the dbcon.php file (where I include the database connection stuff and such) so that I didn't have it spread across 5 different pages.
Now, even though session_start() gets called and $_SESSION[''] accepts values and all, it if I move to a different page it all goes away.
This is higly aggravating. >:(

After that checkoug ign.com's hands on with the multiplayer here http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/686/686883p1.html which sounds really really fun. They also have a cool 6 minute developer interview which you can download/view here http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/748/748368/vids_1.html
Anyways the game sounds pretty damn cool. I may still wait on reviews but it seems like a fun game that's not a cookie cutter super ninja hyper realistic shooter we've had on the gaming scene for so many years now. I'm excited to have something different on the market. It sounds like the stratgies involved constantly change as does the action since everything is so fast paced. Relic makes pretty good games on the PC so I have high hopes
I really hope it's good insert "wtf are you Silent Wolf jokes here

9:30 The test-schedule lady isn't in yet. Her kids had a snow day and she's running behind.
11:30 She's out picking up lunch
12:30 I send her an email
3:30 She's gone for the day.
At this point I ask the receptionist about taking a test even though I know she can't schedule anything, only put me into voice mail.
The place only does training/consulting now. They don't do any test taking at all.
DOH.

My desktop computer and a laptop are both running off of a D-Link DI-604.The laptop is hooked up fine to the internet but my desktop won't go online for some reason. I tried swapping the cat-5 cable from one to the other to see if maybe one was bad but that had no effect as the cable that allowed the laptop to connect to the internet didn't do anything for my desktop computer. I checked the Network Connections and both my Local Area Network and my 1394 Connection are connected and firewalled. Is there something else that I should check? Last night it worked fine but today I couldn't connect.
Is it possible that my onboard lan port is messed up? My computer was detecting when I unplugged the Cat-5 cable from the port and saying that my Local Area Network was interrupted so I didn't think that was the problem. I would appreciate any help as I am at my wits end trying to figure this out.

The last 3 episodes were very mediocre and I think part of the problem is, Season 1 was very contained with few episodes to get anything done. Season 2 is a full 22 eps so its in slow mode and its sort of dragging.
The fleet really doesnt seem to be in any danger. They never really said who took over Pegasus. The shows devolved into petty squabbles within the fleet. The only hint that the Cylons still posed any type of threat was from that Raider ep with Scar which didn't seem that big of a deal.
