by Steve Gibson, Dec 19, 2006 6:00pm PSTSo we had a little sillyness with the mail server today. We're pretty sure we didnt lose any but the thing is you cant ever really be certain. So like, if one of us won the international lottery and we just need to move that cash through some banks in Nigeria drop us a line. We'll of course cover the wire fees and deposits required.

Ok so I frantically search for another ticket, get one on Expedia.com, keep in mind it's 4:10am and I figure I'd be in an airport, and I'm half asleep. I book a flight that leaves at 1:20pm for $800, fucking weak, 2x what it usually is, the total flight time is 6hrs 5m. I get the itinerary in the email, and it's all like wtf you have a 17 hour flight across country, connnnections ftw. Fuck that. I should of read it more carefully, but under the circumstances I tried, I lost out on ticket prices like 5x while trying to rebook because people were buying up all the tickets.
So I call expedia, their system is fubard so they can't do anything except cancel and refund. Luckily they are cool, so they are going to let me cancel for only $35, much cheaper than usual, since nothing else is available that isn't the suck. So I find a mediocre flight, but still much better one for $900 on cheaptickets, still get in rather late, but those are the breaks. So now I'm on eternal hold with my reference number to get a refund for that expedia ticket.
So basically, I should be on a flight to NJ right now, instead I'm out about $2500 thanks to US Airways, the worst airline in the world (even if I get $1500 back in a month or so). What a fucking headache to wake up to on your first day of vacation. :(

While Nintendo's Wii enjoyed a successful launch last week in Europe, the Nintendo DS had a record-breaking week with 515,000 units sold across Europe. Sales of the DS last week are the most any console, across all formats, has ever sold in a week.
Nintendo must be laughing all the way to the bank at the moment. People (me included) sneered at the DS when they first announced it, but its done everythign they wanted it to do and more. And now it looks like the Wii is going to do the same thing.

WTF WHY DO I HAVE TO USE FREEHAND TO DESIGN WEB PAGES. It's impossible to deal with when it doesn't even display pixels at 100% when you zoom to 100%. It is truly the biggest heap of crap in existence. My boss is all like "that gap is a bit big under the image" ITS NOT FUCKING SUPPOSED TO BE, FREEHAND MADE IT THAT BIG ON IT'S OWN. JESUS.

Doing some morning learning of shaders and I decided to implement that Mandelbrot code in XNA that someone posted a link to a while back... However I've run into some limitations on my crappy Laptop GPU... (Only supports Pixel Shader 2.0)
My question is how might one go about down grading a Pixel Shader 3.0 program to a 2.0 one. Is this even possible. It's a ridiculously simple (looking) shader, however the compiler is complaining about arithmetic and instruction positions (which honestly I know little to nothing about)...
Halp.

"We will have a dream team to offer to Canadians," Dion said as he made the announcement in the city of Quebec Monday. "In this dream team, my dream was to have Michael Ignatieff as close to me as possible."
Haha so gay. But cool none-the-less!

However, the most interesting part was when i loaded up soul caliber 2 and checked out the link there compared to the current link in TP. I was actually suprised to find that the TP link is much more detailed and much more 3d than the Soul Caliber link. For example, links chest strap clearly exists in a 3d space off of his tunic in TP, whereas in Soul Caliber 2 it is simply tied to the tunic mesh.
Anyway, i just found this interesting since SC2 was considered such a graphical treat back in the day. I merely mention this since some have complained about the graphics, which i really find to be superb for what they are, and end of life gamecube game.

Absolutely loving the game so far, I'm right after the bossfight with the 1st of the sisters.
Can anyone tell me what I have to do to get the good ending? I just want to be able to play all dungeons and fight all bosses. There are a few walkthroughs, but they pretty early and not at all clear.
