Browser based game similar to Urban Dead (but a lot more complex, so read the tips). We're getting stronger, making friends and enemies. Did our first raid a few days ago, and it was a success (also had the expected retaliation).
Both Shacknews and Shack Hype now require an invite to join.
For Shacknews you can post here, PM me, or send invite request in game (with your Shack name). If you are a 'Lurker' in Shacknews post or PM me for promotion (required for safe access, which you get 24 hours after promotion).
For Shack Hype related things like invites or safe access talk to Code Redbeard: www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?person=Code%20RedBeard

Opening band was the “Sadiesâ€Â, All Music Guide says they are influenced by country, surf music, and garage rock. Their sound was definitely original and they had a few rocking tunes but I wasn’t a big fan of the more country influenced stuff they played. Even still, they impressed me enough with their rock styles that I might look into picking some of their stuff up.
Anyways, overall good show so if you haven’t seen them, check em out this tour -- just hopefully you get a better crowd than I got.

Couple of questions though. What's the deal with Clive and the animals? Why do they like him so much? I'm trying to see the symbolism in it, but I can't quite get there.
Also the reason the fishes want the baby are selfish and to the end of starting their revolution, rather than saving humanity, correct? and why exactly wouldn't they go to the government with the baby? It's simply because the world is too far gone to save in its current state, no? Humanity must start from scratch, i.e with the human project and their 'unspoiled' society, yes?
The action scenes were fantastic, way more action than I anticipated. It was also too short. I could have easily done with another 20 minutes to put it at the 2 hour mark.

And that he turned down an offer from Britney for $10 million to just "walk away" from their kids. He is now demanding $50 million, and sources say she will probably just pay him rather than battle it out in court.
I guess he is certainly getting the last laugh.

I give you my 3-year old son, playing Iron Man on Easy. He manages to play everything in the 90%+ range on Easy, and insists on playing songs on Medium now - and he manages to finish them without failure (just a sore pinkie finger). Anyway, after a crash course in video editing, here you go:

I know it was a travesty to the franchise, etc. but at that price I'm tempted to pick it up for the hell of it. How good/bad was it? If you can forgive the bastardized setting, is the game any good?

They are the non-condensed versions that actually fit more closely with the movie. Bilbo's Birthday Party music is in there, Gandalf singing his little tune as he enters the Shire, Bilbo singing the Road Goes Ever On, and much much more.
I got both for Christmas and finally got a chance to start listening to them last night. I wasn't expecting much of a difference, but if you're like me, you have listened to the soundtracks hundreds of times and can recognize the songs. So much has been added upon, and I have fallen in love with this music all over again. You can get both from Amazon.com.

Anyone know if there is an isNull function in postgresql? It's such a useful function and i've used it a 1000 times on sql server. basically the method takes 2 args
isNull(column, defaultValue) and basically says "if this value is null, return the default value"
here's my problem:
I need ratings.average_rating to be 0 if there are no ratings.. currently it's returning as null.

I LOVE picasaweb, it's absolutely fantastic. My biggest gripe with it is the upload speed. It's constantly erroring and takes hours to upload less than 100mb of photos. I'm wondering if the "pay for" service has that problem. $25 bucks a year for 6gb and a great site is reasonable if the upload speed doesn't suck.
