Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 03, 2007 6:27pm PDTWell, I'm thinking there will be quite the basketball game on tonight on TNT. I shall enjoy it, and hopefully at the end of the game I'm not crying in the arms of another man.

Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Demon's Souls servers extended again
While it was well done (albeit a bit ridiculous at times) I think I liked the second one better.

using ereg only returns a single match
preg returns many
All my expressions are ereg compatible but preg returns a REG_ERANGE error. I don't know what this means. Can ereg be tricked into returning more matches? Like, 30 sets of 2?

Anyone else have one? It's a Kahr PM9, 9mm. The STALKER disc is for size reference. I ran through 200 rounds to ensure smooth functioning, and man... it was perfect. Accuracy's good, recoil is good (considering that it's, you know, a 9mm round being fired from a very small pistol). It made the low recoil of my G19 seem even lower by comparison, which was rather amusing.
All in all, I'm happy with it. It's a fun little pistol.

Well, fuck you MS. The marketplace over here is a joke, having much less content than the US one. Demos are late or never appear, you can forget about movie trailers. And if those appear they'll be dubbed, no thanks. Stuff like the Gears map pack was never released here. The video download service is also US only. The marketplace really loses most of its value for me if I can only access the pathetic local one.
I'm beginning to think microtransactions and digital distribution are a really bad trend. Region codes and copy protection on physical media sucks, but it's still preferable over this fine-grained control and DRM atrocities like only being able to play your XBLA games when connected to Live.

It is because I am OCD.
I waste all this time doing things that are...well...fuckin' OCD.
In CoH for example:
- I will make sure that my infantry go before my armour in my groupings. Then I order them like this (for Allies) - Infantry (Riflemen, Airborne, Rangers), Support (Mortars, Snipers; I don't group MGers 'cause they go in houses, and it messes with my grouping if I press the number, but it doesn't go to them), Vehicles (Jeeps, Halftracks, Armoured Cars, AT Guns), Armour (Shermans, Crocodiles, Calliopes, Pershings). I usually try to do one person per group now, 'cause before it lead to bunch-up and poor pathfinding.
- I will sort through units and retreat guys back to base (if Allies) so they can heal, or sort through them so I can heal them with medpacks (if Axis).
- I try and make my base look nice. Like...fit together.

For those who hate the jump start of an alarm clock or the shock and awe of bedside breakfast radio, there is now a much classier wake-up option. Voco has developed a more gentile ticker that sounds off with the dulcet tones of Stephen Fry, using his best butlering banter to get you out from between the sheets. Fry, who once said his vocal cords were "made of tweed," recorded fifty tender, deferential, deeply respectful wake-up messages to coax "sir" from his depths and off to the office. The popularity of the £26 clock has ensured that an equivalent version will soon be created "for madam".
tl;dr - Stephen Fry will wake you up in the morning.
