Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Mar 21, 2008 6:00am PDTGood to see everyone, let's kick off Friday. Did you catch the news about the new RockBand store included in the latest patch? Even without it, six (6!) million songs have been sold. Plus, people play Call of Duty 4 here, yes? Well there's a new map pack coming for you. In other news, Faylor actually does manage to talk with Peter Molyneux, with part one of our interview here. And of course, don't neglect a chance to show your eeeevilness for fame and prizes. So what are you kids playing this weekend?

There's been some interest in our Shacknews Flickr group. This is a great chance to show us your work as well as get some critique from your peers. So be sure to join up! I go through the approval list about once a day, if not more. Once you're approved, go through the pool and leave comments on other Shackers' pictures. I always get a warm fuzzy feeling when someone leaves me some comments.

While you're at it, don't forget to join our Assignment Group. This is an excellent way to improve your photography. I'm pretty sure we're going to be doing these bi-weekly. The current assignment is self-portrait. So go and take a self portrait of any kind and post it to the assignment group. Be creative!

Since both of these are private groups, I won't approve you unless you link your shack profile in your join request Half of you guys don't use your shack name on Flickr and it's confusing.
I'm going to try to post the best shots from the group daily for a while. We've got some talented photographers in here.

I apologize for the quality, it's my cell phone, my digital camera died and I haven't bought a new one yet. You can't tell, but in the middle is a pewter keychain of the wolf head logo. The novel didn't come with it, it's just an advanced copy that will be out in May. Man, I totally lucked out.

With the functionality of the battle system pretty much done, I'm working on the layout. I kinda like the layout I have, but I also think its a bit cluttered, especially in the upper right where all the party members Command windows are. I thought about putting them along the right border instead and moving the players party members out some... but what do you guys think would look better?

Sapiens and his buddy joined me and a friend of mine from the Natural Selection community for few rounds of awesomeness.
I would like to take the opportunity to praise Sapiens for slaughtering Green Grass & High Tides on expert guitar. He only failed once because he had to use his star power to save my bass failing ass. Sorry buddy!

Can people drop in this game? Just spent an hour and about to win and now everything is frozen, I can't move and keep getting a Kick Option pop-up every 20 secs for the opposing team. I click the KICK box but it does nothing? WTF
Am I going to get the loss for this B.S?

Friday Night Frag Fest: Tonight 10-11ish Central time.
Server Updates:
1.) CTF maps are now *only* playable in CTF game modes. Upstairs and one hallway downstairs are all CTF maps. Death Match maps are all downstairs. If you select a CTF map and it wins election, you'll be able to choose CTF, Classic CTF, or Capturestrike only.
2.) Team Balances. The server is now set to balance teams by individual skill rankings after each game. This makes sure one team isn't made up of veteran while another of scrubs like myself :)
3.) Death Match has a surprise for tonight, Friday, March 21. It's called Lithium Mode and you'll love it or hate it :)
Updates and current information are available as always at www.shackquakelive.com

I know some of you guys work with this stuff and have experience.
So my question is:
After installing ISA2004 (from the Tech CD) on a SBS 2003 Premium, what else do i have to make ISA to be able to identify computer clients with their respective Active Directory usernames ?
Right now all clients come up as "anonymous" .
Last night's recap: http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=16537913#itemanchor_16537913
I'm L40, still alive, and we will be questing some in Act4 and helping whoever needs through Act3 tonight (and tomorrow, I guess). I am tired and busy and may not play terribly much later, but at least a little!
last night after I went to sleep, zanzares posted and was a bit concerned about higher levels getting people quest credits too early, when the high level person may go kill a boss w/o the rest of the group. he kinda has a point, that should generally be avoided, out of courtesy. the higher level person (whom we enjoy having around!) can just leave party before farming whatever boss. no drama, all happiness! I don't think any harm was ever intended.
game name will be shackhardcore / pw: shack as usual.
hardcore challenge: much like Diablo 2 hardcore mode, I will retire this char and restart if I die.
