LINUX (4:45 AM EST)
Well, I have all prudent files to upgrade to the 2.2 kernel, and tweak it. But have to wait now till I got the time to sit down and do it. I'm skeered... :/
WELCOME NEW SITES!
Welcome to JON! over at SPACE, it's a site as Fadz put it "...dedicated to bringing you stuff... And lots of it!"

Q3A PICS...

Optimizing OpenGL drivers for Quake3 (Linux)
John Carmack wrote a ditty about OPENGL and Linux, it's real techy, but may be useful to some of you Linux hax0rs. Read it HERE.
HAHAHHAHAHAHA
Rine sent me this link to the Kimble vs Bill Gates Directors Cut. This one is even better... :)
LINUX POWER
Cheapbytes.com has Redhat Linux 6.0 availible for pre-order for $1.99. Interested in moving into Linux land? :) If you want manuals and such, check out the larger packages, which still are cheaper than uncle Bill's OS. :) Also compare prices at Linuxmall.com
LINUX RPM'S
These buggers are dangerous indeed, so easy to install, so easy to to screw up your system. :( Although I think not reading all the required things migh be part of my problem. There, I admitted it, I didn't properly read documantation... :( Words to the wise: Read ALL documentation before plunging in.

LINUX SUPPORT... (1:10 PM EST)
From Betanews
Both 3Dfx and nVidia have promised Linux support for their new graphics cards, so Quake 3 Arena will be a major step for gaming in Linux.
Thank god. I thought 'cutting edge' was going to be slitting my own throat.....
PS, updating your site while ready to passout is not a good idea... :)
WELCOME NEW SITES! (5:50 AM EST)
Welcome aboard two of Nofadz.com's new blood. J2 Music and  Polychrome Visor HQ. J2 will be offering original music, and Polychrome will be providing Q3A skins galore. Give them a day or two to get all their files uploaded, but do check out their sites...
DISRUPTOR LAYS SMACK DOWN
From sCary's
Disruptor from id Software, after watching a huge thread go on about the "Demonic Imagery" in Quake3 made this post to the Quake3 messageboard.

                  The reason it's in there is because it adds to a
                  creepy atmosphere. It's there to stay. No way am I
                  going to get rid of all the flaming skull torches,
                  goat heads, crucified jesuses, and pentagrams in
                  my maps. It just makes things look way too evil
                  and creepy. Our next game should appeal to all you
                  people who don't like the demonic imagery. It will
                  be bright, cheery, and colourfull. The levels will
                  all take place outside in grassy fields with blue
                  skies, butterfly's flying around, birds chirping,
                  and ponds gurgling. You will see Amish communities
                  in the background with horse buggies and carts.
                  You will feel so joyous when playing our next
                  game. It will only have one weapon. "The Gun of
                  Love and Happiness". Every time you shoot someone
                  with it, it takes away from your "Happiness
                  Points" and gives your "opponent" "Love Points".
                  The person who loses all their "Happiness Points"
                  becomes chronically depressed and is out for the
                  duration of the level while it goes to a cutscene
                  of you receiving therapy from a psychologist. The
                  person who has the most "Love Points" at the end
                  of the level wins.
Hehehehe, I said something almost exactly like that a little while back... :P


 
HAHAHHAHAHAHA

Bah, Redhat is too swamped with RH 6.0 getters for me to get necessary files..:( Have to wait to move into kernel compilation mastery... :)
A MESSAGE FOR TOXY
Dear pissant,
I read your post on the DI messageboard, but felt no need to reply, till Essobie accused me of saying things that YOU said on the board. As to the comments about my RA2 playing skills, I recall joining the WOLF server a couple weeks ago, coming into 1 on 1 where you were, and without a word you just left. You are a pussy. Period. Didn't say shit to me, nor had the balls to go a round or two. Just acted like the stuck up PQ prick that you are....

AMD and KryoTech have created a monster. After super-cooling an AMD K7 with the KryoTech, and overclocking it, they ran the first CPU at 1 ghz. Omg, we're talking HUGE QUAKE SERVERS!!! Check out the articleon Yahoo

A DUMB WOMAN....
Kenn Hoekstra (Raven Software) updated his .plan with news of his STOOPID sister

April 28th, 1999 - That's it!  My family is cursed!  My sister Lee Ann just
called me from Atlanta and had this story to tell...  It seems that two weeks
ago, she stopped by a local McDonald's and ordered a Super Sized Extra Value
Meal.  She pulled off the Monopoly game pieces to find...BOARDWALK!  She
looked at the game piece and said, "Hey...this is the most expensive piece
on the board."  But then, in a moment of irrationality, she figured that
Park Place must be the "hard one" to get this year.  So she threw the pieces
away with the trash and thought nothing of it.  Today, she went back to 
McDonald's and got a large Coke.  She tore off the game pieces and what
did she see?  PARK PLACE!  ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!  Yes, my sister just lost
her once in a lifetime shot at winning $1,000,000.  *sigh*  I guess maybe
I'm not the unluckiest one in the family after all...  =(  My advice?
Start drinking heavily...  Maybe the pain will go away eventually...

LINUX POWER
Tomorrow I go into the scary land of kernel compiling... Wish me luck... :/
BOBBY DUNCANSON HUMOR
A GOOD WISCONSIN JOKE!
*********************
In the middle of a blizzard, on a dark highway, two guys are driving. 
One's from Wisconsin, the other is a FIB. Due to the poor visibility, 
they crash into each other. They call the cops on a cell phone, and 
while they're waiting, they begin talking about how they shouldn't 
hate each other just because they're from different and diametrically
opposed states of the Union. The Wisconsin guy grabs a bottle of brandy 
out of his car and says, "Let's drink to our new friendship!" The Illinois 
driver kills the first half of the bottle and passes it to the guy from
Wisconsin and tells him to finish it. The guy from Wisconsin says, "Naahhh, 
I'll wait til the cops get here."
Friggin twisted.
ENEMIES IN WAGES OF SIN
Michael (Boone) Boon (2015) updated his plan 

I've been asked this by a couple of people now, so I thought I'd post it 
to the world.  I just hope I didn't forget any!  The new enemies in Wages 
of Sin (in approximate order of appearance) are: 

- Crawler (little guy who spits at you from the ceiling or floor) 
- Splitter (big fat guy with a shotgun, explodes when he dies) 
- Split Bug (spidery thing which comes out of the Splitter)
- Grogg (albino thing with a bone instead of one hand, who doesn't 
       attack unless provoked) 
- Slim (aka Chicken-legs, carries a shotgun) 
- Doggie (mutant dog with very big teeth) 
- The Claw (this fine piece of scripting by Z qualifies as an enemy in
       its own right, although I'm not sure if I should include it as
       a creature)
- Mortician (the guy who leaps around a lot) 
- Manero's Thug (mobster guy, carries a range of weapons) 
- Security Guard (this is a Ritual model with a new set of animations 
       to make him an enemy) 
- Janitor Bob (the little round flying robot who fires blue plasma at 
       you) 
- Beecadrone (this is a Ritual model which was almost entirely unused 
       in Sin - the flying thing with the laser) 
- Goliath (the super mutant: big, ugly, strong, bad-tempered, throws 
      stuff, that sort of thing) 
- Manero the crime lord - he is just a reskinned thug. 

Plus there's Jessica/female dancer and the male dancer, but they don't 
attack you.

Hope that's useful to someone!

More often than not when I've caught them, they turn out to be real turds. They look and act wonderful before, but after... psychotic, nasty monsters.
