MONITOR REPORT (2:25 PM EST)
Rine found a UPS 'attempted delivery' notice on our mailbox this afternoon. We live on the third floor, this means the lazy-assed driver didn't feel like walking up three stories, so he just stuck it on the mailbox on the first floor. If he had come upstairs I would have heard him knock and the 'notice' would have been on our front door as normal. GAH! I called and raged and they said they'd report him and make him come back today... We'll see. F*#KERS. At the very least I should have it bright and early tomorrow, I'll camp out in front of my building with a ballbat.
 
CARMACK FIXES (12:40 PM EST)
* basic joystick controls some work still needed for advanced controlers
* r_dlightBacksides 0 option (Sounds Kinky)
* forced cvar_restart when version changes
* fixed some flare-in-fog problems
* fixed skin color in menus
* print obituary message even when you are the killer, so all kills get an entry in the logfile
* fixed bugs in line token parsing when quotes or commands aren't white space separated
* multiprocessor acceleration "r_smp 1"
* increase menu dimming
* increased rocket damage radius from 120 to 150 units (Bout time, more damage too John)
* check for running server in all server commands (dumpuser, etc)
* new cvar cheat setup -- by default, only archived variables can be changed when not cheating
* "cg_drawstatus 0" only removes status bar
* "cg_draw2d 0" removes all 2d
 
MONITOR REPORT
Still no sign... Getting VERY angry.
 
PHANTOM MENACE SECRET...
Puppet tells me I missed not one but two scenes with Ewoks in Episode I. Now maybe his mistook some other little furry people as Ewoks since as far as I know, Ewoks have no ships or any other technology that I've ever heard of. But for those of you who aer going to see it (or again) here's where he said he saw them:
* Somewhere in the Imperial Senate part.
* On Tatooine they come around a corner and stunble into the street.

I miss some minir things cause I sit front row like 5 feet from the screen ;)

 
INTERNET CENSOSHIP IN AUSTRALIA
From Slashdot:
"The Australian Senate passed legislation today that requires ISPs to block any web site in the world that is classified as offensive by an Australian film board. The law is set to go into effect January 2000."
This is F*^KING ridiculous..... Read more:  http://au.dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/260599/nbtech/927697800-806092851.html

QUAKE II MAPS FOR Q3A

FEEDBACK
I started a new kick recently of posting the full url's to sites for a couple reasons:

* Folks with very old browsers can copy/paste the url directly.
* Folks who like to see where they are going can do so. For example, you know you're going to Geo-Shitties so you prepare to battle the spam ads.
* It can help you remeber what that bookmark went to since you've seen the actual url.
* It's easy as hell for me.... :)

Like it? Hate it? Let me know....

 
Q3A CONTEST
Hehehehhe, three words, Quake Cock Muzzle....

PHANTOM MENACE SECRET...
Saw The Phantom Menace again today. A fella I know noticed something VERY COOL. In the scene where they are at the Imperial Senate, immediatly after the BEAUTIFUL Queen Amidalda calls for a vote of no confidence, they show aliens going nuts, in the bottom left corner is a group of E.T.'s. That's E.T.'s as in E.T., the Spielberg creation. It was so cool to see them there, it is cool to see movies tied together even if remotely. Earth was sort of tied to Star Wars, even though THE E.T. we know might not even have existed a long time ago.. blah blah...

NEW MESA BETA (3.1beta2)
Mesa, described as: 
... a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to that of OpenGL.
Has released a new beta version for download. You may recall that John Carmack donated $10,000 to Mesa's developer to help make Mesa a fulltime job. It's Linux's GL alternative, but has a Winder$ version in the works too. You can read more or download it at http://www.mesa3d.org/
 
INTERNET EXPLORER FOR LINUX?
From Slashdot:
fremen writes "Spencer F. Katt has a few lines in his weekly column about Microsoft vs. Linux, including a comment about Microsoft forming a team to write a version of Internet Explorer for Linux. He indicates that Redmond is afraid, very afraid. " 
I wonder if Micro$haft products will crash as bad in Linux? :) I believe this is a sure fire sign that Gates is getting frightened about Linux.... Good.
