| ANOTHER BLAH DAY... (1:25 PM EST) |
| Not one .plan file today, NONE. Man, I guess this nice weather has forced everyone outside, even Fadz. I'm going to go out and goof off some too, it will probably rain in ten minutes... :) |
| WINNAVIGATOR |
| Yesterday I posted a link for a Winder$ file browser called WinNavigator (see below) Well I've used it a bit today and I must say, IT ROCKS! If you haven't gotten it yet, do so now, it's well worth your download. |

| MONITOR REPORT (1:45 PM EST) |
| I got it finally today. They sent me a brand-spanking new one, so I'll let them live for now.... When the UPS man was dealing with me (upset cause I think I got him in trouble) I felt like doing a Jar Jar Binks impersonation... "how wude!" |
| FADZ WRAPS UP HATCH CONTEST |
| Well, this one came
and went REAL fast. Fadz had a Orin Hatch quote contest yesterday to find
the top twenty quotes for the picture of Hatch holding up a copy of DOOM.
My fav was this:
"Upside down it spells WOOD, which is what I have right now" You can check out the other entries over at NoFaDz: http://www.nofadz.com/hatch/links.html |
| 3DFX FINALLY APPROVES VOODOO^3 BETA FOR LINUX |
| The same guy that put out the 'hack' I posted a while back has now been approved to making the drivers full-on by 3DFX. This new beta finally adds 3D support... Thank God. Read more and get it here: http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS_vb_glibc.html |
| OLD MAN MURRAY CONTEST |

to enter, the top two will be getting Intensor Chairs... :)

| WINNAVIGATOR 1.6 BETA |
| As you know I prefer
Linux, but many of you silly people still cling to Winder$, so the least
I can do is try and improve your Winder$ experience by introducing you
to non-Micro$haft products to replace their defective ones. WinNavigator
is an Explorer file browser replacement, here's there description and list
of features:
Powerful but an easy to use file manager -- a good replacement of Windows Explorer or Norton Commander. Besides usual file management (copy/move/delete etc), it contains built-in viewer for 9 most-popular graphic formats, and 11 sound/music format, as well as video clips ( Microsoft AVI). In addition, it supports all compressed files like zip, arj, rar etc (showing them as regular folders), has the SysInfo panel, internet dialer, clipboard viewer, calculator, audio CD player, and resource explorer. As a bonus, the program contains two simple games (tetris-like one, and Life). Multi-language support is also there (now available: English, Italian, Polish, Russian, Czech, Hungarian, Spanish, Lithuanian) I'm downloading it for when I am forced into Winder$. http://www.copris.com/wn/ |
| THE QUAKE AND QUAKE II BUNDLES FOR LINUX ARE OUT! |
| For
a real cheap price you get Quake and both mission packs OR Quake II and
both mission packs for Linux. No more struggling to get it set up :)
QUAKE QUAKE II |

Jack Frost nipping at your nose?
Norm: Yep, now let's get Joe Beer nipping at my liver, huh? |
| #84 A MAN TRAVELS THE WORLD IN SEARCH OF WHAT HE NEEDS, ONLY TO RETURN HOME TO FIND IT... |
| This is submitted by abraxas, my unknown stalker... ;P Whoever you are, given recent changes around here, and conversations I've recently had, I am left wondering if this is in reference to these events and conversations. If so there is a very small amount of people I imagine would know these things... Especially since it's very true for me currently. |
| RINE'S LINK OF THE DAY |
| I'd heard of VGA Planets, but somehow never got into it (too lazy to find site and such) But I stumbled upon it while digging Creep's page. This game is whacked... http://www.vgaplanets.com/ |
| THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1999 |
| MONITOR REPORT (5:15 AM EST) |
| I got a message on my machine saying they would try to deliver today (Thurs) but the driver needed info as to how to get in the building etc. I called them and explained it real simple: "open door, go up steps, knock." That seems simple yes? God I hope so, if not... Shining my Louisville Slugger for a bit of skull banging, UPS style. |
| EGOS |
| Recently
I was accused of having a BIG ego. Here is an actual email I received yesterday,
it sort of feeds the monkey so-to-speak.
"I'll camp out in front of my building with a ballbat." LOL. Moses, you are probably the funniest man alive. You should make a friggin' comic strip outta your daily life! I withheld the name so he dosen't get emails telling him he is a freak, but the email is intact. Damn these people for making me feel special ;P |
| RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK SECRET |
| Ok, he didn't remember which movie in the Indiana series it was, one or two, but my boss says that Indy is looking at the Ark or something that had symbols/runes/hieroglyphics on it, and in the symbols was R2D2 and C3P0. Next time you watch these flicks look for it, and let me know if you find it. Guess Lucas and Spielberg both get off on that stuff. |
| .PLAN FILE STUPIDITY |
| Eric Smith (Lead Artist [Daikatana] Ion Storm) updated
his .plan with this:
MADE YOU LOOK!! GO AWAY!! GET A JOB!!
He's just mad cause the Ion Storm put out lots of .plans but no games... :) |
| QUAKE II MAPS FOR Q3A |
| Blurry.. Real blurry, and funky, but it is Q2DM1. http://www.planetquake.com/dl/dl.asp?/3/q3q2dm1.zip |
| BRIAN HOOK ON MINIDRIVERS |
| We
will not be supporting any form of OpenGL minidriver for Quake3.
As a matter of fact, we will actively be attempting to DENY support for
minidrivers. Minidrivers have proven to be nothing but a support headache for us and a constant barrier to improving technology and giving user's sane maintenance updates. We are philosophically opposed to the idea of an OpenGL minidriver in this day and age because every important IHV has a solid, working _full_ OpenGL driver. Creative's minidriver is being developed against our desire, and we do not intend on supporting it in any fashion. |
| CARMACKS FIXES |
| *
enable scissor test properly
* archive r_lodBias * cg_draw3dIcons 0 option * data cheating protection * userinfo renamed to clientinfo, added state and current server address * don't forward commands to a server when playing demos * fixed NULL extension on dir command * added one more shotgun pellet * added CG_Shutdown for cgame cleanup * fixed jitter in rising smoke * increase minimum time before reusing an entity slot * soundinfo reports current background streaming file * changed IPX separator to . from :, moved port processing to system independant code * auto port scan wasn't updating the net_port cvar * attack button presses reset inactivity timer now * increased the forced respawn time from 10 to 20 seconds * show smp on gfxinfo, slight reformat |

| Sam: [answers the
phone] Cheers! ... [to gang] Hey guys, it's Norm.

| #83 EGOS ARE ESSENTIAL AS CO-PILOTS, BUT AS DRIVERS THEY SUCK |
| This
is not a gem exactly, but it fits a current situation, and my mind is sort
of sluggish at 5 AM... I have found that an ego can be your best friend,
it can help you overcome loss and pain (especially with women) when you
let it give you some directions. But when you blindly let it do the driving
(I did this for a few years) it'll eventually drive you right into a wall.
Main Entry: ego Pronunciation: 'E-(")gO also 'e- Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural egos Etymology: New Latin, from Latin, I -- more at I Date: 1789 1 : the self especially as contrasted with another self or the world 2 a : EGOTISM 2 b : SELF-ESTEEM 1 3 : the one of the three divisions of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory that serves as the organized conscious mediator between the person and reality especially by functioning both in the perception of and adaptation to reality -- compare ID, SUPEREGO - ego·less adjective This one is for abraxas, whoever you are... I'll put my mind more to a better one for the next day, now I must sleep..... |
