Fireball Island. Yes, this game is still present in our house. But it hasn’t been played by anyone in probably a year.

Is still one of the best FPS games ever. So is its expansion, United Offensive. We now return to your regularly scheduled rarely-updating blog.

Inspired by arioch, yet again.

While on a post-Christmas visit to my sister’s family’s house with the rest of my family on December 27th, I decided to bring along my laptop and see how many access points I could pick up along the highway/freeway in city areas. In Columbus, Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne, the total number of access points I picked up was 206. Here‘s an export from NetStumbler.

Also, I recorded a video yesterday with Fraps showing the way Unreal Tournament runs with excess speed on my laptop. Needs XViD to play.

You’d need this guy’s to appreciate a lame joke like this.

Also, fear. Three updates in one day, rawr.

Thanks to the suggestion of arioch, I installed Spam Karma. Should come in handy.

I added a couple of links on the right to some friends of mine that I’m hosting here.

Right now I have a free package with 5gb monthly transfer, 500mb of space, 5 ftp accounts, 50 e-mail accounts, 1 mySQL database, 50 subdomains, and no free domains, and it will be free through October 2006. My host is offering a deal for us Professional Preview Package people to upgrade our account, for $9.95 a month locked that price in for 3 years, to get 100gb, 4gb, 25, 1000, 3, 200, and 5 of the above, respectively. Think it’s worth it?

Also, if you’re wondering where I’m working now, it’s here. Coincidentally, I’m also posting this from work!

Thunderbird just deleted about a dozen messages that were in my Inbox. I don’t know why. Good thing they weren’t incredibly important.
