R.I.P Odyssey
Nov 29th
BTW, not that anyone cares, but I just thought I’d mention that my internet access is now extremely intermittant and crap. My old AMD K6-2 450Mhz with 128meg RAM, 2x 1.2gig + 1x 6.4gig drives… Yeah, that one. It finally died after at least 7 years of faithful service, running 24/7. (well, except when there…
Guild Wars on Linux update
Nov 29th
Well now… Things are looking almost up. I managed to get Guild Wars running as far as the login screen last night. That means I can now log in to Guild Wars under Linux. :-) The down side is that after logging in, the screen goes black (no errors in the console that I can…
CVS Cedega not running Guild Wars
Nov 28th
I think I’m going to give up on trying to get Guild Wars running under the CVS version Cedega. For everything I can find, it really doesn’t like my ATI drivers (even though they’re the latest Linux drivers from ATI themselves) and trying to load Guild Wars fails every time. Don’t even get as far…
Could’ve been Scott!
Nov 28th
This video is great. The Z3 going head to head against the GhostRider. :-) But with a twist. :-) I swear, sometimes it seems like Scott’s driving the BMW ;-) The sort of maneuvers you witness in this video are the kinds of things that Scott (and admittedly I) used to do when much younger.…
Telecom’s new rodent lives.
Nov 28th
In case you hadn’t seen it yet, you can check out Telecom’s new online shopping experience. The address is ferrit.co.nz and I’m quite surprised. Its not entirely like the idea I had, so I might still be able to actually win some business after all. ;-) At least, if I can get the damn software…
Aussie media reports of the UK sports events.
Nov 27th
While I’m on the subject, lets have a look at some of the Aussie media (Fairfax really) reports about the sporting events in the UK ;-) A controversial penalty try against Australia’s backpeddling scrum has sparked a scintillating Welsh upset that may have sounded the death-knell on Eddie Jones’ reign as Wallabies coach. The Red…
Aussies + Asia = Extreme Tension right now
Nov 27th
I’m not so sure how I think about this. Convicted of sedition because he posted anti-muslim comments on his own blog? The guy was posting a view point. Without looking at what he actually posted (since been removed from the Internet by the Singaporean authorities) I can’t say he was inciting rebellion or the like.…
WE WON!!! KIWIS BEAT THE KANGAROOS!!!
Nov 27th
Blah blah blah… All Blacks… Scotland… Grandslam… Win 29-10… Yay. Will miss Tana if he decides to retire. Who fricken cares??? THE KIWIS BEAT THE KANGAROOS IN A SHUTOUT 24-0 Thats the first time in 20 years or so that the Kangaroos have been scoreless in a test match. Thats the first time the Kangaroos…
Tired of Rebooting to play games. Cedega trials to begin
Nov 27th
Right… Thats it. I’ve had enough. I’m tired of rebooting in to Windows every time I want to play Guild Wars. Its just getting plain annoying to say the least. So I’m going to grab a copy of the CVS version of Cedega. Its freely available to all that are willing to download, compile and…
More Google Video videos :-)
Nov 26th
More movie madness. This time more stuff from Google Video. :-) Now, I don’t speak German, but if you can sit through the whole 4 1/2 minutes of this, you’ll be laughing your head off at the end of it. :-) Its not hard to work out that at the beginning, Jenny says she’s 17…
