promising new p2p software

version 0.21 of the new eXeem software was just released. its a p2p network application based on the greatness of BitTorrent.

eXeem kinda works like Kazaa. you connect to a network and search files. Kazaa never checked or verified files, so you'd end up with a lot of corrupted files. since its based on bittorrent, files found with eXeem pass a hash check to verify they are good.

while its still new, and the network is small, its growing fast.

half-life 2

one of the most anticipated games in a while just came out, Half-Life 2.

if you haven't bought Half-Life 2 yet, i recommend NOT getting a copy at the store, but through the STEAM service instead. grab the Silver package. you get more games than retail, Valve (the hard working developers) gets more money instead of Vivendi / Sierra (the evil, big corporation publisher), and you dont have to deal with CD checks, cd key, or file authentication that the Retail version annoys you with when you want to play (the Steam version is ready to go without headaches)

you can read about the history of Half-Life 2 here. (removed)

"In September of 2002, in an interview with the Washington Post, AOL Broadband President Lisa A. Hook called broadband "a side issue" and proudly declared that narrowband was "going to be around forever". Lisa Hook however won't be; she was fired this week, along with 700 AOL employees from their Virginia Headquarters in just the latest effort to right a capsizing ship."
