I would like for everyone to check out Progress Quest. It's an RPG-type game, similar to Asheron's Call and EverQuest, except with a lot less of the fluff that you would see in those games.
It is online, and you can compare your stats to other people's stats.
What makes this game different is that:
1. It's free.
2. It has insane items and creatures.
3. It requires almost no interaction to play. :)
new and fun game!! Read More »
another one of those "behind the scenes" web server type things that would interest no one but me. my web site provider has almost doubled the amount of bandwidth sites hosted by it can use. bandwidth was at 3 gigs per month, but now it is up to 5 gigs per month.
that should give me more freedom as to what i can have hosted on my site. this site only uses around 40 megs of space, but would always go over 2 gigs a month bandwidth. this month for example, i removed several downloads (such as XoloX) to save bandwidth, as I was close to going over my limit.

Possible spoilers.
I'm kinda torn on how I feel about the movie.
While in at least one way it reminded me of Back to the Future II (a super advanced future - just a few decades away) - it totally ignored the time paradox thing mentioned so much in the BttF series.
The time paradox thing I'm talking about is like this:
One cannot go back in time and then kill one of your parents - because then you would of never been born to be able to go back in time!
However, in the movie, there was an event so terrible, that it caused him to want to make a time machine in order to go back and prevent the terrible event. However, if the terrible event was prevented, he never would of made the time machine. Perhaps he would of made the time machine much later down the line, but it was just weird that he suddenly made it just to stop the one event that made him make it so quickly! And then - even when he went back and changed something, after failing just ONCE, he GAVE UP.
The moon concept/thing was cool.
The computer guy existing for 800,000 years made no sense.
English existing for 800,000 years made no sense.
In just hundreds of years, people in different locations all have different
versions of English (ye olde english vs current England vs American vs Slang American, Southern American, etc, etc). so why is it person A in 1890 sounds exactly like person B in year 800,000?
I couldn't make much sense of what was going on with the super-advanced underground human mind controlling the mutated predator humans. Like, why did he seem so civilized, and yet so monsterous at the same time? Why did he seem friendly to the time travler guy? etc, etc...

Like it had intelligence - and more importantly, had feelings..
Why? Because I want to cause it PAIN.
Every time I set a folder to a certain view setting (such as "Detail View," sorted by "Type"), and then 10 minutes later the folder has reset the view setting on its own (to something like "Large Icon View," sorted by "Name"), I want to have a Big Red Button® that I can click that causes the system to experience HORRIBLE PAIN.
Everytime Windows loads up, and several programs such as GetRight, Task Manager, Serv-U, and others are loaded, but DON'T show up on the System Tray, I want Windows XP to feel more PAIN.
I want it to feel so much pain, it will do nothing but CRY until it learns to do stuff correctly.
I think the the problem with Zip files showing up as folders, and the Search program searching through Zip files as if they were folders is somewhat fixed - by first unregistering the ZipFldr.dll file, and then deleting it in Safe Mode... But shouldn't there be some sort of option to tell XP to NOT fucking treat Zip files as folders? Even with WinZip or WinAce installed and fully registered with all .ZIP files, XP still "sees" them as folders.
I wish XP was "alive" ... Read More »
pretty much everything should be working on the site again...
news, news archives, forum, counters, image gallery, etc, etc.
during the past few days, ive been doing a lot of "behind the scenes" work on the site, working with .htaccess files, making sure all cgi bin and ssi stuff was working, etc.
web site status... Read More »
