Uh, oh - BRYCE:
We gotta bit of a problem. Check the Ninja. It's only been hitting older posts, so I didn't notice it.
Hitchhiker's Guide Movie Trailer
In the thingy. Not much, but still cool to see something.
microsoft is funny
ok.. so my little critical update downloader thing is blinking at me.. click on it and it tells me it wants to install this update:
Critical Update for Windows
This item updates the Bookshelf Symbol 7 font included in some Microsoft products. The font has been found to contain unacceptable symbols. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.
WTF? Anyway.. fired up charmap.. its got some random accented characters, several Chinese characters, a few weird symbols, a Jewish star of David and a swastika (sp) :)
oi..
Shorten your links
A guy I used to work with (I guess I worked with him.... Technically we were both employed at MentorU at the same time, but I don't know that I ever spoke to him... Francesco, tell the kiddies how I know you when you see this click-thru) has started up a link sharing service at
URL123.com. It's pretty snazzy, so give it a look.
(You owe me five bucks for ad space.

Music for Chris
Ok, here's the site I've been listening to:

Some Plaque Company is Fired
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0715041wtc1.h...It was just noticed and reported that the plaque at 9/11 Ground Zero lists the date as 9/11/2002 instead of 9/11/2001 in the text. WOW.
Voice Chat Server?
I've used this a couple of times, seems pretty nice. I prefer ventrillo, but I was wondering, how hard would it be to set one up? I'm thinking about invesitigating this for my guild in star wars galaxies, but we could also use it to chat with each other (and yes, I've heard of skype, sp).
Thoughts, ideas?

More VG speed runs!
http://planetquake.com/sda/other/other.htmlThe Half-Life one, at 48 min with all cutscenes included, is incredible! I particularly love the snark-jumps and using the scientists to prop open doors that are supposed to shut.
There's a 17 minute Fallout 2 one, but I haven't watched it yet. The Mario 64 vid is cool, too; all 70 stars!
