I found this wiki which seems to be solely about websites. Everyone can add a site with explaination, link it to certain keywords ect. Like a more organized google. Maybe we should put the Snarkpit in there?

I found out today that I am completely unimpressed by the PS3. I played a demo unit in Target.

I was expecting something with amazing graphics like I've never seen ... but it turned out to look about as good as Call of Juarez. It had graphical issues surrounding models (it had a dissolve or spatial effect) and there were still jagged lines in a lot of places. The textures looked fantastic though. Which I imagine is the real graphical power of the machine: high-res textures.

Anyway, Target idiotically put the controller 2 feet from the 17" HDTV that was displaying the PS3 ... needless to say, I was very, very, dizzy when I walked away.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Just to recognise the source of that post Adam.

Chris Ware, one of my favourite comic artists did some work for the New Yorker and the Virginia Quarterly Review. I found these very high resolution scans (1MB+) I really like.

While digging through my backup cd's, I found an old screenshot of a benchtest I did last year. My Radeon 9800 pro.
My nVidia 7800gs.

At first I was a bit amazed, but then I noticed that you have a bit faster processor on your new rig. I hold interest to this since 7800gs is available for AGP and my current gfx card is radeon 9800 pro. Seems to be more than twice as fast. If I'd have newer mobo I'd upgrade for sure, but I guess I'll just have to cough up some 1600? from somewhere and build a new rig next year(I need new monitor too).

*whispers*

I bought the 3700+ because it was cheap. It however still runs at 2.2 ghz, just like my old 3500+ did.

I'd wager that the increased score was 100% card related.

Linux version of Firefox 2 has the same problem as its windows partner here in Snarkpit(the black scribble in the message box), but then again this wasn't a big surprise. :P

Oh and to the main point of this post: I managed to get Steam run on linux(Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 + The current version of Wine). According to the listing in Wine HQ both HL and HL2 should work. I'm going to test this as soon as I get my games list downloaded and then I'm going to test some mods(namely Dystopia, Empires, Eternal-Silence and Iron Grip: The Oppression).

You should check out Cedega. It's the WineX emulator (they changed the name at some point and started charging $5 a month) and doesn't cost anything if you don't mind compiling it yourself.

They also have an emulator called Cider, which allows Intel CPU-Macs to play Windows games.

Most of you may have missed it since I posted the news in my profile but recently I lost my pickup truck off the back of a bus I was delivering. Truck was hurt beyond towing anymore, but salvageable.

Needless to say, I needed a new vehicle. I found one nearly like this one.

Its pretty sharp. One owner and only 54,000 miles on it. It was still under the previous owners warranty so its been pretty much kept well.

/me is jubilant.
