#12 Posted Thursday November 26/09 The things that go through my head...
10:24pm Ryan

well, i've been working on this peice of code that cycles through all the entries in a directory, including a certain number of the files for a blog type thing into the page

for some reason, it refuses, no matter what I do, to show certain numbers of the pages, it's like it doesn't even know they exist.

Have you ever run into that sort of problem using php5 and opendir() or readdir()?

I don't evean know what your talking about

I didn't know that the US's Ex-President Nixon was responsible for handing over control of their healthcare system to the industry. It's quite interesting how alien the concept of government paid and managed healthcare is to Moore. Although, over the past few weeks It's been coming together in my mind that most of the underlying problems with the US, from the patenting of medical research to rediculous new extentions on copyright being pushed through congress, are from the steadily increasing control "corporate america" has on the scociety. There's a huge influence US corporations have on the lives of privite citizens and the government process, through somewhat aggressive advertising/propoganda and campaign contributions/bribes.

Slow as Mollassas Backup Nightmare

Disaster neatly averted, all it took was cp /dev/sdb /dev/sdd

What do do with the old failing drive... what to do...

Laptop Woahs.

Sunday night my laptop decided to not boot with grub. This abnormality continued untill I decided to install windows 7 on my laptop. Grub may have taken this as a threat, and decided to boot Linux. It may or may not have anything to do with the loose screw that was bouncing around inside the laptop in the preceeding days.

The latest release from Valve launched today, but poor Ryan can't play because he has to work. I have played the demo breifly though, and my pros and cons can be outlined thusly:

Good:
  • More special infected
  • adren/boomerbile tactics
  • neater guns
  • "machete screensplatter gorefest"
  • "and you shall have my axe"
  • regular infected more troublesome, including riotgear
  • new music, nicer graphics
  • Geoff: "You can get a chainsaw in that game? I'm buying it."
Bad:
  • daytime, spec infected easier to spot
  • special infected dumber, easier to kill when survivors stay in a group
  • when alone, too hard to stay alive, discourages exploration
  • Overall, this is going to be an awesome release, and will definitely expand the player base considerably without alienating the hardcore crew, unlike some other popular games... *Cough* World of Warcraft *Cough*
