Surprise, I’m playing games instead of doing homework.
Well, most of my homework is done and I can put off sleep, so oh well. My main normal PC died randomly yesterday, so I installed Bootcamp and Windows (ugh) and got the Team Fortress 2 beta installed tonight.
At default settings, it suggested 1680Ć1050 and high character detail, low textures, high shadows, and not much else. It ran about 20-30FPS in a single player game.
Since getting a Blackberry at work, I’ve been obsessed. Internet, chatting with friends, Google Maps, any piece of information I want, on the go, and in a great package. The old and busted model 7230 that I had nice, I wanted better. After my friend bought one and started nagging me, I caved and bought the Blackberry Curve today and am loving it!
Key features that I love:
Amazing Internet browsing.
So for those in the know, Hidden:Source came out with Beta 3 of their Half Life 2 mod. It is an excellent and very much improved version, which I can’t stop playing. My server has been updated with it and it’s running 24/7, as the name suggests. I’ve been having issues with Mani Mod and server crashing, but that seems to be all due to Mani Mod. The server code is alot more stable, which I love.
Okay, not really, Apache does a great job for a webserver, very stable, very easy to use, and it works most of the time. However, I’m becoming incredibly fed up with it as I try to do more complex things.
URL redirection and bandwidth limiting are not possible under my current configuration. URL redirection semi-works, although not under my main www directory, only under sub folders, why, I don’t know! I cannot get my htaccess file to have any access under the main www directory which annoys me to no end.
I’ve thrown up a new mod called 7th Serpent on the server here. It is an excellent total conversion for Max Payne 2, that has been a few years in the making, just recently announced. Check it out, leave a comment on how you like it. The website is at www.7thserpent.com.
Also, Congrats to aavenr for his work on the mod, I heard he just recently got a job offer at DICE!
