    Tropical Storm Arlene Nears Gulf Coast

    Chris: Yeah, it's not bad. Keep in mind how far up into the state Starkville is, though. It's not very common for us to get anything from the coast.

    Tropical Storm Arlene Nears Gulf Coast

    I used to live in Victoria, back in '88. A friend of mine lives in Birmginham, Alabama. He texted me this morning when Arlene started pounding on central AL, saying, "Birmingham is on the way to destruction." I'm in Starkville, Mississippi. The only major thing we're getting right now with...

    OSes

    I've got XP Professional and Gentoo Linux dual-booting on my laptop, Debian on my Pentium II "server" and IRIX 6.5 on my SGI Indigo 2 (I win!) workstation.

    Finals, finals, it's the happiest time of the year!

    I've got three finals in a couple weeks. Formal Languages will be fun, with all its Turing Machine goodness. Intro to Software Engineering (the only graduate-level class with "Intro" tacked onto it that I know of) will be rough, but do-able. The only final that needs to burn is Data...

    Dekker in new commercial

    I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but Mark Dacascos (spel?) also plays the role of Chairman Kaga's nephew on Food Network's Iron Chef America. So, for those keeping up, we've seen: And then: And most recently: What a proud lineage...

    Kitties!

    I like the direction sleet is going. I adopted a little black-and-white alleycat that I named Nikita, and she has earned herself the title of Shoulderwalker. Anyone else have cats that walk on shoulders?

    Kilrathi Music

    Picking up where Mjr. Whoopass left off, I would imagine a civilization based primarily on conquest would have a whole slew of brass instruments by this stage in evolution. The horns we know and love these days were once used to signal and rally your troops and spook your enemies. I'm not sure...

    Tears For Fears

    I've seen that movie. Is it the same one where they put a speaker in some guy's head and yell "I AM GOD!" from the other room?

    Soup quality is restaurant quality.

    Soup is a more powerful force than any restaurant can handle. It is something only the most seasoned chef can prepare properly, and only his the confines of his kitchen can he perfect his/her soup.

    Wing Commander Saga Announcement

    Between deposits and rent for my apartment, tuition, food, computer repairs, gas, vehicle repairs, and the ever-important Coffee Fund... well, I'll just say I feel your pain.

    Other space combat sims: Tachyon: the Fringe

    Fair enough. Reading over what I typed last night, it doesn't sound as appealing (as a Wing Commander game) as it did when I wrote it up. Also, I've never played BC3k, so I wasn't aware of a similarity.

    Other space combat sims: Tachyon: the Fringe

    Micromanagement would be an interesting addition. To a game producer, my suggestion would likely be insane. I do not believe any company that produced a game like I'm about to describe would be able to reap a profit from it. This is purely hypothetical. Set in the beginning of the war with...

    Anyone not like the books?

    I had this massive multi-page response against sea_monkey's stance that I had written over a week. I was going to post it with external military references (including books from my ROTC days written by retired generals), Wing Commander references, and the like. Every time I opened up that text...
