There will be an informational meeting for all of us going to quakecon 2003 in an AIM Chatroom tonight around 11 or 12pm. Dan, whose AIM s/n is "Barkenchicken", or myself (Eclipse278) will be inviting people to the chatroom, so if you want to be involved, contact one of us. If you cannot make it to the meeting, I have created a page on my site where we can keep official information here. The link will also be made available on the "Recent Links" section to the left on the main page, and on the "Features" page. Here you can make sure we know you are coming and other important stuff to keep this organized for everyone. This year we really are going! We are going with or without you, so it's up to you guys to make sure you know what's up, and up to you guys to make sure we don't leave you behind. Talk to you all tonight.
This meeting was cancelled because Dan was sleepy :D

| CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the awesome! I dont know if anyone knew about a huge flaw in my site where if the browser window was at or below 800x600, all the text of the blog would be underneath the menu. This was due to a small error I had. It's been fixed now, and I understand CSS a little better. Now when you make the window smaller, the blog text will wrap to the edge of the browser within reason (in IE) or go nowhere (mozilla). Most of you probably had no idea it was a problem, or even what I am talking about, but don't worry! It's fixed! |

Why Computer Crash? So at the codex lan my computer would crash non-stop in any game. Its been like this for a while now, off and on. It crashes in every game, and every once and a while in Windows it just reboots. At tim's lan I took out a stick of 256mb ddr RAM from my computer and it was instantly fixed for about a week. I traded my Radeon 8500 for codex's Geforce4 MX 440. These cards are about the same, though i got better frames in Q3 with the Radeon, and better frames in RtCW:ET with the Geforce. So I went home after the LAN and tore my computer completely apart. Every thing I could take apart was taken apart. I even ripped the CPU Heatsink apart and I cleaned it all. I also used a lot of tape and creativity to hide some of the extra wires to improve airflow, though i dont think heat was a problem. This took most of the day, and it was a little boring, but I haven't built a computer in so long it was a little fun. Also, I put my Sound Blaster Audigy back in, no use in having it sitting on the desk anymore. So far, its been much better, all the unusual sounds are gone and its been perfectly stable. If it messes up again, you can bet you'll hear from me again. I'll leave you off with the specs of my computer then:

Had to start the day off with Six Flags training. I'm trying to get a job as a ride operator there. I couldn't go to sleep the night before so I was really tired. So the only thing that got me through that was knowing I was going to go to the Whempys LAN in Columbus afterwards. Well, we all drove down in Tim's car and after the hour long trip there were like 30 people there. We didn't want to pay $15 for a 30 person LAN for only 8 hours or so. We went to Wendys to decide to go or stay. We left, so the trip consisted basically of driving 200 miles to go to Wendys. It was some damn good Wendys though.
