  1. game discussion sites on G-Spy - A Gaming Meta News Site · · Score: 3, Informative

    a few other good sites include: games.ars, gamegirl advance, games.design.art.culture, got game?, how they got game, ludology, or for regular gaming news, the friendlier ones are bluesnews, gamespy, games are fun and shacknews. where do you go?

  2. Re:Dreamhost on Finding Decent Unix Server Hosting? · · Score: 1

    I'm another very satisfied dreamhost client. fast and friendly. cheap and intelligent. doesnt get any better.

  3. leveraging bookmarks on Most Usable Bookmark Managers? · · Score: 1

    blogs are great for pointing to sources, but lack the timeless quality.

    bookmarks are more suited to these, resources. these sites of permanent use and interest.

    we need a way to leverage the personal databases that are bookmark files, into a format along the lines of dmoz.

    ie: googling only your own (sub)tree of bookmarks for results.
    -so you can keyword search only, and all, the sites in your "blog" bookmark folder at once.

    and even better: googling the bookmarks of the people that you have bookmarked.
    -so you can keyword seach for "coffee", restricting the results to sites found in your bookmarks file, and in zeldman's/cowboyneal's/your father's/your bosses' bookmark files.

    the major hurdle is who organises it. google is the obvious answer. but maybe starting small, with say a movabletype plugin, or mozilla plugin, would be the way to go.

    summary: a personalized dmoz using a (2?)-degree trust web. sharable bookmarks.

  4. Re:User of the word boxen on Monitoring Your Unix Boxen? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I tend towards pedantic nitpickering on the occasion also, but it's good to bare in mind that playing [to destruction!] with language is both edumacational and amusin'.

    i like "boxen" for the same intriguing subcultural contexts as i like "w00t" and "geek".

    remain happily hypocritical :)

    reality keeps interfering with my plans for world domination.

    looks like we're still an integration of all the required variables away. close though. 1 year maybe. (ignoring that this still includes no tilt sensing, and no force feedback. ahem)
    well, we still don't have pc's capable of playing unreal within the myst world. so...

  9. rotating couch in stairway?? on Network Aware Screensavers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    why oh why does this not exist yet? I've been scouring the net for years, the Douglas's immovable sofa is nowhere to be found.

  11. Re:Door on Entertainment Center Cooling? · · Score: 1

    > I could use doors on the bookcases too, but I think I'll give up and move all the low shelf books upstairs for a while.

    nonono! you make sure there are Lots of books within reach of children, and Encourage them to read. Obviously collectibles and such can be moved out of reach, but the lower shelves should end up FILLED with kids books (for You AND the Proto-human)

    in the words of Walt Whitman, "I contradict myself? Very well, I contradict myself. I contain multitudes."

  15. even more extreme... on Behold the Lizardman · · Score: 1
    Spidergod5 may well deserve some curiosity (or correspondance if you're a fellow juggler), however if you really want to point-laugh-and-gag, the things you're going to be looking for are at BME. (caution, extremely disgusting photos can be found here)
    They include things like surgical alteration, nullification, and extreme tattoos, though if you want really hardcore wierdness, you're going to have to go to BME/Hardcore.
