I'm a muppetholic, I had fraggle rock birthday cake. But, by far the funniest thing ever was on the Daily Show with John Stewart, which is sooooo scripted, but this one part seemed to be genuine improv. John Stewart asked Miss Piggy a question (she was promoting muppets in the space) and she started to stutter on her answer, and John's face lit up for a second as he said, between laughs:
Got a frog in your throat?
hehe.
If tom green interview a muppet, I'm imagining a squirt gun filled with gasoline and Tom smoking a cigar...
The Annual Interactive Fiction Competition is now in its 5th year and each year there are more entries with 90% of them being either TADS or INFORM/Z-code, all Linux friendly formats. Too late to enter this year but the contest starts the 30th. See you there, with my crappy games. I'm rybread. www.ifarchive.org has gigs of interactive fiction stuff. Here, to get you started, last years Inform entries! Acid.z5 is mine. It's a big in-joke.
....and they take out my nifty comments. Oh, well. I thought this could be a blow to Caldera and there 49$ price tag that gets you the nifty Partion Maigc that is cooler than fips and your forced to pira^H^H^H^Hbuy it. attempts to get on slashdot via humor diary: http://www.digivill.net/~dayeight/linu x.html

More Star Wars Hype

It will be 12:01 here first!!!
On a darker note, I waited 3 hours for tickets, and my friend came by one hour after they started selling them and still got a 12:01 showing. Reverse sour grapes I guess. My local cinema will house EP1 on 3 screens.
70% of the reviews are all praise giving this game upper ninety percentiles and saying how its the greatest thing since linux^H^H^H^H^Hsliced bread.
10% Give it around 80-85% and staight that some units are really unbalanced. Those units are the same in all the reviews: Slaver, Evangalist and Ecoterrorist. From what I've read it sounds like they are a one unit zergling rush, they can destroy you early on, so you have to build the best defenses you can, but theres always a big chanche they won't be used. Reminds me of driving insurance...
20% of the reviews slightly to greatly bash the game, giving it a 40-60%. Mention some bugs, but nothing that sounds too bad, and I believe the patch is fixing most of them. Diplomacy is slammed, and Alpha C. is praised.
Those were for the windows versions. All linux pre/reviews have been pretty good, and it seems (looking above) they come from some serious CIV addicts.
Open looses out on this one...

May 19th? Hmmm...I think waiting in line for Star Wars tickets and downloading a new version of a un*x are pretty equal, but still....
Are those ratty voodoo 1 cards on pricewatch for 30$ worth it? Would it allow ~15 fps on quake3 or whatnot? I really want a 3dcard (just for the 3d tracert tool) but I don't got oodles of cash.
As for slashdot wierdness, let it give you the black screen, then click reload, wait and press escape before it finishes.
When I was four years old, I spent the summer in this tiny, itsy-bitsy house. It was near the ocean. WE lived there for three months. In the course of those three months, I went through 21 Yodas. I liked his size and muppetness, but the size made him very loseable for a little kid. He was just so darn cute, and his cape made him look so cool. And the snake staff. Yowzers. 21 Yodas. That's a helluvalot of Yoda.
I used it as an exscuse to finally get Running Linux, and save with shipping. Beats both amazon.com and local bookstore with state tax. Plus redhat 6.0 yippee
..about comic books. Scott McCloud's excellent _Understanding Comics_ also contains a history of art in general, and goes through the three things humans do. With cavemen. Good book, sure amazon or whatnot has it.
But this gives a near simutanois (i can't spell) broadcast, and the fast forwarding would be painless. Fastforwarding for short amounts of time on a normal VCR is almost not worth it for the speed-up to take effect and all that stuff.
I don't like ads for one reason: they make no sense. Now, I'm 18, so probably a main target, but most commercials make no sense to me at all. I understand David Lynch movies a lot more. Surrealism doesn't work well for ads, be it cargo jeans, soda or (shudder) the Gap.
No 3dcard, one frame per second sound crappy? Read

Play interactive fiction! Its thriving, makes you think, and it's sexy. Reading is sexy. 90% of games can be played under Linux using X-zip of TADS.
Read an article about this in some 'zine. There will be a thirty second skip button, and with 99.9% of all comercials being 30 seconds... well, the articles example was that if you have your vcr start "taping" ER, and you start watching it 17 minutes into it, you will be able to skip all the comercials and finish watching it within a minute of people who sat down for the whole hour. Still cool, but I'd rather have a dvd-recorder. And a T1. Heck, I'd settle for a voodoo2 so I can play quake. And as a side note, for those who can't play quake, check out interactive fiction, and the fifth year contest, at www.textfire.com

Using inform, a reversed engineered language that makes 100% infocom games, things are cool. That was a bad gramatical sentence.
Ok, enough envangilizing.

Just got it from here. Very nifty, a little hiss, me thinks. Don't like the voices, but the music is solid.
