Month: May 2003

Well, free as in beer anyway. This is amazing news. RTCW was an awesome game I must say. Now they’ve gone and made RTCW: Enemy Territory, a multiplayer only game (I think) and released it out for FREE to the general public for consumption. :D

Nice. Happy Fragging.

And the Kalam week continues. First the cool book which, I hope, Ignited my mind and now this. He is a smart man. Advocating Free Software over Microsoft’s products. He also apparently gave a speech to IIIT, which to people over here sounds no different from IIT, and they assumed it’s of MIT caliber. Now, that’s sad.

But the real story, the fact that people in power have insight into such techy things, is very very cool. Proud I be.

erm bags. People here don’t know / don’t like using the word cover. They need to use ‘bag’ exclusively, for everything, except bags, which become rucksacks?

Anyway, took a trip to central to find the camera store and my a suitable case for my camera. So much for all that research into what I really wanted. 1. They didn’t have it. 2. They didn’t know what would fit my camera, because they don’t deal with Olympus, rats. Picked up a decent looking one anyway, just hope it fits all that I want it to fit :P.

I posted the links to my artwork on Linkin Park’s forum and the responses so far seem to be very positive.

Wickedly Sweet :D (or whatever the local term is)

From being an insane addict, I have managed to remain sober for about a year. Gaming I mean. Mostly this is due to having a non gaming-friendly laptop, but other reasons like trying to get a life, and work also had their part play.

All that is about to change soon enough I suppose. It has to, I mean, Doom 3, Homeworld 2, Half-Life 2, The Longest Journey – 2 and so on.. not to mention Ati Radeon 9800 pro and the Geforce FX along with the hyperthreaded P4 3+ GHz machines. Drool.

I need to build a machine soon, just have to. Need to build a monster and buy bandwidth, if I have to, and hurt my wrists, eyes, and brain all over. How fun is that? :D

Also been eyeing the Gamecube. Either I get both, or just the computer. Just have to.

Ahh the joys of ripping newly bought music.

Became a member of two music “clubs” which resulted in me getting some new stuff this weekend. Now I can’t, obviously, carry the discs around to listen to them everywhere so slowly ogg vorbisified them using cdex to my laptop.

That, and real food, marked a fun weekend. Also realized how cool a show Gary and Mike is, after watching many back to back episodes on Comedy Central.

Worked on the Linkin Park art some more and uploaded two seemingly decent pictures onto the artwork page.
Now that this is over (hopefully, for now at least) , I need to get back to some “real life” issues. Real work needs to be done.

All that new music isn’t going to help the cause, or is it :?:

Life goes on. 3-4 weeks of German completed. Working on my first publication. Working on a b2 powered blog. Two new pictures added to the artwork page :).

Overdose of dew, loud guests, people with breathing “problems” around all add up to a night of lost sleep. I need sleep damnit. :?

Even listening to the Masterplan didn’t help. This is serious.

Dogs. Damn, greedy, dogs. That’s one of the reasons (besides my inherent stupidity) I lost NINETY dollars a day or so ago. UN-Registration fees, bah.

I’ve been nominated (forcibly volunteered ;)) to go to MIT for presenting a paper. Now, as exciting as that may sound, I can’t begin to describe how scared I am right now. Very, very scared.
