I’m a little in awe that this has happened, seeing as how it affects one of the greatest basic wargames I’ve ever played, one of the greatest board games ever devised, and something that had been pulled from mass production for while - a game I had never expected to see again in print.
I was [...]

After a rather lengthy process and an attempt at calling an associate to fill a vacancy that has been hanging over people here at Faith for over two years, Reverend Peter Hoft of Good Shepherd in Collinsville, Illinois has decided to decline the call this congregation had issued him.
Fast rejection - the call was issued [...]

Everything on the right-hand side of the site has gone a little wonky; they’ve changed the way WordPress operates in heading towards a multi-blog type of setup, and I’m testing the nightlies as a member of the documentation team responsible for telling people how to operate WordPress - I usually end up doing a fair [...]

I’m just trying to make sure that the new version of ecto and the new nightly of WordPress work well together.
Nothing else special going on in this post.

There’s an interesting development in the beta for World of Warcraft, which I think it pretty much the solution MMO’s need in order to not lose the interest of casual players (like myself).
It’s called the “rest state.”
Basically, what it does is that it gives those people who are not logged in for long stretches of [...]

1947 - Jackie Robinson breaks the color barrier in baseball.

Now that it has a nice, easily-remembered URL, I suggest that everyone visit this site at least once in their Internet lives:
Mr. T vs. Everything
This is one of those Internet jokes that simply will never die. It’s stupid, it makes little sense, and it’s often hostily thrown together and doesn’t look at all professional, [...]

Well, it never fails - ask anyone, and they’ll tell you that Apple product cycle updates are always scheduled for the month after you buy one.
PowerBook G4 and iMac updates are rumored to be announced next week, after Apple announced a new set of eMacs today. Power Mac updates are also expected in the [...]

I have been playing a lot of iConquer lately, and it only has a seven-day trial period, with some added bonuses for registering your copy and getting it fired up for network play.
iConquer is pretty much a Risk clone, with the ability to take plug-ins of extra maps and such, and, of course, network support [...]

WordPress just closed an ordered list tag I left open without me having to do anything.
Nice.

What does party mean to you? (I.e. when you go and get your party on, what does that mean?)
Party doesn’t mean a whole lot to me - never been my sort of thing. For me, a party in college was having half the dorm floor in my room playing Mario Kart or Tetris 64 [...]

The Killer List of Videogames
The KLOV is home to detailed information about more arcade video games than you ever hoped had existed. It’s a source of fun, a research tool, and pretty much just a really neat place to look up information on that one game you once played that had that one guy [...]

As always, courtesy of Wikipedia:
On this date in:
1828 - Noah Webster copyrights the first edition of his dictionary. The first speech quoting it in the first paragraph is made not long after.
1910 - President Taft throws out the first first pitch for an opening day baseball game.
1912 - The RMS Titanic smacks into an [...]

Check this out.
Now, I know the school’s hurting for money, and they need a reason to exist at this point, and they don’t have the kind of community support that, say Mequon does, but I think this is going just a little far for my tastes.
First, I can’t believe that they would make any serious [...]

I just got an e-mail back from the WordPress team (wow, was that fast!) confirming that there’s a break with ecto’s compatibility, and that they will be checking it out in the nightly builds to see what’s caused it. Good thing - I thought I was just insane, because I couldn’t find any reports [...]

I was hoping that I’d be able to use ecto to edit my blog, but one of the things I’ve grown to be used to with WordPress (even though templating is much easier and it has several options I really like - including not using static pages) is that it doesn’t work well with a [...]

To copy a DVD that I’ve made in iDVD after I’ve already deleted the source material and DVD project files:nn
Insert the master DVD.
Fire up Disk Utility.
Select the DVD in the Source menu.
Click the New Image button in the Toolbar.
In the dialogue sheet that follows, name the disc, select “CD/DVD Master” from the type list, and [...]

I know I never got around to posting the thing for you, Ken, but I’ll get on it as soon as I can.
I ordered me up one Bluetooth-enabled mouse this weekend; as much as I love my laptop, I’m not a huge fan of trackpads, and so while I’m at my desk, I prefer to [...]

Blizzard has saved me three applications that I would otherwise have had to buy a second time to install on my Mac:
Starcraft, Diablo II, an d Warcraft III all came on hybrid CD-ROMs - Mac versions included. And Blizzard even re-wrote the actual game applications for the games they made pre-OS X in a [...]

As I live and breathe, I am typing this entry on my brand spankin’ new PowerBook 17.
It’s so beautiful…
*cry*
*sniff*
And I’m quickly liking Mac OS X - just like I figured I would - especially since I downloaded 10.3.3, which made my book start up in about 20% of the time is took yesterday. And [...]
