VICTORIAN FIRE DISASTER - VICTORIAN IPX MEMBERS REPORT IN!!!

This f**king sucks.. The only good I can see come from it, is in the aftermath the bush will thrive like never before, but it still doesn’t bring back the dead from this, absolute bullshit =(

Would all IPX members from Victoria please REPORT IN H E R E so we all know that you guys are alright..

Our hearts go with you, and out to those 65 who have been known to have perished so far, and the thousands of others now left homeless.

CURRENT DEATH TOLL: 210

HOMES DESTROYED: 2000

Good choice in my honest estimation

Oozaru, by his own words, is a player that like far too many in our community, gave the game up for ghost shortly after the ladder became unappealing to him.

I think that he will fit in well with IPX, and even perhaps contribute to our team in areas other than ETQW.

Overall, a level headed bloke, that i’ve had many a joke with since he came back, and is never too serious when it comes to the game.

Just like many of us, he’s in it for the fun,

hence,

Another Game?

So I assume there are already a proportion of Slashdot readers here but for those of you who aren’t a new cross platform, Open Source FPS has shown up on Slashdot in the past few days called bloodfrontier.

Linky link link: http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/bloodfrontier/index.php?title=Home

And on passing I also reminisced about this game, http://www.freecol.org/ – well it was one of the top 20 Sourceforge apps this month, any one interested in a night of colonisation, well freecol?

Electric Car hits Australia with sparks

http://www.theage.com.au/national/electric-car-on-the-way-20090129-7t5e....

160 kilometres on each charge

It can be recharged in a regular power point in about eight hours
or just 20 minutes in a dedicated higher voltage outlet

Ok so unless n0mad hooks you up with his Electrical Contacts most houses don’t have 3 phase power points
therefore the local sparks would be rubbing there hands together.

Top Speed ? (Any0ne able t0 find this ?)

Note: 2009 stock available to sum ;)
