Well, it’s exciting for me… I actually might get the chance to have a game with you guys at some stage.

Unfortunately they’ve chosen a closed beta for Linux, rather than an open one. – who knows why. But it seems that if I fork out the cash I’ll be able to pick up a Linux-ised copy sometime in October or November.

I had my first experience with the new file format from Microsoft’s latest Office series. Surprise surprise, it doesn’t work in anything else. Since I detest Office 2007 for its form and price tag, I went looking for a converter. http://www.docx2doc.com/ sprang up as an online option, claiming to be fast and easy. After a few seconds you’ll notice that there’s a price attached – literally there is a US$5 fee for the conversion. Even more than that, check who is behind this software.

Go on, check….

From The Age today:

The basic requirement of the stealthy night-time burglar is the ability to stay awake. A suspected Norwegian burglar failed the test and has ended up in jail.

I guess we suspect that he is Norwegian because of his lack of competence?

We have migrated from ServersAustralia to xHost… are we still alive? Too early to tell.

Edit: Looks like we are!

Howdy,

it’s been a while, but I’ve finally managed to get more than 5 minutes time on the net!
I’m currently in Townsville for a wedding, but I’ve managed to have a quick look at the new site and I gotta say – I’m impressed! Even though it’s still a work in progress, it’s coming along really well. You should all be proud of yourselves!
I’ll hopefully be able to get back into the swing of things after the Europe trip next month. Get a new laptop, move into the new place, get connected and GAME ON!

Keep up the great work.
Cheers,
