Kodiak was selling his Athlon XP2000+ with 512mb RAM and GeForce4 Ti4200 64mb RAM, so I bought it off him for my AMD 900MHz with 256mb RAM and onboard video and NZ$800. No HDDs involved in the deal, but he threw in Unreal Tournament 2003 and Serious Sam 2. Nice deal huh? It’s my first real decent vidcard. Pity I don’t have any hard drive space to install UT2k3… I’m gonna need about 3GBs… time for a new drive methinks

Yes, extremely lame joke. Smileychris will be proud
Baroque Cycle
Friday, May 9th, 2003Neal Town Stephenson has opened the site advertising his new series of books The Baroque Cycle. There is a excerpt from Quicksilver, due out in September 2003. It would seem that he’s bringing the ancestors of Waterhouse, Shaftoe and Enoch from Cryptonomicon back for another shot. Frankly, I can’t wait. It’s on my Amazon wishlist!
BTW, Webfroot will be back up within a week, if all things go right
Webfroot down
Thursday, May 8th, 2003I’m working on the new Webfroot site. This’ll be the 3rd revision I’ve done since it’s first inception in mid 2001. Not dropping any hints on what will be new, but be rest assured, we will still provide the same level of news reporting you know and love.
