Well, game night was fun. We played some CS, WarCraft III, tried to play Jedi II (but we forgot CDs) and that’s about all I can remember. We got some pizza at some point and it was tasty.
Today, when putting my computer back upstairs I stepped on my keyboard on accident which facilitated my purchase of a new one this afternoon. It’s actually the same keyboard I’ve been borrowing to play games at Simpro. It’s the Logitech “Internet Navigator” which basically means it has a few useless buttons around the top that I’m sure I’ll never use. It’s also being a pain in the ass with my USB ports. It refuses to recognise itself and only appears as “Unknown USB device.” I’ve tried installing the drivers from Logitech about 30 times and no go. When I plug it into the PS2 port however, it works perfectly. Kind of disappointing considering I used the exact same keyboard, in a USB slot, last night and it worked fine. I’ll figure it out later.
I guess it’s dinner time. After that I think Die Hard is on TV, maybe I’ll watch that. Then I’ll just relax a bit and wait for Lauren to call tonight.
Later.

Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger…
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot!
Shakespeare — Henry V
Tonight, there shall be game. Huzah.

Just comes around,
This is the sound,
It’s time to get down”

Hindenburg seems to be back up. Thanks to whoever fixed it.

Fantastic… the first Service Pack for Windows XP is on its way. Now we get to play “authentication games” with Microsoft as everyone’s copy gets invalidated after the update. Allegedly this is the update that will break the anti-activation patches that everyone seems to be using. Thankfully, I have what I believe to be a activation-less OEM version. I could be wrong, but I guess we’ll have to wait for the update in order to find out.
And speaking of things soon to be released… its about time for another WinAmp 3 beta isn’t? What a surprise… here’s one now.
Also, for those that are interested, ThemeXP seems to be a good place to find XP themes, logons and boot screens. It seems a little more specialized than DeviantArt in terms of content and it’s a bit faster as well.
Oh, and for random game, software and customization news, check out NeoWin. It looks rather interesting and seems to be on the ball as far as interesting news is concerned.
Last but not least. A little something to laugh about… not only is Kazza rittled with yet another virus, but apparently so is GameSpy. In my opinion, if you’re silly enough to still be using Kazza, or heaven forbid your stupid enough to be using GameSpy, you kind of brought this on yourself. Stick with WinMX for your file sharing and The All Seeing Eye for your gaming servers. Not only do both programs connect to more servers than you could possibly ever need, both are rock solid, FREE, and don’t contain any ads.
Onto other topics… tomorrow there shall be computer gaming the likes of which no one has seen in… well… umm, at least a week! Game On!
Ok, it’s late. Sleepy time. G’Night.
