Hard drive failure again?

The 180GXP unit is NOT playing nice. I will have to check cabling etc. because something is definately wrong here. While performance isn’t affected, it does give off some horrid sounds now and then. Like a revving electrical engine or a rotary coil with broken bearings or something. This is also accompanied by the occasional […]

Statistics: Top 10 Total Search Strings

As you have probably noticed, there is a link to the Usage Statistics for battleangel.f2o.org to the left. It’s quite fun to look at from time to time. Not so much as to brag about how many hits this page has got but rather HOW people find their way here. Among other things, the statistics […]

Destination: Cyborg

Destination: Cyborg George Dvorsky on why we should welcome our cybernetic future.
And this is just the embryonic stage of a much larger trend: Our future will be inexorably tied to the Cyber Realm. There is little doubt that the human species will evolve into cyborgs. As engineer and futurologist Bart Kosko has aptly proclaimed, “Biology […]

Bowling for Columbine

Mini review: Bowling for Columbine (2002)
I finally got a chance to see it. Wow, I’m speechless and quite frankly don’t know where to begin. If you’re familiar with Michael Moore you will probably have seen some kind of angle on this stuff before, but this time the perspective is a bit wider and I’d like […]

World “piracy” …

This is really cute. MSNBC has got a page up covering the International statistics on piracy.

Call it what you will but they call it piracy. I call it freedom of information. And I’m appalled that Sweden only mustered 35%! Come on .. we can do better than that!

Fortean Times: Argentinean cattle mutilations

(Ongoing story …) RETURN OF THE MOOTILATORS. Nice one. Yeah, go right ahead, blame the mice. I’m still betting on a gourmet chef with a medical degree

Splinter Cell (PC)

I downloaded and played around with the (first) demo of Splinter Cell. I must say I’m impressed with the details but unless they include a skirmish / multiplayer mode I probably wont bother.
This is just not my cup of tea. Sneaking around corners, trying to avoid alarm systems just makes me wanna take out the […]

To all you people out there …

.. who run Battlefield/RTR servers that check for valid CD keys, I have only one thing to say: Fuck you and I hope you burn in hell, if there is such a place. If there isn’t (and I’m fairly sure of this) I will invent one just for you.
Patch up your servers NOW and stop […]

Site update: Gallery

I had to remove the script once again. The uploading has been erratic to say the least and when I checked up on the gallery section last week it had a truck load of broken links and missing folders. Folders that once worked I might add. Also, it was a drag having to host local […]

In other news …

It has been a pretty slow week. I’ve been getting quite a lot of new music but on the gaming side there isn’t much left. I’ve played all the major (according to me) releases this year, i.e. Sim City 4, Unreal 2, C&C Generals and Road To Rome.
Out of these four I’m quite disappointed with […]
