Time for some Anime / Manga …

It is kind of strange that this site is called “battleangel.org”, yet I never talk much about the Gunnm manga. Or any Manga for that matter. Or Anime. Well, I suppose I’m trying not to go overboard with this particular hobby of mine.
While browsing the great depths of the Net I found these exquisite Last [...]

Al-Sahhaf continued …

Rumours are flying around regarding the fate of the (former) Iraqi information minister Muhammed Saeed al-Sahhaf. Damned if I knew. All we DO know is that he is on “administrative leave”
The latest thing seems to be the talking Al-sahhaf action figure. Priceless. Soundclips are on their way …
In the meantime you can always [...]

PC Game Alert: X2 Wolverine’s Revenge

Izonews: X2 Wolverine’s Revenge
I have no idea if this is any good. The concept seems appealing though. Slashing your enemies to pieces sure draws my attention.

Local Webserver back up

At least I’m fairly sure this time. I had to activate UseCononicalName and force Apache to autodetect ip/dns settings.
Still looking into the possibility of setting up a standalone linux server with Apache out of old hardware as a way to host a REAL image gallery. All in all I haven’t been able to get any [...]

Where are all the good movies?

Not in theater right now, that’s for sure. I wonder why movies seem to work like a bottle of ketchup? First you get nothing, and then you shake it some more, still nothing, and then you get everything virtually at once. Hmm …
Lets just say that May looks packed with action in the form of [...]

Recap .. and GPRS thoughts …

Note: Finally got my mother a basic gsm cell phone. Siemens A50. No frills, but who needs them. Certainly not I. And it’s unlikely that she will either. I had to practically force this one on her for that matter. Oh well …
One of the advantages of the A50 is that the shell also holds [...]

Momentum

The air is thick with incense. Exams. They always get to you, no matter how many you do. Especially if you’ve been a real slacker for this term.
The good news is that I become a tad more numb every year. I wonder where it will end? It’s not the exams that are bothering me really. [...]

HTPC Front-ends: Media-Box, myHTPC or whatever ..

There aren’t really that many (free) HTPC frontends out there to choose from. And sadly Media-Box hasn’t seen any updates in quite some time. It’s too bad since it was a promising concept with a nice interface (not to mention the mediascraper utility).
Maybe myHTPC could do the job? It has been heavily updated over the [...]

Daily stupidity: Banal leechers

Or whatever I should call them. You know, the clueless people who are taking up DC time and precious bandwidth downloading stuff that is freely (and easily) available right under their noses. People who keep leeching Animatrix at 15 KB/s even though it is available from the Warner website with no strings attached and at [...]

UT2003 Beta Patch 2223

Whats the big deal? New UT2003 beta patches appear all the time. Well, the big change with v2.2.2.3 is that it includes a NoCD patch by default. This is very good news of course, not only for UT2003 players but for the entire scene as well. CD checks are a real nuisance that has been [...]
