Hardware developments

Ok. First off, I’m still haven’t gotten the new Aria system to work properly. The Epox mainboard is a real troublemaker in many ways. The most recent development is that I bought another harddrive (since I was short on one drive anyway), a SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.7 80GB for the setup and presto, I could install […]

BitTorrent Attacks

It seems that several torrent trackers, including Lokitorrent, and others, have been under attack from an unknown assailant. The DDoS attacks have effectively demonstrated the pitfall of centralized servers or trackers. Pathetic at best, this will only serve to galvanize those, like me, who run BitTorrent on a daily basis and have been doing so […]

Site transfer complete

Yes! That went smooth enough. A day’s worth of work more or less but it was well needed. I now have a database that works, a site with better uptime, stable FTP sessions and am no longer blacklisted with the anti-spam companies.

Half-Life 2 Again

Nice to see that Vengeance chose to release a proper ISO of the game.
I’ve played thru the game by now and I found it to be most fulfilling in its single player mode. The use of gravity and puzzles are often dazzling. The gravity gun is a really fun addition to the game also. However […]

Site Problems AGAIN

I don’t know what has been going on here. Supposedly it was a storage issue with the server and how mysql stores data on /tmp. I.e. something that I can’t fix as a user. Don’t know if the admins fixed it or if the system purged the device but everything seems to be working .. […]

Sid Meier’s Pirates!

Shiver me timbers! Pirates! is finally out. The revamped version of the original Pirates! that launched back in 1987.
Test your skills as a sea captain exploring the high seas and exotic ports in a richly detailed 3D world. Overtake the enemy and seize valuable booty. Exchange plank-shattering broadsides in fierce naval battles, and engage in […]

Site Divergence

After considering the development and future of battleangel.org I have come to a decision. Everything related to politics, most social science subjects and matters of intellectual property, i.e. not related to personal issues, will be moved, permanently. Battleangel.org will once again be a personal blog and important issues will receive a more fitting arena. And […]

MediaPC Conclusion

Finally got my replacement mainboard, an Epox 8KMM5i, for the mATX Media PC. About time. Hopefully everything should be set now and all my digital media woes will be over.
Let me just say that so far I’m extremely impressed with the Antec Aria case. Sure, it was expensive for its size, but the build quality […]

Dilbert Wisdom

Always worked for me.

Poland refuses EUCD

Thank god for the eastern expansion of the EU. The Polish government had the guts to say no thanks to the draconian legislation even though pressured by such prominent players as Sun, Novell, HP and Microsoft.
It it now more than likely that the EUCD (built upon the WIPO, built upon the DMCA or whatever) will […]
