thoughts

the internet is truly a wondrous place, a place where you can find all sorts of things and all sorts of people. including childish ones. here i was, playing operation clean sweep as USMC. things haven’t looked good for the team all night, so it wouldn’t hurt to try new things. grabbed a free…

wanna have a private nwn party but can’t afford to buy more copies of nwn, sou, or hotu? already running your own linux server? accidentally upgraded to 1.66 and have no way of turning back? [edited] i originally wanted to put in the exact solution to this scenario, but i don’t want to be…

sigh. i have just finished reading psychic academy. despite the major fanservice, the storyline becomes very philosophical, and gives you some thought into what life might really be. i feel sad. so sad that my tummy aches. i guess i have a high emo factor, being easily moved by fiction. it reminds me of…

i just realised that i haven’t blogrolled in a while. it’s no wonder my tagboard/comments section are stagnant. i may soon be changing the theme of this site. make it more battlefield like. but that is if i pull myself away from the game itself. nwn server is back online. for a while. waiting…

so much for the bf2 server idea. i might just keep one up for practice sessions, but the player limit’ll be greatly reduced, and it won’t be published on the server list. instead, i’m now looking into windows managers for freebsd. i’ve just finished installing gnome, which is supposed to be a pretty nice…

sorry to all who’ve been wondering why this site was down for so long. after the upgrade, i didn’t quite check whether my dns server was running properly. in the end, no one could get to the website, altho mail and BF2 was ok. 😛 oh well… sorry again. read below for the entries…

BF2 server is up! Look for us on the server list or GameSpy Arcade (keyword bangsar). Only those who didn’t upgrade to 1.01 will be able to connect though. This will be the case till EA releases a patch… for the patch. bah.

boo. BF2 is released with a horrific server browser. yay. EA/Dice releases 1.01 patch to fix it. boo. EA/Dice revokes 1.01 patch due to absurd memory leaks. boo. no clue as to how to sign up as a ranked server. btw, since we’re in the upgrading season, i’ve just upgraded bangsar.net’s machine to FreeBSD…

2/7/2005. 1st saturday of the month. a non-working saturday. but where was i 7 hours that day? at the office… *sigh* it was supposed to be a disaster recovery test. things were going smoothly till my assistant accidentally ran a loan program which defaulted about 900 company loans. woo hoo we had some exciting…

Neverwinter Nights (NWN) official campaigns (OC) are now officially finished. i loved the plot twists in underdark, and i’m itching to try out the premium modules. don’t have the funds for it yet though. moving on, i’ve gotta think about how to create a richer NWN experience. besides the multiplayer party of 3, there…
