This site has a nifty tweak which is located at Devnulled here. Apparently you can customize Firefox to load pages a little faster. I noticed quite a bit of a speed boost after I had loaded this in.

Well I just got myself a new Leadtek GeForce 6600GT video card, with the intent of running Doom 3 in Linux.

Verdict: AWESOME!!

The video card installed without a hitch (I'm running Slackware 9.1) and Doom3 loads up in true native Linux mode (no WineX or other emulation in the way) and is fully accelerated. Yay for id supporting Linux!!

/that is all

Xfire.com has this nifty instant messenger utility designed specifically for gamers.
What? Another IM program? Well, it's more than that, this is a server browser too. If you're familiar with All Seeing Eye, it works similar to the concept only with a boat load of more features.

I thought the handiest feature was being able to see message from within the game.
Go check it out.

grendel sez: But Steam does this for you!!~! Yeah, it's supposed to. Have you actually gotten it to work? No - this client actually works. It's even included in some of the latest patches and updates for your games. It's worth a look if you game much.

Sorry ladies, I am now officially off the market!

Tonight, Jennifer Hampton said yes to marry yours truly. I proposed in the old town square in Marshall, Texas under their "Wonderland of Lights" Christmas light celebration in the historic downtown.
My beautiful bride-to-be now sports a nice James Avery-crafted princess-cut, solitaire on an 18k white gold Tiffany band.

It was a very cold, windy night, but not long after we finished dinner at the classy Venue 105 bistro nearby, the sleet/rain slush froze up into a true snow before I popped the question. A steady pace of snow flurries were coming down as we took a stroll. Due to the weather, the town square, usually busy with visitors to the light show was quite empty and dead. It made the evening rather private and the snow and cold added to the Christmas mood. It didn't take long to get the ring on her finger once we got her gloves off!

That's all for now, I'll post some pics once I get my camera hooked up to a PC.

Some guys here at AMD decided to prank their coworker last night, and wrapped his cube with aluminum foil.

Here is the SomethingAwful thread I made. It has pictures of the job well done. It was an amazing thing to behold. I always saw these kind of things on the net, but it was truly a sight!
