February 2003

Yey-ah! Vacation for ONE WHOLE WEEK! The time for pure, undisturbed DX-mapping is nigh!

In other news, I'm planning on upgrading my system (which at the time of this writing is an AMD Duron 850 MHz with 256 MB SDRAM). I'm going to buy an Intel P4 2.4, 512 MB DDR RAM and a new motherboard (haven't decided specs or brand yet).

I've also got some elma updates:

  • 13. Hill Legend: 00:21:95 - 00:21:59
  • 24. Ramp Frenzy: 01:37:65 - 01:25:63
  • 27. Shelf Life: 00:57:73 - 00:55:70
  • 35. Labyrinth Pro: 04:36:88 - 04:32:24
  • 37. Jaws: 01:40:59 - 01:36:27

Random rant: Why, oh why do I see Comic Sans MS almost everywhere I turn? What do people see in it? Are they simply too lazy to browse through fonts? Probably. Gah, Comic Sans MS sucks...

Damn, System Shock 2 is scary! I beat the game about a year ago, and now I'm playing through it my second time. It still gives me the creeps... To all of you who still haven't tried it. Try it! I dare you!

Improved some records in elma:

  • 05. Uphill Battle: 00:28:59 - 00:28:25
  • 22. Slalom: 00:50:45 - 00:47:90
  • 32. Steep Corner: 00:48:44 - 00:47:82
  • 42. Enduro: 01:22:00 - 01:04:86
  • 44. Freefall: 00:38:40 - 00:36:65
  • 51. Tricks Abound: --:--:-- - 02:00:96
  • 53. Hooked: 00:25:40 - 00:19:17

Additionally, I've added the .rec files for my Elma records to the Files page. (Files page is gone.) Extract them to your elma rec folder, go into the game, and hit the replay button. Bah, why explain it? :)

A friend of mine asked me to host a document of his, describing how he became a Christian. Note that his view does not in any way represent my own view on the matter, but he has been my friend for about 15 (!) years now so hosting this little document is the least I can do. The file is located in the Files section. The document is in Norwegian. (Scrap that. I later realized that I didn't want the document there anymore because his views completely differ from my own.)

I've made an ASCII table today. (Now obsolete.) Maybe not the most interesting thing for most people, but maybe some can use it as a reference. I made it in MS Excel, and used the Terminal font, therefore only a few of the high ASCII characters display properly. If anyone knows of a "true ASCII" font of some kind, I would really appreciate it if you'd mail me, either attaching the font, or telling me where I might download it. Thanks in advance.

I noticed two major flaws; I didn't tell you my real name and my nick name, and I forgot to mention what a good host I have hosting my site. Thanks a lot, http://www.dataportalen.com/!

I also added links to each question and answer in the summary section of the About me page, and updated the links page a bit.
