Friday, August 02, 2002 I have added a "feature" to my website called NONOBADSTORY! It's a highly experimental kinda thing, but if you like to write you can read all about what it is and participate if you'd like. So far it's just me and a friend adding to it, it'd be nice if some other brave souls out there would join up, especially those of you (I know you're out there, I get referrals) who already use blogger.com.

Oooh ooh ooh! New version of WineX is out and it supposedly works with stuff like Warcraft III and Black & White and Civilization III! And they also list Ultima Online as working too! <trembles with glee> Only problem is I am poor and my computer sucks (well my video card sucks, actually I don't have a video *card* I have a video *chip*) so it wouldn't work on my computer. I'm halfway tempted to try it anyway, it's only $5/month for a Transgaming membership. If they get Roller Coaster Tycoon and Pharaoh working, and assuming UO actually works, then I could dump Windows! Yay!

Thursday, August 01, 2002 I planted 6 more seeds today in UO! I am obsessed with virtual plants!  All Ultima Online screenshots © Electronic Arts/Origin Systems, Inc. And here is a picture of the first plant I grew, on its status screen (which is what I've been showing in the other plant pictures) and what it looks like in my backpack. Isn't it *cute*? And it makes pollen now too! Only I don't have any other plants to cross pollinate it to. So now I am growing 6 plants so I can cross pollinate them when they're all grown up, and maybe I will get a mutant plant!

Tuesday, July 30, 2002 I booted my computer today, or should I say I tried to. Everything went fine up until the ugly Windows ME splash screen, which didn't appear, only a blank black screen did. Now, I don't have a "normal" Windows setup on my computer, I have a dual boot of Windows ME and Linux Mandrake 8.1. I don't use the Windows boot loader because it's slow and a piece of erm ... poo. I use LILO to load the boot sector(s). LILO works flawlessly everytime unless Windows has exerted its control and overwritten the boot sector because it has "detected a problem", that problem being of course that there is another operating system on the computer besides Windows.

Monday, July 29, 2002 "Utah's Independent Voice Since 1871" will soon be silenced. Free speech will soon be censored. For those of you who are not aware, in Utah, the influence of the Mormon church (formally known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is very pervasive. Up until now, there were two major newspapers in Salt Lake City: The Salt Lake Tribune and the church owned Deseret News. The former provided a much-needed balance of the news media for the largely non-Mormon population of Salt Lake City. Beginning August 1, 2002, they will both be church owned. The Mormon church doesn't like their members reading anything that is not faith-promoting, so it is very likely the news in the Tribune will be biased toward a Mormon audience, that stories that don't show the church in a positive light will not be printed, and that public opinion opposing the views of the church will not be published. This is good for the Mormon church, since they will have virtual total control over information in Salt Lake City and largely Utah as well. Whatever happened to freedom of the press? Or separation of church and state? I think these events in Utah set a precedent and to me it's a frightening one if it's allowed to go through. I just hope other churches don't get the same idea ....

Sunday, July 28, 2002 I love UO ... (can ya tell I've been playing a LOT lately? I'm makin' up for all those months I haven't had time to play cuz of work and/or school.) Anyway, I spent about an hour in UO today killin' stuff with my little beggar ... got his title from Fair to Respectable (I don't think I've ever been respectable before, I'm usually on the dark side of the karma scale with my characters <grin>) then went to town to bank my loot (and plant seeds! I got plant seeds from killing boglings!) then went to the inn to log out, but decided to beg a couple times ... and ... "You have lost a good amount of karma." Hehe. An hour's worth of monster killin' wiped out in 2 clicks of a macro. Oh, well, soon I will have not need of begging for I shall be a l33+ Gr4nDm45t3r b3gg4r d00d!!!1! Then I can start workin' on GM camping ....
