Half Life 2. 99%. Will it run this time?
Like the lazy bum that I am, I refused to reinstall HL2 from my CDs when I reinstalled the OS. I’m trying to make do with the installation I had earlier and a Steam update. The problem is that there is some graphics issue and HL2 says it won’t run on pre-DirectX 7 hardware. Which is rather strange because I have a perfectly fine 5900.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand a word of this, it probably only means that you have a life.

Blogicide!
Veera is threatening blogicide! No great loss, one would say; but still… it’s not a very pleasant thing, is it?
His chief complaint, as is mine, is that nobody seems to read the blog. Is it because our blogs are simply not interesting? Not quite true, I’ve seen much worse blogs getting a lot of hits and comments. But come to think about it, there simply isn’t anything in either of our blogs that would cause people to come back the next day or next week to check up on. For that matter there are very few blogs that I go back to read, the few that I do read regularly are of people I know personally.
Perhaps more regular updates would help, something like Windows patches?

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"
(American Idiot, Green Day Lyrics)
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
.
.
.

Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Grrrr.
Why, oh why, must people try to make money out of EVERYthing? I refer to the comment spam phenomenon, of course.

Even more on camera phones
This article says that there is software in the works that will allow camera phones to be used as scanners, and along with basic OCR functions will allow text capture. "3 to 5 seconds" to capture an A4 sized page.
