More Unreal Tournament

I have completed the second-stage install utility, but at present it is no more reliable than the Loki installer, so it can remain on my hard drive for the time being until I can tweak it to a higher standard. However, I have modified a script I wrote that the installer depends on. This script alone can make the task of installing Unreal Tournament on Linux a lot simpler. See the new Linux section of LoweyPages for more information.

In a fit of procrastination I also updated the navigation bar in LoweyPage and tidied it up a bit. Various updates for both the blog and LoweyPages are planned, as is a move to a different server where I'm not going to have an axe hanging over my head every time I speak out about the University in some way.

Liz pointed out that putting the real name of the woman from the Accommodation Office in my previous blog was a bad idea, Burt pointed out that having a link to the disclaimer on the blog as well as LoweyPages was a good idea, so I've also implemented both of those ideas. However I still feel that my right to free speach is being hindered somewhat by using the Aberystwyth servers. A move to my nic-nac-project webspace may be in order, except that I am worried it will be slow. What I will likely do is set up some kind of automatic-mirroring system where-by I will continue to make updates on this server and they will propogate to the other server (or servers, if I try more) in order to allow a trial period before I finally make a choice and move to one server or another.

One of the llamasofties emailed me and asked if I have any plans on making links in my blog open in a new window... Apparently it can be confusing as most blogs, presumably, open links in new windows. My personal view on links that open in a new window is that they are extremely irritating, as there is never a choice involved. If I wanted them to open in a new window then I would right-click and select "Open in new window". However my decision is undermined when the designers force this upon me as a user. That is why links on the blog do NOT open in new windows.

However, that said, I aim to please. When I get a chance I will implement some sort of handy dandy feature that will you, the user, to choose whether you want your links to open in the same window or a new window. When I get a chance.

Drunken Frivolities

Off to see Burt and nermal for some drinks in a bit, which should offer me some photo opportunities. A good chance to get comfortable with the camera and its many features.

I've made some dinner as I was getting very shaky earlier, but I just don't seem to want to eat. I'm not sure what's going on with me at the moment, I've been eating very erratically for the last few days. I'll eat nothing for half the day and then suddenly realise I need to eat SOMETHING, and so will then cram far too much food down my throat and leave myself feeling sick for the rest of the day.

Ah well, it must be the weather or something.
