Two more of my photos, pictured here, have been selected for publication by an outside party. Schmap.com, which provides electronic guides to different cities has selected my pictures as representative of some beaches in Tampa, Fl. (USA) As you can imagine, this is once again exciting for me both as a chance to become well-known as well as a recognition by others as a good photographer! I’m so excited!

Wall is a great command if you’re intent on getting notoriety/kicked off the box you’re on. It broadcasts a message to every terminal open for every logged on user. For this reason, it may be turned off on the computer you’re on. This means every xterm, gnome-terminal, etc and every one of the 6 VTs will get the message. Usage is:

wall “message to everyone”

If you really want to be annoying, type:

Sorry for the outage of the server - we had a power outage here last night. Everything should be back up now.

There is a new, war oriented opening movie that kicks butt! The opening screen no longer plays the happy Lion King-like theme, but a more ominous one. Instead of a nice happy world in the background to the main menu, we have an impatient looking warrior who likes to twirl his sword. Impressive!

Before I get to playing civ4: Warlods, I wanted to share my best high score ever in civ4. It was as the Eric-Chin IV of the Chinese. My final score was 7217 (the next one is 5699! as the japanese) and I finished in 1988 AD with a Domination victory in Chieftain difficulty. I might have finished earlier and had a higher score if I had realized I wouldn’t have my domination victory with the civs I was fighting. If only it had been a Warlords game, I’m pretty sure I could have had some vassal states which would have allowed me to have finished earlier! I can’t wait to buy, install, and play Warlords. To add this game to your hall of fame, just right-click the link below and click save as. Play my last round and it will record my score.
