Review of Multi Theft Auto

YEa, other than the website, i don’t have much to say, it is REALLY fun…

Just Download the client, install, and you are ready to go..

Its still very buggy, we get random crashes, lots of lag, but it would rock for a land party…

Sweet, now anyone who has an account can use my server wherever they go.

I’m now using pop-before-smtp (and imap) so you can log into the imap server, then for the next…. i’m not sure how long,y ou can send email.. I think i’m going to use lucas’s c program, or possibly even write my own… Except i’d have to figure out alot.. so lucas’s sounds better..

Next up… Replacing Apache-perl with regular apache, making my config more optimal and not eat up so much ram.. heck i might even look into using apache2.

And thats it for my server update.

I’ve never had more fun watching tv and anime and such..

On another note, I’ve setup Roaming Profiles finally at home. Since its just me, and there are no other computer working with it yet (trying to dual boot my linux laptop to mess with it). But some day… yeaaaaaaaa :)

Next steps for me are to try and work on the mail server, make it a little cleaner, so i don’t have large ip access lists, lock it down with a user/password or something, and make the webserver alot more stable and less of a memory hog. i’ll probably kill mod_perl todo this, as its really not that big of deal.

And thats my update for now.. I really have to get back into this.

lets tell a story…

there once was a code monkey,
always working hard, doing work for others

then one day, he turned completly evil,
refused todo his work, went after people with plastic knives

so then he had to be taken care of in the most humane way possible.

The End

I have to say, initially I was impressed, Its not really my kind of anime, but it was still good. By the time i got to the second DVD, it was extreamly beh.

The lesbian (yuri) stuff was way overdone. Alot of subtle imagry and stuff, very deep, but DULL.

Devilman lady is about the .. idea of humans being unable to evolve except if they contain the latent ‘beast’ gene. Which turns them into some sort of super human monster.

Okay, i suck at writing reviews, it just is BLEH. The story lines are overdone. Monster comes in, monster gets defeated, story happeneds, repeat. New girl character comes in, gets hots for jun, the female lead, turns into a beast, gets killed, repeat…

It is the first anime i’ve regretted seeing, and especially spending $10 to rent… BAH

Interesting thing society has turned into, piracy, theif, murder, all becomeing so common, people just don’t seem to blink much anymore.

I was at a meeting a few days ago, before it started, people were talking about cracked copies of windows xp, and pirated versions of windows 2000. I’m not saying i’m pure and such, but about 95% of my software is licenced in some form or another, or freeware.. there is i think one peice of software that i have that isn’t owned by me, and thats because i don’t want the newer versions, i love this old version 2 (they are up to version 5 i think now).

Anyways, its really weird, we have people opening talking about, and bragging about the software that they pirated, being like “no worries, i’ll get you a copy tommorow”, thats including teachers in the room (he never said he had any of it, but still).

i donno, just seems odd, i remember when i was in grade 8, and a huge games pirator, and the first with a cd burner, it was all hush hush, now everyones talking about it, and doing it, etc.

And its not just with computer piracy, Movies, TV shows, comic books, all about master thieves, and people really enjoy reading it, heck, pirates are just theves with a cool background.

Its sad really, but i guess that could just be me

For those like myself, who use multiple servers and like to keep their nick name synchronized (IE /nick gali|work will set it to all servers)
alias nick { /scid -a /quote nick $1 }

For those who, again, like myself do multiple servers, and like to connect to them at startup, here’s a quick snippet for auto-connecting on startup.
the -i thing specifies the main and alt nicks
the -j specifies auto join channels

for the most part, I use mIRC’s groups and internal auto-join functionality for channels, but this is nice for servers.

on 1:startup:{ /servers }
alias servers {
.server irc.esper.net -i galimon halkeye -j #cooans_world
.server -m irc.choopa.net -i galimon halkeye -j #ranma
.server -m irc.lazynet.org -i galimon halkeye -j #livejournal
.server -m irc.mircx.com -i galimon halkeye -j #animex
}

My absolute biggest pet peeve as of lately, is the fact that every link seems to open in IE, doesn’t matter what browser is set to default. This hack allows you to specify any browser you want. except it only works on www and :// links (although easily expanded to ftp. and whatever else.. Irc. ones even)

on ^*:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*//*.*:*: { run C:\applications\MozillaFirebird\MozillaFirebird.exe $remove( $1,’) }
on ^*:hotlink:*www.*:*: { }
on *:hotlink:*www.*:*: { run C:\applications\MozillaFirebird\MozillaFirebird.exe $remove( $1,’) }

Chris also claims that this works in mIRC 6.01

edit mIRC.ini while its closed
browser=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firebird\MozillaFirebird.exe
in the [files] section

These two tidbits are nice when you get lots of dcc receives. The FILERCVD sets the path whenever you receive files. Its not necessary, but its nice for when you sort files based on file types (like default mIRC does i believe, at least with sound vs non-sound).
Then you just press f3 or anything else you change it to, and it opens the directory.

on *:FILERCVD:*.*:{ .set %lastdir $nofile($filename) }
alias f3 { echo -a 42 Opening Receive Dir 4 | run %lastdir }

And my most complex example. Ever get someone mention your nick or name or whatever, and you can’t find out where it was from? Or at least something like that.
I have my name, and nicks all highlighted through mIRC, and this code records all instance of it. So when i get back from work or school, i can quickly see if i was mentioned (yes, i guess this makes me look vain, but i wrote it long ago when i was doing server admining for channels)
Just setup mIRC to do highlighting any way you want, this handles the rest.

; Notify Window Stuff here
on 1:text:*:#:{ if ($highlight(. $+ $1-) != $null) { .window -g0lwz @highlight ; aline @highlight $chr(91) $+ $chan $+ $chr(93) $timestamp < $+ $nick $+ > $1- } }
on 1:text:*:?:{ if ($highlight(. $+ $1-) != $null) { .window -g0lwz @highlight ; aline @highlight $chr(91) $+ $nick $+ $chr(93) $timestamp < $+ $nick $+ > $1- } }
on 1:action:*:#:{ if ($highlight(. $+ $1-) != $null) { .window -g0lwz @highlight; aline @highlight $chr(91) $+ $chan $+ $chr(93) $timestamp < $+ $nick $+ > $1- } }
on 1:action:*:?:{ if ($highlight(. $+ $1-) != $null) { .window -g0lwz @highlight; aline @highlight $chr(91) $+ $nick $+ $chr(93) $timestamp < $+ $nick $+ > $1- } }

thanks alot to Chris for helping me out and giving me some of the tips today.

Yea, its about time that I finally got to this rant, its been bugging me for a Long time now.

I have a great tendency to focus my attention on the female population, not because I’m into hitting on girls, just that the girls seem to have the ability to get me and understand me a lot better than males do. Granted, as of late, there are more and more guys who I hang out with and understand, but still.

Anyways, back to the point at hand, I’ve found, for whatever reason, that a lot of people these days are making their girlfriends or boyfriends their entire life. It almost seems like you are hanging out with the SO instead of them.

Which pretty much turns me right off there from wanting anything more to to-do with them EVER.

Then we have the increasingly popular “I can’t do that ’cause my boyfriend wont’ let me”… Is it really up to them to let you do things? Sure they can find things uncomfortable, sure they should voice their opinion, but in the end, its your choice, even then “My boyfriend isn’t exactly comfortable with me doing that, how about something else?” is better than saying that they won’t let you.

Now that I’ve got repeatedly distracted, I really forgot the entire point of this rant. BUTTT, I do know its really annoying. People should live their lives first, then have a girlfriend/boyfriend, and most importantly, that its their lives, and not to live through someone else.

Now that I’ve said that, I shamefully admit I have, in the past, tried to live my life through other people, in fact sometimes i really enjoyed it, but controlling what you can and can’t do, say, or think, its beyond .. well stupid.. it makes you a vegetable, and vegetables are dull, boring, and annoying to hang out with.

That is all.

(Yes Yes, transcribed directly from my lj, so its not really that good, but its been 2 days now, and i havn’t felt like writing something better yet)

I guess now, i finally feel like the con is over. Even though i’m still wearing my AE2003 t-shirt, and my pass is still sitting on my desk, staring back at me, telling me i should go back for another day.

I really don’t know what to say, it was my first con experience, and i have to say, i absolutly loved it.
Probably moreso hanging out with the ubc people more than being at the con, but I still thoughally enjoyed the con…

After going to the Stargate SG-1 Panel, i so wished i went to more, but i had no idea what i wanted to see, still don’t.. He was an awsomly fun speaker.. and i asked about the cartoon, and found out that most of them had absolutly nothing todo with it.. which was awsome, i hate the new cartoon. And that there will be a spinoff series.. hopefully it will be good. I just wish I actually got channels that aired any of the shows (other than the cartoon :P)

I loved the auction at the end, I’m sure i was blushing alot when i was doing the bidding on robotech, i could feel my face get really hot, moreso than just the temperature in the room… eeep :)

But the auction was fun, loved all the VA’s.. well most of them, they made it fun… I was hoping for alot more for the closing ceramony though.. Guess it wasn’t really planned out.. Actually i was wishing for at least something.

Anyways, gonna post some stuff on halkeye.net as well as post links to the 50-75 pictures (As i got tired of trying to make the picture pages look like they fit with the rest of the website) I took during the weekend.. But as a sneak preview, some of my favorite

I just doubled my respect for gentoo tonight.

Since my fan is broken, i’ve been spending alot more time in the guest room where my laptop currently is, mainly due to the fact that its IS alot cooler than my room (without the fan, its 0 air flow) and ’cause the tv is here, which allows me to vedge out alot easier. Anyways, back to the point, since I’m in here alot more, and my laptop is setup here, I’ve been spending more time using gentoo (which from the computers page, you’d know runs gentoo), i’ve decided todo an update, it must have been months since I’ve done one.

While updating my use flags, I noticed there was one for nwn.. at first it was confusing, then I realized, it was for Never Winter Nights… Not only does it have the dedicated server as an ebuild, but it also has the client, and a hack to get the data files, which rocks.

While this computer is barely able to run the client, well at least when i first tried the windows client on here, it would rock as a simple InHouse-NWN dedicated server, with the possibility of opening the router up to allow incoming connections to those ports. (Side Note:Need to finish setting it up as a better firewall too)

That would be soo cool, i don’t know of anyone who would want to, or could come over to play on the server, but it would still be more fun than anything else.

Now only if they had a good movable type client for linux I’d be all set.
