Watched the movie Secretariat the other day on Starz. Wow! That was an amazing horse. No other horse has come close to that performance in over 35 years.
Recorded a clip of the final race for the triple crown. Just wow!
Did a lot of video compression to make this small, for easier viewing, about 15Meg size, so quality is a little low in some parts.
How often do you get to see the end of the movie first?

I've been using the "Giveaway of the day" site for quite some time and some goodies pop up often.
Today's offer is a good one. Highly praised DVD Fab program, regular $50, free today, if you download it within about the next 16 hours from the time of this post, and register it before the time expires.
Important: if you don't register it within time limit stated on the page, you'll only have a time-limited demo installed, instead of a registered version. Registration instructions always come with the downloads in a text file.

I'm looking for 16 players for a game that is a poor man's version of Stars! Why play a poor man's version? Well, it is different and variety is the spice of life. It's been around in various forms for about 15 years, but it is a custom game with a very small player base.
It is free. There is a java based (and web distributed) front end, although most of the complex commands are still done via text commands, and it helps to have some general computer skills.
the URL is http://www.dickieville.com/Dave/mhgc.htm
Please contact me at dave@dickieville.com if interested!
Thanks,
Dave

A neat online hacking simulation, can play with/against other people, or form a clan.

For those of you who dont know, a Nomic is a game where modifying the rules of the game is the primary activity of the game.
<blatant_plug>Nomicide is a Nomic run on Livejournal and new players are always welcome  </blatant_plug>
For the curious, there's also a Nomic Wiki and Agora, a nomic that has been active for 14 years(and you thought Stars! games were long).

Here's a link to a site that has the following premise:
| Quote: |
Lord of the Rings is more or less the foundation of modern D&D. The latter rose from the former, although the two are now so estranged that to reunite them would be an act of savage madness. Imagine a gaggle of modern hack-n-slash roleplayers who had somehow never been exposed to the original Tolkien mythos, and then imagine taking those players and trying to introduce them to Tolkien via a D&D campaign.
|
The author, Shamus, uses vidcaps from the LotR movies to create comic strips of the gamers/NPC/etc. as they move through the campaign. Very funny. Check it out at:

Hope it's not inapporiate to mention this release here, I was suggested also posting here from the FreeStars! section. I thought with all you being fans of Stars! it would intrest you.
After a massive amount of work, Thousand Parsec is proud to announce that the next version (0.2.0) of its primary client is now available.
There have been massive changes to the client's back end code and quite a few UI improvements. Some off the highlights are:
- Request Pipelineing. Faster downloads on fast connections and on connections with high ping times.
- Automatic Media Downloading. The client will now download the required media of the web.
- Animated Planet Graphics. There are now cool animated planet graphics and other graphics displayed in the information screen.
- Account Creation Support. You can now create an account on servers straight from the client.
- Design Support. You can now create ships, torpedoes or any other object that the server supports. Properties and requirements of designs are calculated locally using a Scheme based language called tpcl.
- Message Reference Support. Servers can now say that messages refer to certain objects and the GOTO button will take you to them.
- Better Caching. Better support for universe caching and only downloading what has changed.
This release also includes binaries for windows and binaries for Mac OS X ( http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/downloads.php#tpclient-pywx ). The binaries have the following requirements:
Windows
- Windows 98 or greater
- 50mb disk space
- 1024x768 screen or greater
Mac OS X
- Mac OS X 10.3.8 or higher, 10.4.1 or higher is preferred
- 200mb disk space
- 1024x768 screen or greater
There are also two permanent demonstration servers. The servers have the following properties:
demo1.thousandparsec.net
- 5 minute turns
- Restarted every day
- MiniSec rule set
demo2.thousandparsec.net
- 6 hour turns
- Restarted when somebody takes over 80% of the universe
- Partial MTSec rule set
Hope you all enjoy the

I see that Bode has taken some criticism for "admitting" he has taken part in races whilst still hungover.
Personally I think skiing is the best cure for a hangover there is and can't see what the problem is.
It certainly helps not to ski in a straight line, which is what most of us want anyway.

Bits Bytes Chips Clocks
Bits in bytes on chips in box.
Bytes with bits and chips with clocks.
Chips in box on ether-docks.
Chips with bits come. Chips with bytes come.
Chips with bits and bytes and clocks come.
Look, sir. Look, sir. read the book, sir.
Let's do tricks with bits and bytes, sir.
Let's do tricks with chips and clocks, sir.
First, I'll make a quick trick bit stack.
Then I'll make a quick trick byte stack.
You can make a quick trick chip stack.
You can make a quick trick clock stack.
And here's a new trick on the scene.
Bits in bytes for your machine.
Bytes in words to fill your screen.
Now we come to ticks and tocks, sir.
Try to say this by the clock, sir.
Clocks on chips tick.
Clocks on chips tock.
Eight byte bits tick.
Eight bit bytes tock.
Clocks on chips with eight bit bytes tick.
Chips with clocks and eight byte bits tock.
Here's an easy game to play.
Here's an easy thing to say....
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash,
then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gunna crash.
You can't say this? What a shame, sir!
We'll find you another game, sir.
If the label on the cable on the table at your house
says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
but your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
and your screen is all distorted by the side-effects of gauss,
so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gunna hang!
When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
