Happy Fat Tuesday!

As noted on planet rome.ro, yesterday was the anniversary of the release of QTest (actually I think it was the 24th, but close enough for video games). Unbelievably, the multiplayer test for Quake was released (wait for it...) 10 years ago! Equally unbelievably this was covered here at the time (to my regret lots of older content here was deleted rather than archived). Where does the time go?

R.I.P.: WW II fighter ace Scott dies at 97.

Just couldn't bring myself to do the file-swap.com on my work computer.... just not man enough. Uploaded: a txt file with redrum pasted a few hundred times. Downloaded: a picture of Bush and Putin getting into an old Russian car.
