We had a bit of downtime yesterday, it was a hardware difficulty, nothing wrong with the server, just a full disk drive (I believe this is the cause of the couple of recent munged .plan updates), I'm having it looked at today, since it seemed to be unnaturally full (it was pretty funny, a couple of readers wrote in saying "loony broke the server"). Speaking of the loonster, he cooked up the smiley icon that will show up in your URL bar and favorites list for this site under IE5, earning him another duty as "guy who figures out cool stuff."

Image of the Day: Here's a shot of a space station in X-Wing Alliance that may just be inspired by some other game (it's on the tip of my tongue). Thanks Mister Beefy, who sent that along a while ago.

Link of the Day: Company creates vending machine pizza. LAN parties may never be the same (or the Blue Tower for that matter). Thanks Steve. That's definitely the LoD, 'cause the The Furby Hooker Network that loony dug up while looking for Barney porn is too frightening.
