More praise for GamesCon, this time in a debriefing in Pat "CodeKing" Lipo's .plan, he mentions the lounge singer mpeg I said I may post... the video turned out too dark, but maybe I'll excerpt a bit in an .mp3. Hmm, would I need his permission to do that? I want to throw out one of my occasional heartfelt thank yous to Wouter 'JinXter' Teeninga, who diligently corrects every typo I make (which can add up), right down to double spaces between words (and English is his second language, no less). Thanks JinXter, I don't know how you do it.

Link of the Day: CNET News.com - Windows may crash after 49.7 days (thanks Ant) which says that if you can get Windows to run for 49.7 consecutive days without rebooting, it is possible that it will crash on its own. This seems like warning people that if they flap their arms fast enough to leave the atmosphere, they will suffocate, but Microsoft has nonetheless posted a patch for affected users. No word on whether anyone has downloaded it yet.
