Out of the Blue

Thanks to all of you who've sent in suggestions for dealing with the Eudora to Outlook conversion outlined yesterday. Unfortunately loony was unavailable for a good part of the day, so I haven't been able to experiment with any of the offered suggestions yet. I did decide to get in a little Q3Test after things quieted down later in the evening, and had a funny experience. MrCoffee and I joined a server called netmegs-something or other, and quickly noticed it was one of those servers, those being the bizarro timelimit servers, in this case the timer was already on 70-something. Someone checked and announced to the game that the server has a 500 fraglimit and a 120 timelimit, and another quick-witted player, without missing a beat, typed back "Maybe this is what Carmack meant by a persistent universe." Gotta love a good Quake joke.

Oh yeah, a little pop culture yesterday, not the Matrix (as so many offered), that was William Hickey in Prizzi's Honor (remember the quotes are always in some sort of context--in this case hitman). William Minton-Marshall gave this quote in reply: "We Prizzis forgive nothing!"

Link of the Day: Were we bored offering the cinematic triumph "The dance of the Bru Bottles," described by the filmmakers as "Cheesy, Crap and Soft Centered this is a stopmotion masterpiece made by three bored students with a free digital camera." With a description like that it was born to be an LoD. Think death takes a holiday with a plastic bag as death. Or maybe it's just stop-motion dancing bottles.
Image of the Day: APOD August 12, 1999 - Deploying Spartan. Yup, another Astronomy Picture of the Day, proof that NASA has been conducting a secret war with the Borg in low-Earth orbit. Thanks THEgrimreaper.
