New Years Status Update
Posted by Magnus on 1 January 2003, 12:33 GMT

As the new year should start on the last parts of the globe in about 30 minutes, it's about time for a quick status update.

  • Hiring of news editor
    We're working on it :-) Down to a few candidates now, but we're currently waiting for a couple of our staff members to return from holidays before we make the final choice. Expect the result in the beginning of january.
  • Filearchive updates
    Yes, both our filearchivers are unavailable at the moment - out of town or very busy with studies. We expect this to be solved mid-january. Hopefully we can get some sporadic updates through before that.
  • accounts/webmaster mail
    Yes, we've neglected those. Basically, there have been issues as far back as end of september that has gone unanswered. We'll try to fix this now. But in order to avoid double-work, if you have an open issue, please resend it if you haven't received a response. And make sure you send to the correct address - see Contact Us for a list.
  • help@ticalc.org mail
    We currently do not have the resources to answer mail to this address. Please use our mailinglists instead. Or TI support if it is an issue with builtin functions in the calculator.
  • Site hosting
    We still don't accept new site hostings.

At the moment, no. We're focusing on the other parts. We may in a while, though. If so happens, we will post a news article about it just like we did about the news editor.

Summary: Yes, I could. No, I won't. At least not now. :)

LOL I saw signs and I thought it was pretty scary, but I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVED it. The great thing about it was that it got you involved in the movie so much that you thought you were there, kind of. I jumped when the music changed ;)

I saw it too. The only thing it lacked that "The Ring" had was extreme suspence, blood, gore, and paranormal sci-fi. (Actually, it was like watching someone's nightmare. It was perfectly scary. 8-0)

What was it about other than the movie that kills people a week later after watching it? (saw a preview)

A ghost kills the people exactly seven days after seeing the movie, and the last thing they see before the ghost comes for them is a ring-shaped object (i.e. one of the main characters meets this fate, and the last thing he sees is a ring-shaped coffee stain on his coffee table). Trust me, do not see it in theatres; rent it and watch it with the volume down with family and during the daylight hours. I could not sleep for days after seeing it.

Happy New Year all, even though it's been 2003 for 10 hours where I live. It's nice that they updated us on the status of the site ... looks like no file archive updates for a while.
Hope no one was out late driving ... late night/early morning on New Year's is one of the most dangerous times of the year for driving.

Heh, I was going to say ME (because it is unstable), but then I thought the "windows-bashers" (a.k.a. Linux/Mac users) would come along with their flames. >:(

You can do stuff with dos. In QB, which is all DOS run, you can change the colors and even have graphics (best resolution: 640x480). But of course, QB isn't dos ;-)

We had to get Windows XP for my parent's computer because ME crashed so often. Also, it prohibited sound on the computer every other boot sequence.

thats what all command lines are for, the nitty gritty, well, thats what they are for now. I like the *nix based ones more, they just feel more powerful... and they are far easier to use, once you get the hang of it.

Yes, if you like realism. Frankly, AOM is very realistic, but half the game is building a base and defending it and building more towers, and...etc.
I like RTS games where you build a base in five minutes (Warcraft III, RA2), and spend the rest of the game fighting the enamy.
