SETI down, vandals bite
And while we're off-topic, those of you crunching SETI units might have noticed that you haven't been able to connect to the SETI servers for a couple of days. This is because (as the SETI home page redirect mentions) vandals cut the fiber line connecting UC Berkeley with LBNL. They hope to have it back up and running today.
Update: Seems the repairs won't be done before tomorrow, late in the day (PST)... call it another 27 hours or so. (Louis Wu 21:38:12 UTC) (permalink)
Dreamland going under - can you help?
Okay, this is totally unrelated to Halo, and that means we usually stay away from it. Seems to be a good cause, though... Neil Grattan, a frequent contributor to the fan-built sections around this site, writes
Mythos (the creators of the xcom series) are in extreme trouble, and are facing liquidation. I myself hold no links with them apart from being an avid follower of their games for many years. The one thing that I wish of your community is perhaps a look and some support of their latest title, which has been cut short and canceled due to publishers Virgin withdrawing funds. At this point you might be thinking...well what do you want me to do about it, its already canceled. If you were to visit http://www.mythosgames.com/dreamland.htmÊfor info on the actual game and http://pub50.ezboard.com/fmythosgamesltd32854frm1Êfor the forum you would see that opposition for the move is very much alive.
The game itself looks incredible - Grat brought it up recently on our forum, and the response was pretty positive. Check it out - maybe another Looking Glass can be avoided! (Louis Wu 21:35:18 UTC) (permalink)
Fan Fiction section updated
Thanks to Foxhound, who sent in Chapter 2 of his story, 'Group 3'.
I tried the squad comm link then flicked on the console in the jeep, just to see if there were any signals. There was nothing, nothing except the dry crackle of the damn energy storm, all communication in our vicinity were dead, for the time being anyway. I again looked out of the windscreen...
Check it out in our Fan Fiction section! (Louis Wu 17:33:16 UTC) (permalink)
Programming Intern wanted
Are you a fledgling programmer? Do you dream of working on a project like Halo? Dream no longer - Tom Van Sinden noticed yet ANOTHER new job opening at Bungie - Programming Intern. They want someone
...to come work, learn and write the best "What I did on my summer vacation" paper ever.
If this sounds too good to be true, send in your resume! Pax. (Crux Fidelis 09:50:23 UTC) (permalink)
11.2?
Um... we got mail from Psyrixx, about a new section of the Psyjnir Complex - Tabloids. It's a bit odd. Stop by and check it out.
