Late Breaking News |

97.10.31 | 16:53 | Added lots of stuff, mainly for DM2. Too many to directly link here, so go check 'em out for yourself. Added a link to ClanRing Beta Testing Server 'cos its good. Its a Quake mod which does lots of stuff suited towards serious competition gaming. Get it. Added a link to Lucas: The Home Page, the home page of the guy who puts together the local Quake comp. So if you live in the Perth, Western Australia area, and you play Quake, make sure you check it out. No more applications for the helper job please. Thanks to all the people that offered their services, you all rock! Exams start tomorrow, don't expect to see many updates for two weeks at least. Heh, you know that Quake comp I went to and came fourth in the duel compo? It turns out that I came third in the free-for-all. Odd. Anyway, I won a one month starter pack with the local ISP, which means I'll probably buy myself a modem after exams. w00p! Now I'll be able to get in some serious Quaking! Oh, and a couple of days ago, I saw for the first time, a picture of Hellkitten. I didn't know what all the commotion was about before, I thought "she's probably just another girl", but how wrong was I. If only more like her existed. Oh well.
97.10.27 | 15:15 | Added the first bit of the QCON1 Key Area #1. Added the little "Site Map" button on the top right hand corner of each page. Added a link to The Installation, which is another cool site on deathmatch tactics and whatnot, and focusses on areas such as 1-on-1, free for all, CTF, Rocket Arena, etc. Err, some people have been mailing me about the links on the fun! Maps page being broken. The links are correct, it's their server which has gone funny, and it's been like that for a few days now. You'll just have to wait until their server is up again. I went to the Quake Comp that I said I wouldn't get to go to. I came fourth, mainly 'cos I suck at E1M2, which was the default competition map. But I did completely trash whomever was silly enough to try me on DM4. Unfortunately, when I tried to record demos, QuakeWorld (which I am completely unfamiliar with) kept complaining with "Error: Couldn't Open". Thusly I have no demos to show, which is a pity. :( Oh yeah, congratulations to "ppp54.pressroom.com" for being the host name of the computer whose owner was the 10,000th person to access my counter, at exactly 10:48:00am on the 24th of October 1997, using Netscape Navigator 4 on Windows NT. You win nothing! Yay! :)
97.10.23 | 23:37 | Added My preliminary Quake2 config file. Also, I need help! Check it out on the Welcome! page if you missed it.
| 00:38 | The new logo is here. Its pretty cool, no? Big thanks to James W. Kennison for creating it. Check out one of his many sites, Skins by James.
97.10.17 | 14:57 | Argh. Spent most of last night trying to get IE4 to install properly. It's a bastard when you don't have a modem. After restoring my Windows and Program Files directories three times, I decided to stop trying to install all the components and settled on just having IE4 itself. Anyway, I'm happy to report that IE now understands what an "image" is, and what "onmouseout" means. How does this affect those of you viewing this site with IE4? I've enabled the cool little arrows on the sitemap and the framed nav bar. Ain't that grand? Before you could only see them on Netscape. Added the preliminary version of the DM4 strategy page, with only one item at the moment (but probably the most important one), Key Area #1. Days until exams: 17 :(
97.10.14 | 21:03 | Made some minor changes here and there. Slightly rewrote The Basics pages to make them non-DM4 specific. Lots of other little things that I forget. Oh yeah, you must read this article entitled Zig-zagging through a strange universe. Very interesting indeed. Make sure you get all the way through it. Ages ago I forgot to say that I removed The Super Weenie GL Cheat. I did this because I felt that this is site is meant for tips only, not cheats. You can mail me if you wanna try and weasel it outta me though. :) If you didn't see on the Welcome! page already, I am no longer requiring any logos. I am still in need of your Demos though. Argh. I am trying to write a Strategy page for DM4 and QCON1, but I am in "stressing over exams" mode at the moment. My exams are the first two-ish weeks of November, and I really have to spend my time now studying, so work on this site will have to slow down (and halt altogether during exams). You guys understand, don't you? I don't even get to go the next local Quake Comp because its right at the start of exams. Anyway, after the exams I'll have heaps of free time for all this stuff.
97.10.11 | 13:00 | Been busy lately with other stuff (encoding .mp3's and mucking around on Da Pak). Anyway, I've changed the name "Reviews" to "bezerk's Favourites" 'cos they're not really reviews, kinda more like listings. Which brings me to the point that I've filled the two empty links there (even though they are kinda just preliminary pages), so check out fun! Maps and Demos. Also added the QCON1 tricks page. I'm also gonna close up the logo's thingy soon. The last chance for me to see your logo will be by next Tuesday, the 14th of October. And that's Perth, Western Australia time. :) Also a big sorry if I haven't responded to your e-mail. I accidently deleted some before I could reply (I got/read them all though), and this craziness with multiple mailboxes is the cause. I've made a Contacting Me page to try and remedy this.
97.10.09 | 20:05 | I put the 15 u-turn jumps demo, that I was talking about the other day, on the demo downloads page. Also, for the benefit of people with slower connections, I modified the frames nav bar and removed all the onmouseovers. Now you have to click on each menu item to make the sub-menus pop-up. This should result in less confusing behaviour of the nav bar. More logos are coming in, which is a cool thing. I might close the "competition" soon though.
97.10.07 | 08:58 | Cool. My dir is now /fun. But I guess you knew that. Shouts out to dweomer and fragmaster. Big up!
| 00:44 | Heh, I just went and recorded a demo of me on DM2 doing 15 u-turn jump's in a row in quick succession, just to prove how easy it is. :) I might put it up here for download so you can analyse it or whatever. Being able to do the u-turn jump doesn't give you that much advantage IMHO, unless you are playing to be as quiet as possible, but it's still just cool to show your friends and say, "I'm the king-daddy 'cos I can do 15 u-turn jumps in a row." :) I have received several logos already. In fact, I was friggin' amazed that anyone would give a shit, but I guess it just goes to show ya how cool the Quake community is. Oh, and just before I go to sleep, does any html super-guru out there know how to precache .html files??? I experimented with doing a "new image" precache but instead of a .jpg or .gif as the .src, I thought I might try and trick it and put a .html file in there and see if that worked. I'm not sure if this is actually doing anything since it's pretty hard to tell loading off my hard disk, but even if it were, IE3 doesn't understand the image precache anyway. So, is there any other way of precaching .html files which will work on any browser that supports JavaScript? Please mail me if you know whether it can or can't be done. Hehe, actually I've just had a brainwave about how it could definitely be done, but its hell goofy. But still, please mail me if you know. And just one more thing. I am working on the content for this page, filling up those empty links and stuff, but I would prefer to get a whole heap done and then upload so it doesn't look so pathetic, like adding one paragraph at a time. Anyway, me sleepy.
97.10.05 | 00:08 | Added the big plea for logo help. If you missed it, check it out on the Welcome! page. And the status bar in the framed nav bar suddenly decided to work in IE3 again. Weird.
97.10.04 | 18:54 | I reckon this site is looking alot more polished now. Added the two Monas. Once everything has been tidied up site-wise, I can get back to working on content. I have added one very small section for QCON1: Jumps to the Mega-Health. I'm really tempted to add DM2 tips, even though I said I wouldn't before. There's just so many cool tricks and jumps on DM2. But I doubt I'm gonna get the time to do both QCON1 and DM2. I may even be asking for content help soon, but we'll have to wait and see.
97.10.03 | 18:12 | Haha! I just went and made that "Pants Down Now!" graphic you see on the Welcome! page. Man I'm so funny. Ahem. Actually, it was alot easier to make then I thought it would be. I usually suck at picking out good flesh tones. Anyway, I reckon its cool stuff. Feel free to nick it and add some hilarity to your page. Oh yeah, the idea is that you say something like "This site is best viewed with your Pants Down. Get your Pants Down Now!". Yes, he is missing a penis and some testicles, I thought it would be in better taste to leave them out. Besides which, I modelled him after YOU! Haha, I'm on a roll today. :)
| 16:58 | Okay, I've gone and fixed up every single link everywhere, so any active link should work properly. If you find one that doesn't though, I wouldn't mind hearing about it. And another thing, I was meant to save the old News page from DM4 is really good! so I could stick the old news onto the end of this page, but I went and uploaded too quick and forgot to save it. I guess it doesn't really matter now, but um, if you um, happen to have a copy of it...
97.10.02 | 02:22 | Crap. I just remembered that all the links in the actual tips sections won't work because they still reference the old DM4 is really good! pages. Crap.
| 00:37 | Um. Just wanted to see how to split up separate times on the same day.
| 00:25 | Nothing new actually. I just wanted to see how to split up seperate days' news.
97.10.01 | 23:47 | Phew! I said it before and I'll say it again: site redesign is a bitch! The new layout has been finalised (I think), but I still have to add all the new content in. Also, the blue status bar in the framed menu decided to stop working in IE3 for no reason at all. Still got lots to do and not much time to do it in, since I got these thingies called exams coming up.
