Visor in Linux -- 5:23 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

All Linux Devices explains how to sync your Handspring Visor in Linux. Basically it involves making sure that your kernel supports USB. I know Mandrake 7.2's kernel supports it, I'm definitely going to try to get it working--especially now that I have a USB mouse too. Thanks Linux Today.

Q3:TA First Impressions -- 9:40 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Yesterday I bought myself a new computer desk (very nice!), a USB trackball, and Quake III: Team Arena. My first impressions of Q3:TA are pretty amazing. Every map I load up, I say "Wow!" The terrain maps are HUGE, especially the winter one. The smaller maps are incredibly detailed and ready for some fast-paced CTF. The prox mine launcher and the new nailgun are decent enough, but the chaingun rules. It makes having the ammo regen power-up more than worthwhile. I plan on playing all the maps a few times, then writing a full review. For now, I'll just say this: Best Buy has Q3:TA for $17.99. You have no excuse. Go buy it, then thank me later.

The Master comments: I'm in complete agreement with A.T. on this one. The maps in Q3A:TA are awsome, and there is one outdoor terrain map that is just awesome to play. I'd love to get a server big enough to get a LOT of bots on some of these outdoor maps and just RUMBLE. Whee :-)

UPDATE! id's Todd Hollenshead updated his .plan with word that Q3:TA is also available from CompUSA for $17.99. Don't think of it as spending money, think of it as helping the economy!

NFL Week #17 Final -- 9:05 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Eeyore and I ended the NFL regular season on a high note. Each of us posted our best scores of the year. I was 13-2 and she was 12-3. The final regular season tally for me is 161-87 (.649) and Eeyore's is 132-101 (.566). It's been fun. We'll have to do this again next year. This time, Eeyore can start with week one instead of week two.

Pondering the Imponderable -- 9:01 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I'm about to do the unthinkable. I'm going shopping the day after Christmas. I already went shopping on the busiest shopping day of the year (the day after Thanksgiving) so I might as well hit the second busiest. The things I'll do for Quake III: Team Arena. I can't wait to stand in line for eight hours before I can be helped by the friendly and courteous Best Buy staff.

The Master comments: We visited the Land of Best Buy already today-went pretty smooth. They had Independence Day for $20, which was a no-pass deal :-)
