See The World In Counter-Strike

Artist Aram Bartholl has come up with an interesting set of glasses which give you a different perspective on reality... by letting you view it as if you were playing a game of Counter-Strike. The idea for these glasses is definitely simply, but yet unique. I wonder how many strange looks someone wearing these will get.

LeoNET Is Back!

As some of you may have noticed, my server has been down a lot lately. This is because the Dell Dimension XPS T550 that this site (and my IRC server) had been running on died, after 8 years of service. I suspect the processor started going, because gcc would have internal errors.

This week, I finally decided to shell out the money for a new server. I got a Dell PowerEdge 1650 (Dual 1.4 Ghz P3, 2GB RAM, 2x73GB SCSI disks and RAID) off eBay and put Fedora Core 6 on it. Then I restored the data from the old box onto this one (which took some work as the hard drive was a little bit hosed on the old box) and here we are. I will be updating this much more often now and the uptime should be good now.

Stay tuned for pictures of the new server!
