I was digging through my ancient bookmarks and found this. I may have to experiment- after all, I do have a pile of dead floppy drives.
At some point I would like USL to serve as a community site for central Iowa modders/geeks. I'm reaching out to the community in search of an appropriate mission statement.
I don't know if it's intentional, but forum, comment, article, etc. posts don't show up aligned like they're entered.
For example, this is a new paragraph separated by a blank line. Or is it...
So is this, and all of the new paragraphs aren't indented by me, but they are! I think this could use some tweaking, what does anyone else think?
Or am I using the incorrect input format? Hmm hmm...
I don't know if it's because I'm using Portable Firefox or not, but the Favicon is the little Drupal waterdrop guy.
The Favicon works fine when I'm using normal Firefox (with a fully functional cache), at least as far as I've noticed so far.
I think you were having problems with that a while ago. Anyone else notice anything?
Oh yeah, if you're getting the same thing, the Favicon is a gray and white looking square (which is the USL logo if you look closely). Maybe if my eyes weren't so crappy I could make out all those Favicons out there a little better...
I paid bruce a visit a week ago to poke at cases and do other assorted geeky things. I brought the MDPortal Elite machine back with me. I'd been itching to play some System Shock for many moons. So many moons, in fact, that I logged roughly eleven hours and fourty-four minutes of game-time over a span of two days. Nothing says good times like foiling SHODAN's plans to destroy the world and such.
You know those hand-crank, stove-top [url=http://www.popcornpopper.com/24000.html]popcorn poppers[/url] they have? I wonder if they make a good computer case. Or part of one, at least.
Currently on the drawing board is a computer case based mostly on a popcorn popper. The popper won't really dictate any sort of "popcorn theme," but will really only be an interesting part of the case.
But why a popcorn popper? Well, if I'd have happened upon some other pot or pan sitting in the junk heap, I probably would have said "Hey! I bet that pan that doesn't happen to be a popcorn popper would make an intersting computer case!"
Now maybe everybody has heard of the [url=http://news.com.com/Carbon+TVs+to+edge+out+liquid+crystal,+plasma/2100-1041_3-5512225.html]Carbon Nanotube (CNT) screens[/url] that are supposed to be better than LCD/Plasma screens; however, while digging up information on that, I stumbled across something rather neat.
ISE Electronics Corp., a subsidiary of Noritake Co., Limited, has succeeded to use Carbon Nanotube as field emitter of a [url=http://www.noritake-elec.com/itron/english/nano/]high brightness light source[/url].
My brother Mike gave me the guts of a Pentium4 Dell a while ago. They came in some brown cardboard boxes, and after a brief stint as a wireless internet radio terminal running Linspire OS, it was shelved. At some point I wanted to turn it into a cardboard box PC- I mean the boxes it came in were just the right size to hold everthing.

I found this [url=http://www.pretaktovani.cz/text/luxusdrevocase.asp]fantastic wooden case[/url]while digging through the [H]ard Forums.
I like wooden cases, but it is rare to find one that is so well done. My current work-rig is a plain-jane Enlight 7237; it's sturdy as hell, but all that hardcore steel needs some de-beigeification. Wood, stone and steel
