The Design and Implementation of laffer1

So i have to move my websites to my pc on a dsl connection.. sucks a lot. For some reason, Java was uninstalled yesterday on the server. I don't know if i did it by accident, the ports collection fucked up (portupgrade), or if someone else did it. My current provider requires a username on the box with sudo access and i don't know how secure their password is. Even if i was rooted, the server is moving pretty quickly anyway. (meaning i will be moving the content to the compaq)

My lunch is close to done. (yeah at 10:17am)

I broke my own rule on the server when i set it up, but i didn't have much choice. I had to install x windows locally so i could download certain software from sites that are not lynx friendly. What a pain in the ass. I have to upload that software to the current server, but with the new one on DSL i don't dare use that much bandwidth. My plan is to download everything here before i move the server. Then i will just need to upgrade it there. I already have java, bind 9, and 160 other ports insalled on the thing. (imap, sendmail sasl, etc)

I decided to experiment with newer versions of tomcat on the box though..

the machine is running very smooth now that i removed the video and sound card upgrades. Two fans plus the cpu fan going inside. I only have a network card plugged into the pci bus. All slots are open aside from that. My pc is faster than the current server ( 1.2 gig vs 1.3 gig celeron) The 1.3 gig was the first to use the .13 micron process as i recall so it puts off less heat.

There is a port of Quake 1 for Mac OS X. You can even use the files from a windows licensed CD for it! Caryn bought the pc version years ago.

I'm still looking for a quake 2 solution. Caryn bought quake 3 again for the mac (actually i bought it for her including team arena).

Since i lost all my games on the pc, i thought i'd at least beef up our mac collection. I started looking for ports today. I think they should allow you to transfer your license (even if they charged a small fee).

We actually own 3 copies of quake 3 but can only play one of them. Isn't that crap.

I got a port of doom for OSX. We bought doom 1, 2, and final doom previously (2 licenses for doom 2). I have doom 1 and 2 working on the mac. (midi audio don't work though)

I'll need to re-buy AOE2. THe big thing that pisses me off is that i can't play orion pirates, or empires at war (star trek games). I also got 4 games for my birthday. 2 of them are available for the mac, but that doesn't help me with a pc version.

I just encoded the quake 1 audio as mp4 files. (not a typo) The game engine will let me run them without the damn cd that way. (plus its kewl)

Wonder if caryn will be interested?

I am going to install diablo 1 and 2 this week too.. blizzard is nice and includes the mac version with the pc version.
