Hey, that was easy! OK, year is now displayed and I went ahead and added 100MB to the upload limit since some people complained in the past. 
 
OK, and I changed it so the folder thumbnails default to off now... 
Thanks! 
Now that's what I call proper service. 
I Thought This Was Quite Cool

Just some dudes thoughts on the original Doom, but its well researched and interesting. 
 
That WAS really good, thanks! 
Yeah, Tis Good 
Well, except for "'wolfenshteen' if you're pedantic"... :| 
 
Listening to him talk reminded me of my early feelings about Doom and Quake and what drew me to them so strongly. Nice memory walk... 
 
Yeah went over good stuff. His analysis of Half-Life is a bit off though imo. I agree with the stuff about Alyx (good character by not being a bad one), but as comments point out he doesn't place HL1 into the context of shooters at the time, nor does he appear to particularly like variety or the adventure elements, which is one of the reasons I find HL doesn't get boring compared to stuff like CoD etc.

.....and they still give it 9 out of 10.

The first part of the written review also, talks about how they player doesn't get many character customization options, and that the tutorial element is severely lacking.

..... and they still give it a 9 out of 10.

Unbelievable. 
Aren't They Paid To Do That Or Something? 
 
 
They gave Halo3 10 out of 10
..... and you still pay attention to review ratings.

Unbelievable.

Hacked 
just found this delightful directory on my web domain :(

how do you protect yourself against that kind of shit? is it just a case of changing password regularly?

Don't Use Bad Passwords. 
Grc.com has a couple of great ways to generate near impossible to brute force passwords. 
 
Something long and easy to remember is usually best. I wish them the best of luck at brute forcing something like:

"iwishpeoplewouldstoptryingtohackmysite" 
 
Thanks message board! Anyway, you get the idea... 
 
Hm, something ate my post.

That is NOT a secure password. A combination of words is not secure unless the service restricts login attempts. Even more so if they are all lower case.

A secure password has various symbols in it, is not readable like that. Use characters like !"�$%&/()=?`*'_:;

Everyone should really use something like http://www.keepassx.org/ (not some online service for heaven's sake) to generate and maintain your passwords. I do not know 10% of my passwords, I only copy and paste them. 
 
thanks for that link spirit. looks useful

interestingly i tried my old password on this page and the 'online attack scenario' reported a time of 46.68 centuries. i suspect brute force isn't the only way of getting in...

So not TOO long then.

I use a password program and generator as well but the idea behind the long string of words IS a solid one. Words strung together without spaces is just as good as anything with random symbols and crap sprinkled through it. Just as hard to crack and easier to remember. 
 
rj make sure you check your logs and or contact your host to actually know what happened. 
Did So 
and it turns out they got in with zero failed login attempts which pretty much rules brute force out of it, after all that (unless there's some way of downloading the login info and doing it offline)

i can't rule out possible malware on a past windows install though. in which case i'd be at fault for keeping the same password for ~6 years, regardless of how hard it would have been to crack :)

morals learnt, etc
