*goes back to playing Prey* 

...was that Kinn wouldn't be such an angry little faggoty nerd, but instead I got a toaster.

(It's okay I actually wanted a toaster. (and a Wii. (but I didn't get that.))) 

I got a Wii. No toaster. Who the fuck wants a toaster for Christmas? 

between a toaster and bathwater in their future? 

i asked for a toaster oven. same thing really. 'cept I can bake little mini pizzas in it!

got a vacuum cleaner for my birthday.

shit you need son.. SHIT YOU NEED 

It is much manlier to buy the Wii yourself in the shop, to show to the riffraff there that you are a man of the world, while buying a toaster just screams to the sophisticated shoppers 'oh god I am so effeminate my girlfriend made me buy this I swear! (But I can tell by your looks you don't believe me! *sob*)'.


I also got a mixer and a nice towel that matches my bathroom very well, and the toaster is stainless steel! (My sister knows I like it classy around the house.) 

This is toaster czg got:

The truth will out! 

So why must a regular Quake demo already be recording upon level load? Is there some issue with initializing the level/demo that can't be done once the level has already started? I'm wondering why we don't have engines that let you start recording a demo after loading the level like QW, but without using a different demo format. 

Is there a way to split a file containing lots of lines to one file per line? Windows or Linux doesn't matter. 

Check out JoeQuake, it has that feature. 

I'm sure there are nicer tools, but my bjt tool can do that:

bjt split -l1 -i myfile.log

You'll get files named myfile.000 and upwards. 

opacity.us has been eaten by godaddy.

OPACITY.US IS GONE :O

anybody happen to archive it? von? I've been using it for reference intensively all week. 

Sweet, thanks!

Would it be possible to get the new files named after the first word in the line? 

No, not so easily. You'll probably need a script (bat+grep) that combines the filename and the first word to form a command that'll rename the file.

Btw, I tried to find a generic file splitter tool, but I could only find ones that used a size for splitting, strange ... 

A beer for you! 

I am 26 though, so I guess that's fair enough. I stopped believing in Santa when I was 23 anyway, so I guess Santa isn't listening anymore :(

I got a coat and some pyjamas and precious little else*. I had already bought myself a Wii :/

*and some money 

...this http://www.bootsonline.com.au/snowy.htm from the Kringlemeister. Which is just as well, 'cause we'll be doing a benefit gig for the Wangaratta Country Fire Authority on NYE. Yee Har! 

who gave the player his voice? [nin].tr? john romero? my mom? does anyone know? 

If I remember it right from that Doom book, it was American McGee and John Romero who made those. 

that arrived the day before christmas despite an earlier email warning that the might not be available in time for the holidays. Yesterday I got around to making a USB-"sensor"bar for them so I can now use the pointing functionality and not just the accelerometer/buttons on the PC.

At this point I kind of desperately want my internet back at home though so I can read up on all sorts of things needed to actually come up with some sensible application for my new toys. 

No internet? Been wondering where you were. =(
/me gives bear a late xmas hug 

May all of your (good) dreams come true in '07 :) 

Got my rune - it was stuffed in my mailbox the whole time. This thing is sharp, and I do mean sharp. You could hurt someone severely with this thing. And who knew the Quake symbol would ring like a tuning fork when struck?

lol @ wrapping it in toilet paper though. you opted for the spring flower pattern I see? :) 

the rust is kind of coming off though. I mean, maybe I should stop rubbing it on my chest and sweating, but what did you coat these with? I might throw on a coat or two extra myself.
