i just realised that i haven’t blogrolled in a while. it’s no wonder my tagboard/comments section are stagnant.
i may soon be changing the theme of this site. make it more battlefield like. but that is if i pull myself away from the game itself.
nwn server is back online. for a while.
waiting for the stats package at bf2s.com to be reintroduced again. then you’ll be able to see my stats right here! 
look for myuu on bf2tracker.com!
and it looks like i’ll be getting that new processor next month. it’s hard flying choppers through kubra dam with a certain amount of jerkiness. probably get myself a 3.0e. the 1.8 will go into my bsd box, to carry the extra load introduced by my new gnome2 desktop. i’ve already managed to offload my torrents to it, but the emule part files poses some problem as i lack the disk space to keep them all. tsk.
anyways, in addition to the processor, was thinking of getting an additional 512mb of ram or a logitech mx1000 mouse. what do you think?
and i just realised i’ve been making a lot of technical references lately. so tadah! inline links!
so much for the bf2 server idea. i might just keep one up for practice sessions, but the player limit’ll be greatly reduced, and it won’t be published on the server list.
instead, i’m now looking into windows managers for freebsd. i’ve just finished installing gnome, which is supposed to be a pretty nice windows environment for unix machines. think of it as windows xp for free.
this pretty much mean that i’ll have more workstation tools for my server, which is already up 24 hours a day. so torrents, p2p applications, etc. will all move to it, allowing me to turn off my microsoft pc and saving a lil bit of electricity, which has been killing me by the way.
i’ve yet to load it up though. might just do so after the bbq tonight. oops, i’m late!
sorry to all who’ve been wondering why this site was down for so long. after the upgrade, i didn’t quite check whether my dns server was running properly. in the end, no one could get to the website, altho mail and BF2 was ok. 
oh well… sorry again.
read below for the entries posted during the blackout period.
BF2 server is up! Look for us on the server list or GameSpy Arcade (keyword bangsar). Only those who didn’t upgrade to 1.01 will be able to connect though. This will be the case till EA releases a patch… for the patch.
bah.
boo. BF2 is released with a horrific server browser.
yay. EA/Dice releases 1.01 patch to fix it.
boo. EA/Dice revokes 1.01 patch due to absurd memory leaks.
boo. no clue as to how to sign up as a ranked server.
btw, since we’re in the upgrading season, i’ve just upgraded bangsar.net’s machine to FreeBSD 5.4. yay.
now hopefully i can finally setup a local BF2 server. yay.
also upgraded everything else. we’re now on Apache 2. yay.
but now i’m feeling sleepy and i might not be able to play. boo.
