Combat Hazards I
A while ago Roleplaying Tips held a contest for combat
hazards, traps and terrain ideas. The first batch is
featured below. Thanks to everyone who entered!
Entries tended to come in two formats, long and short. The
short entries are one-liners and they'll appear in the ezine
in the future. Some of the long entries are what we have
here today.
My business partner, Alexis and I are in the process of converting our company's website to Drupal. We have found that Drupal offers amazing customization ability. Our original site was based purely in PHP and we found very difficult to add new content and update news entries, for example. The new site, which will be launched soon, has been completely converted to Drupal.

Watching the spiraling price of gold (the spot price as of this writing is $1,213.40/oz) has been a humbling experience for me. There are all kinds of marketing forces happening to cause this, but if you follow what the Austrian School folks are saying, this is not a surprising trend at all. Central banks around the world are dumping their U.S. dollars and buying up gold, which is driving the price up. But I think this is different than just another commodity bubble, because the way gold is perceived–as a store of wealth.
We have been running Drupal for some time now and we have noticed that it generates a very large amount of warnings in our log files.
The warning is in link with improperly formatted strings. PostgreSQL tries to follow the SQL specification to the letter and that means you cannot use the backslash character to escape special character sequences (such as \n for a newline character.)
I’m happy to announce the release of a new version of SLiteChat.
A little while ago I decided, finally, that I’d had enough of dealing with Microsoft Vista on my laptop (an HP Pavilion dv7). I had been running Kubuntu Jaunty (Ubuntu with the KDE4 interface) using VirtualBox, and was pretty happy with it. I thought that it worked out pretty well because Vista seemed to handle all the hardware angles and at least I could still get to Linux when I needed it (for example, to make builds for my open source application, SLiteChat). However, when giving a talk about CMake to my company’s client, and using my laptop with a projector attached, the networking decided to freeze, thus making my talk impossible to continue. That’s M$ Vista for ya. :/ Fortunately, I could switch to VirtualBox and at least illustrate stuff from the command line, but this frustrated me beyond belief. So I decided to take action and install a better OS on my system.
I just upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu Karmic. Wow what an impressive OS!!!!! I also moved away from KDE, and well you know what? Gnome works really really well, so much better than KDE 4, I’m sad to say. And I was a big KDE fan up until recently!
