The Mind Of OverlordTomala

I’ve been pondering.

Papa Smurf and I have come to the conclusion that Fedora 15 sucks major bollox. So the forum will be down for  awhile longer until we go back to Fedora 14 and reinstall the proper packages so that the forum will actually function.

Meanwhile regarding the srcds error for L4D2, I’ve asked around and haven’t gotten any help or suggestions (other than from a friend on steam). But it didn’t really help my case unfortunately. I hate doing this but it looks like I may have to upgrade to a newer server. I already have one in mind, hopefully moving to one that supports SSE3 instruction sets would fix the problem. I still don’t want to do this though because as it is the server is more than capable (in fact I’d go as far to say that it’s overkill). It’s an HP Rackmount server. Seems ridiculous to stop supporting it. It’s also ridiculous that there aren’t more people who are in the same boat as me.

How can this not be supported?

As an aside and a brighter note, PS and I sat down for a L4D1 match tonight. There will be a review in the future. I also have a L4D2 one planned. But I won’t go about saying how either of these reviews will be planned.

Fuck…

Even after updating to Fedora 15 I STILL get the same fucking error when trying to launch L4D2.

Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.
./srcds_run: line 357: 2375 Illegal instruction (core dumped) $HL_CMD
Add “-debug” to the ./srcds_run command line to generate a debug.log to help with solving this problem

Research of this error pointed me to this older steam thread:

If they dropped support for my server I’m gonna fucking rage.

Another week of morning hell.

Looked into the future today. I’ll be getting up at the crack of dawn still so it’ll be real hard to find me unless you see me on my days off. I won’t go into detail but yes, the epic circle jerkery that is corporate life is still taking place. The person who I have taken over for is getting trained to take yet another persons place, leaving me with their job still.

At least I’m getting more hours. That’s the only thing that’s really keeping me half sane.

Sunday Night Open Thread

Today I spent most of my time tidying things up a bit. Then I looked into a few maps for a game that is not Left 4 Dead (since I wouldn’t mind reviewing something dor a different game). Then we had steak for dinner. Had mine Florentine style with a lemon wedge. nothing like a steak grilled over hickory/mesquite and seasoned with some lemon juice from a fresh wedge.

 

Now to prepare my lunch box for tomorrow. I know ahead of time that it’ll be a full day.

Saturday Open Thread

Decided to experiment in the kitchen today. Green curry with zucchini over rice and some India Spice chai to wash it down.  On another note my L4D2 server died again (thanks Valve) and I have no idea what to do. It’s coredumping nonstop and I can’t seem to find anyone else having issues with their servers. This shit annoys me, especially since last night I wanted to play it… So instead I opted for Serious Sam HD, where I killed Santa.

Goodbye Trellian, hello Dreamweaver

Just got Dreamweaver tonight. For those that don’t know Adobe Dreamweaver is used for building websites, html editing and can be used to create many webscripts (php, java etc). I used Trellian to change the slackers site but felt it was lacking somehow. I’ll be experimenting in Dreamweaver CS5 to see what I can come up with. Maybe even find a template for inspiration/to fuck with.
