Weekly Guild Wars comic coming?
“My friend has been offered by Arena.net to do his comic for Guild Wars on a weekly basis and get paid for it.” The only comic I’d want to read regularly is Guilt Wars.
“You have been playing for 1 day.”
Forget “Please take a break”; this one calls for a hard disk format.

Stingray intro.
The big hook in the show was he’d help you but in return you’d have to do a favour for him with no questions asked. I don’t remember much of the series but I did have an overwhelming desire to own a ’69 Chevrolet Stingray after watching it.
The A-Team.
A remake by Peter Jackson. (Okay, not really.)
Whiz Kids intro.
I lusted after all that computer equipment once.

I’ve changed the theme for the site. I was previously using Kubrick and I’ve switched to Brian Gardner‘s Blue Zinfandel theme. I’m using Brian Gardner’s Vertigo theme on Fanmode and was quite happy with it so I decided to change this site as well.
There are a couple of problems here and there. The most notable has to do with the CSS styling.
I’m certain that’s caused by the width of the centre column but I need to brush up on CSS before I try fixing that.
If you notice any other serious problems with the site, I’d appreciate a comment.

Do we still need 3rd party compression software when we have self-extracting archives and operating systems with built-in ZIP support?
Of course we do.
I don’t know about you but the most common compression formats I run into these days are RAR and ZIP. I use Windows XP’s built-in ZIP extractor to handle ZIP files and I use a free command line utility, UnRAR for Windows, to extract RAR archives. That’s pretty much all my decompression needs taken care of.
Or so I thought.
I didn’t see any great need to get additional compression software after I upgraded to a new PC until I downloaded the logs from my web site a few days ago. cPanel compresses logs in the GZIP format and I discovered I had no way of decompressing a GZIP archive on my new PC.
I recalled seeing a program called 7-Zip last year so I decided to check it out.
