Old (DOS) games are cool.
I found an open source clone of Transport Tycoon Deluxe (released around 1995) by Microprose (now Atari it seems) yesterday or the day before. It's called OpenTTD and can be found here. It requires the data files from the original game, but those shouldn't be hard to find if you don't own a copy of it.
Sure, it's a bit buggy and the build system sucks - but what the hell.. It's better then running the original through Wine. I have been playing it for the last 8 hours now.
It works on Linux, Windows and MacOS X.

There's another game that is built around the same idea called Simutrans, but it's not open source (only "freeware"). And IIRC there should be another clone too. Can't remember the name of it thou.

.. how to get LDAP authentication working on Tru64 (5.1B), please tell me. I'm out of ideas..

I'm using the ENHANCED security stuff, maybe it doesn't work with it, I don't know and I couldn't find anything suggest that either.

I just saw the first 30 minutes of a movie called "Grand Prix"from 1966. I have to say, this is one of the worst movies I have seen in a while. In fact, It's probably the second worst, just before "Gayniggers From Outer Space".

Anyway.. I spend too much time watching TV at night. After Conan O'Brian and Jay Leno, O'Brian is before Leno here and we're lagging behind 1 week, they always show some movie and today it was "Grand Prix", which sucks (I just had to say it again.. IT SUCKS. Ok.. Feels a bit better now).
After the movie "Due South" is on and it's actually quite OK, atleast around 05:00 (AM) which is when it starts today.

First entry in my weblog - not counting the other ones I made a year or so ago when I first tested some blogging software.

A fresh new start and I have nothing interesting to put here right now.
So if you can read this, it seems to work.
