Must read this article later, although I’ve been meaning to read it for 2 days now!

Max Payne – Hero
As featured on slashdot already, this movie is excellent. If you’ve ever played Max Payne you’ll really like this movie. If you haven’t, you’ll still like it!
On a side note, the fileshack registration process is quite nice, enter a username and email address, hit submit, then click on the link they send to enter your password. hmm… 🙂
SCO – modem configuration
I know a hell of a lot more now about SCO than I did 24 hours ago. I know all about “Modem Manager”, /usr/lib/uucp/Devices and /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers – Argh! It’s so archaic! For those of you in the Windows world, imagine having to debug or use a Windows 3.1 application. That’s what SCO looked and felt like compared to the modern Linux systems I use everyday. Even a 4 year old Linux box is friendlier to the developer/user.
Finally, thank you Google for finding most of the information I needed. A few hints from a SCO applications developer in Dublin helped too. (“Have you tried 9600? Our modems have trouble connecting at different speeds” *ding*)
It was funny to see a Netscape icon on the desktop and ridiculous to see ncsa-httpd in the output of “ps”. Of course the guys in the office had no idea there was a webserver on the machine…
(Topic is Linux, close enough to Unix to not matter :P)
