D'oh

Well, congrats all the same.

The battle against pests in the garden continues. Red mites making return visits to plants I have yet to identify (one of my neighbors gave them to me). The aphids seem to have given up on the rose bushes for the moment, but they're still making themselves known on the hybiscus. Also, something has been nibbling holes in the affore mentioned unknown plants. I'm thinking it may be snails, but I'm not sure...any ideas?

Sorry about that. For some reason labor almost came to a stand still and they sent her home??? She has an appointment today with her Dr. and they might induce labor to get her going again. I'll post some pictures after she is born.

Ok, just beat System Shock 2 for the first time ever. The ending was somewhat more of a let down for me than most other people. For some reason the indeo codec's don't work correctly on Vista, so no cutscenes and consequently no end clip either. But then I watched the end sequence on youtube. And I have to say, I was almost convinced that it was a fan made spoof. I'm rather disappointed, but slightly amused at the same time. On the whole it was a great experience though.

Recently, I've been eyeing the original System Shock. Has there ever been a version released that doesn't need to run on DoS, or will I need to track down DoSbox(or similar)?

And at the same time I've been lamenting the likelyhood that a System Shock 3 will never occurr. (who knows, though, it could be for the best)

Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to get the indeo codecs to work properly on Vista, or some other kind of workaround, it would be very helpful.
The issue is keeping mission briefings for Thief:TDP, and System Shock cutscenes from playing. Thief 2: MA, seems to play them perfectly, so I have no idea what the issue may be.

I listen to a community radio station here in Dallas (KNON by name) and on some mornings they carry the feed from Democracy Now, a fairly progressive news outlet but they do highlight news stories that you won't get from other sources. The radio host had a conference call with three people, one of whom was "an anonymous person from the group Anonymous".

How did she know he was from Anonymous? Did he say "oh, I am a member of Anonymous but I can't give you my name". Srsly?
