baratronOne of these days, when I have Copious Free Time, I'm going to go back through my journal and completely redo my lj memories, indexing everything I've ever written. I'll separate out all the linky bits and make that a weblog which you'll be able to view through my web site. However, before that, I have a thesis to write and several important things on my things-to-do list which have sat there for a long time, so who knows when this will happen?
Anyway, here's (some more) links for the week:
An Open Letter to PC Game Developers. Link of the day on User Friendly. Some interesting points are raised.
John Lewis's in Addams Family shocker. Amusing. From the ever-cute![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The Extreme Teen Bible. Serious, not a parody. I believe the only applicable phrase for the flash animation is "Oh my God!". Seen in a very brief scan ofj00j's LJ: I will need to look at all her other links sometime.
RestrictedSection.org (a site featuring "adult" Harry Potter fanfics) gets threatened by JK Rowling's lawyer. More info here and here. I'm just reading and watching for the moment, as I try to avoid commenting before I have all the facts. It looks like the concern is only with fanfic that features explicit sex, but it could well set a precedent.

Date: 2003-01-16 01:59 pm (UTC)My recent discovery: StarCraft on Mac OS X is quite happy with an image I dd'ed from the game CD (diskXs1, not diskX) as a substitute for the real thing (which, I should add, I legitimately own), even though it could trivially tell them apart. This is quite useful in general, but especially in portable applications (http://www.apple.com/ibook/). And I'm told WarCraft III is the same way on said OS.
