What makes a word bad?Jul 22, 2005, 7:38pm
Something personally offensive to a person, or something used out of
context. -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com [View Quote] CY Comments?Jul 23, 2005, 8:15pm
Evening,
As we move onto planning the CY Awards, we would like to know what you think about them in the past, any ideas you have, or reasons why you do or do not like them. We plan on using this information to improve the awards, market research per say. You can email your comments to cyawards at gmail.com?subject=comments with the subject line 'comments', please note that any offensive comments regarding individuals will be disregarded. Thanks ;) -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com CY Comments?Jul 23, 2005, 10:59pm
I personally was thinking about the community votes producing the top 4, and
a pannel chosing the winner from them. However if thats plausable or if LT would go mental is another story. -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com [View Quote] CY Comments?Jul 23, 2005, 11:13pm
Lets do it in these newsgroups instead. Then we can discuss.

Of course she will read it, her going mental or not is my indication of if
she likes the idea or not. -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com [View Quote] CY Comments?Jul 23, 2005, 11:51pm
Personally I prefer to mininuke the mud and just walk over the radioactive
ash. Im not sure what I think to this idea in general, I do however think that a major benefit would be that 3 other people would get some kind of recognition for their efforts, even if they do not win. I think it would be more fair if say 5 people took the final vote, people who I pretty much knew were not going to discriminate or show favouritism towards individuals. Also had the idea of showing the 4 screenshots on the main stage, and then calling up the actual person when announced. (Have a media team for a reason ;)) -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com [View Quote] CY Comments?Jul 24, 2005, 1:04am

Actually I was going to modify evo's database to deal with secure voting, it
would be reasonably easy. As for tourists I just planned on giving them a password, ejecting them, getting their computer ID, and using the combined computer name / password as access to vote as they could get a password, and then come back and get another password - but when they got ejected to check their CID if it matched another one already registered (or same IP) then it would disable their new password, limiting them to 1 account. Its not perfectly secure (those without a MAC and Dynamic IP like me), but its the best I can think of. -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com [View Quote] CY Comments?Jul 24, 2005, 3:34am

Hence the media department.
Speaking of which, there are still 3 or 4 places available on the media team for this. Also there are 4 or 5 places remaining for building, and 4 or 5 for graphics. We also need more a pair of extra modellers. In short, we need quite a few people still, and there is nothing I can offer you in return for your work, but I hope a few more people will apply anyway. -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com CY Comments?Jul 24, 2005, 4:11am

> Andras
> "It's MY computer" (tm Steve Gibson) Unfortunately no, every student here ends up with a huge loan at the end of their degree they start paying off as soon as they earn over £15,000 a year. My C work had to be done on a Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A tho. Hardly the most efficent development platform in the world, we usually had 60 or 70 people using it at once when all the classes were at the same time, and the process commands usually took several seconds to scroll through. Can't stand trying to program on a system where I don't have admit access, its a PITA trying to get around security just to use the features you need easily. -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com America, love it or leave it...(wait, I'll get you the door)Jul 25, 2005, 7:04pm

I know they want it all 'nice' but IMO that scene was disturbing and would
make me turn right around and leave. IMO AWGate should be engaging, with people discussing things (other than the weather) and topics that will make people stay to partake in them, and return to partake in others. Gate also needs a chess and checkers bot which would be BRILLIANT, as well as more aware GK's. AWGate needs to engage the people that come by and encourage them to register - not make them feel like they are in VR Tellytubby land which will just make them thing something along the lines of 'freaks' and leave; and the business logic behind this: Since when did 8 year olds have credit cards? If anyone DOES want to sit about and hug all day, I will be glad to make something that puts you in a loving cuddly environment, where no chat line may have less than 64 consecutive ( and )'s. Meanwhile AWGate can engage the visitors. Yes, I know a fair few will be annoyed by this, and I know there is a substantially high probability of Lioness saying I need hugging :O oh wellz. -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com [View Quote] America, love it or leave it...(wait, I'll get you the door)Jul 27, 2005, 10:50pm
How many members of the Bush Administration are needed to replace a
lightbulb? The Answer is SEVEN: (1) One to deny that a lightbulb needs to be replaced, (2) one to attack and question the patriotism of anyone who has questions about the lightbulb, (3) one to blame the previous administration for the need of a new lightbulb, (4) one to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of lightbulbs, (5) one to get together with Vice President Cheney and figure out how to pay Halliburton Industries one million dollars for a lightbulb, (6) one to arrange a photo-op session showing Bush changing the lightbulb while dressed in a flight suit and wrapped in an American flag, (7) and finally one to explain to Bush the difference between screwing a lightbulb and screwing the country.

Now my admittedly lapse cover has been blown about SDK Alpha...
I know you won't all have it yet, but I would just like to give my personal account on how things have been going. Its good, very good. You can expect a lot more game worlds, and customisable features to become known as time goes on. However, the point of this is to let you all know how much work this has actually taken from AWI, its been rare that I been into the alpha universe and not seen Chris, or E N Z O, or Stacee, or Shamus etc working on the browser, and they have been working a * lot * on it (or so my spying would indicate), even at god forbidden times of the day like 5am in the morning. So, before it all starts coming out, this is my version of clapping for these guys (and Stacee =p) because they have done a damned hard job (and that includes putting up with me, and you know how difficult that can be). Credits-2-All. -- - Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com Active Worlds 4.1Jul 30, 2005, 5:28pm
