In a galaxy far, far away...

...thousands of virtual citizens and hunters died from a virtual plague.  Most humourous it is too.

Earlier today, I found and setup an RSS program that downloads all the relevant bits of news and info from a number of different sites, and shows them as short paragraph emails.  It's absolutely awesome; I get to stay up-to-date with the news, and don't have have to go through all the blogs individually to check for updates.  It doesn't notify on blog/post comments, but then I suppose that's probably a good thing as some places get loads and it would just be plain annoying to be alerted to such a minor thing.

And I know the following thing probably isn't exactly legal, but it's promoting the Sega Dreamcast nonetheless so there's still good in it - there's been talk of Chankast being a very good Dreamcast emulator for the PC.  The author says "..it's a tribute to the great DC [Dreamcast]."  I've yet to test it but it seems to support a great deal more games than any other emu (of which I know of two others).

Now, I must type up some cover-letters for jobs to feed my gaming habits.
