Wolf section updates

nospam@example.com (antman) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 16:16:09 +0200

Just added ET Minimizer Pro 0.24 and ET-Statistics to the tools page under the wolf section of the site.

ET Minimizer Pro 0.24 minimizes a list of most Quake III based games. Supported games are: Wolfenstein 2009 (MP), ET:QW, ET, RtCW, Q3 (ioQuake, ChallengeQ3 up to 1.47), OpenArena, Jedi Academy, SoF2, Half-life 2, Doomsday Engine. It's possible to add support for games through gamelist.txt.

ET-Statistics is a little tool for the game "Enemy Territory". If you are taking statistics of your games, ET will save these in the "stats" folder of your mod, round per round, so you can see how well you did at that time. If you are however interested in your overall stats, you have to bring these statistics together. This is exactly what ET-Statistics does; It will mine trough every single statistic and output an unified statistic of every game you played. Usage: Place it in your ET folder, it will then automatically choose your ET Pro stats folder, press OK and - there you go.

Many thanks to David "Anthales" Roth for letting me know about these nice programs that he has coded.

Direct download links to both:

ET-Statistics.zip

2009 Darwin Awards

nospam@example.com (antman) — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:22:19 +0200

Just updated the best of the 2009 Darwin Awards to the jokes section of the pages. Even though the Darwin Awards are not really jokes, they're so hilarious that I just have to have them on the jokes section of the site. You can read the newly added 2009 Darwin Awards here.

If you are not familiar with the Darwin Awards, those are simply in honor of Charles Darwin, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool... by accidentally removing themselves from it. This award is generally bestowed posthumously. You might also want to check out The Darwin Awards website.

Traditional Winter Cruise 2010

nospam@example.com (antman) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:01:33 +0200

It had been five years since our previous winter cruise to Stockholm, so we decided to revive the tradition and head to the capital of Sweden once again. The cruise went well as you can see on the newly added photos of the cruise. We had almost the same posse as on our two previous trips to Tallinn. Only change was that Jari was there with us instead of Jyri. The whole cruise posse was: Antti "antman on kusipää" Manninen, Jari "toi on maailman kaunein nainen" Väänänen, Sami "Rave pilaa aina meidän reissut" Luoto and Tero "vuoden mulkku" Puumalainen.

Passed validation

nospam@example.com (antman) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:37:49 +0200

All small bugs in the code have now been fixed and all pages have been validated with the W3C Markup Validation Service. At the same time I went through the CSS and it has also now been validated with the W3C CSS Validation Service. This means that there shouldn't be any bugs on the code itself, but in case you find anything out of place, let me know.

Keepin' it simple

nospam@example.com (antman) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:30:48 +0200

A long time has passed since the previous update on the pages so I decided to change everything (again) at once. The site has a new layout, which is much simpler than the previous one. The layout change is not the only change I made, even though the content is pretty much the same it used to be. Main changes are on the code, now there is only the top menu, which is created with jQuery Multi Level CSS Menu. This means that I also changed the JavaScript library on the site from script.aculo.us to jQuery. After a brief testing everything seems to work fine, but in case you discover any bugs on the site, please let me know.

Boredom sets into your boring mind

nospam@example.com (antman) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:13:46 +0300

As the visitors of this site have probably noticed, I don't tend to write anything personal on this blog. Well, I just decided to write something since I'm really bored at work. I still have one week and one day left of work before the summer vacation kicks in and then I don't need to come to work for a month. July is so quiet time here at work with nothing creative to do, so basically I'm just surfing the net and spending time as best as I can. The good part is that the vacation is still ahead and not already spent. Most probably there won't be any updates coming on the site during August since I'll be away from home most of the time anyway.
