Read Blake Crouch’s Run the other day. It was a brutal book and only recommended if you’re in the mood for something that gets the heart pounding. It’s really heavy.

Working on prepping for the upcoming cold blast. Weather report is not consistent with precipitation. The weekly forecast says 20% but the hourly says 80% so it’s pretty confusing.…[Read more]

LAA flag is just a setting for the linker in the 32 executable code, PrgLnch will set it for sure.

Geocities
There was another site derived from GeoCities with numbers in the name, 777 or 888, Los Angeles? based, not listed as a free home page like these:
<table border=”0″ width=”90%” cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″…[Read more]

That was years ago, around 2016 or so? Something like that. The fix was to move the HUD to the center monitor and adjust the FOV in the INI file. The issue was a sluggish UI that went away when only a single monitor was used. After making those adjustments, the game worked pretty normally. 🙂

I think the LAA flag needs to be used like Skyrim with…[Read more]

Sounds like it’s something with some of the embedded ads. 🙁

Yeah, dealer fees are a bit insane. Unfortunately, we have laws that prevent manufacturers from running their own dealers so that the individual dealers don’t get priced out. Yep, the dealers lobbied for such treatment. And, if you try to special order something, it can get complicated.…[Read more]

Sorry, been tired again. Probably just trying to take on too much.

Anyways! Yeah, let’s try to contact them. Dave did say I could use a fork but didn’t have the details handy so that may be permission from him on that front.

Without a license in the code, it means that anyone who wants to work on our version, even though we got permission, would…[Read more]

Boing-Boing don’t like the host listings, so up goes a blocker/wall without a booiiing sound effect. Luckily, you can clear the cache and cookies, then, in reloading the page, quickly hitting stop before the wall comes up again. Yes, its hilarious, sort of thing one would find in TikTok. 😛
Haven’t seen many – if any – of those in this country,…[Read more]

Do remember seeing that, Laurie chucked in a few goodies in like the familiar Also sprach Zarathustra, later “stolen” by Kubrick’s gang:

The Two Faces of January (film) is a classy production around a rather mean plot line. The sets, the acting, the scenes and the music are are all to die for!

One fine orchestrator for film scores is Alberto Iglesias – here’s the main titles from The Two Faces of January:

Here’s one from Broken Embraces with cool still-image warping visuals on the…[Read more]

I don’t care how crappy the aerodynamics are, this car looks awesome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delahaye_135

Most cars these days lack originality in their designs! They all look the same! Except for the ones that cost five digits. Granted, even those use practically the same design: a rounded triangle 😛

Will update the other thread later but it looks like my charging issues are related to a wonky outlet. Lamp worked but the chargers didn’t. Now the chargers work on that outlet so it sounds like it wasn’t putting out enough current or voltage. Going to need to get it tested. Could do it myself but I don’t want to risk shocking myself on a live…[Read more]

Not sure I can get it here but will take a look 🙂

Haven’t seen it in a few years so I’m going to get Dr Strangelove on the list for a rewatch. It’s an incredible film!

Can contact Nimrod if you like, although we’re not sure whether he received explicit permission in the first place, see the post. The project is so old, there’s a good chance no-one will be worried about it all that much. Does Nimrod’s licence permit a third party copying his code, and then attributing his work in the updated project?

Okay, just did some digging to try and clear up what happens when a license isn’t applied and came across this post. Basically, even though Dave intended the original to be Apache or MIT but, since he didn’t explicitly mention the licenses in the project, we can’t go ahead and use Nimrod’s fork because they didn’t apply a license to their own work…[Read more]

Just curious, from the other thread, does PrgLnch help any with the monitors?

This Catch Me a Killer series is quite engrossing consider the number and scale of serial killings in South Africa at the time. It stars Charlotte Hope, a seasoned actor notable from Bancroft season 2, as the lead investigative psychologist.
In the episode The Phoenix Strangler: Part II, she relates to her companion an old story of persistence and…[Read more]

This came in the other day: https://boingboing.net/2025/01/12/synchronized-ice-skaters-dressed-as-giant-ice-skates.html

😀

The main quest is only eight hours long but it has been confirmed that an expansion is in the works. 😛

Yeah, the Scream films are fun. Lot of great satire in them, too! Haven’t seen many past 3 or so. The newest and oldest ones are available but not the middle ones and I don’t like skipping installments 🙁

Another candidate for physical media?…[Read more]

That repository looks better but there isn’t a license associated with the code. Any way we can contact them to see about getting permission to use their fork?

Yeah, we can use the project files to extract the includes and add them into the C++ source. That’s what I did with the BOSS code. 🙂

Still need to finish setting up my Geany workspace.…[Read more]

Cool, going to watch for that, yeah it’s Amazon Prime, so could do it on the 30 day free trial.
Back to slashers briefly, Scream VI on FTA presented plenty of excitement, thrills and spills, the violence is rampant, as expected for the franchise. Watching this through and after dinner is not recommended for the squeamish, could also be this viewer…[Read more]

I’d leave Dave’s for the moment, Nimrod actually has the solution, however conversion of the vcproj to vcxproj is the first port of call. All the included files will be in there – have you got to that stage yet?
Re-arranging the dir structure is critical, as you know.
