ZorKa makes National TV!

Today Zorka got on TechTv (channel 67 in Ann Arbor). I wasn't actually pictured but my quote made it on. I only got the very first part of it because I couldn't get to the avi quick enough in xawtv. Here is the snap shot of my TechTV debute. I only got my last name on the left side, and then the start of my quote, but at least that is proof.

Handspring Visor Syncing with Linux via USB

Today I was locked in my house due to having a slight case of the flu. During the times I wasn't sleeping and drinking Nyquil by the gallons I actually got my Visor USB device to syncronize with Linux. Follow my easy setup tips and join in on the fun. The quick and dirty Setup The first thing is to use kernel 2.4test? or use the latest stable release (currently 2.2.18). When you get to the USB section add the visor via a module and be sure you choose the correct driver for you motherboard. After you get the recompile done,...

Anonymous Player Revealed

It seems an anonymous player has been revealed who plays on ZorKa.Com's Q3F server. The ever so popular "Spork" has had his identity mask lifted. To save Spork's identity we will of course not mention his name here on ZorKa.Com since we belive in protecting each other's privacy. With that said, Spork must be killed and be killed quickly if you happen to be in the arena with him. He must suffer for his actions of being so mysterious and evasive.

3DFX Sells to nVidia

Talk about a turn of events. Just when you thought 3DFX was about to make a come back with their new release of the Voodoo 5000 we get hit with news like this. Today 3dfx announced a move to be purchased and absorbed by nVidia. All I want is a 100% compatible Linux video card that is 100% supported for gaming. I really don't care who makes it as long as it works. Hopefully something good will come out of it but we will not know for another few months. SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort...

Debian Pull Over - A definite must have, Debian Rules 3. GPS - You don't won't me lost do you? 4. Clock - Everyone needs a clock 5. Visor Modules - Help me upgrade my favorite toy, i'll take any of them, trust...

A few people wrote in and said on a few browsers they couldn't load the Quake stats. I fixed it and they look a lot better now as well.

My Favorite new TV Channel

I don't browse the TV channels to much however in my stumbling around the set tonight I came across my new favorite TV Channel called Tech TV. If you have already heard of it then pardon me for being behind the times. It seems to be run by ZDNET (which runs everything else in tech land nowadays). If you haven't checked it out, try and tune in, if you are in A2 then I think hit channel 67 and stay up on the latest in Geek news.

Squirt

Miester, Moonkhan, Interested1 were at Zorka's house tonight and it was 12:08 when Miester brought up squirt. Pretty funny stuff, too gross to tell on the public Internet :)
