| Hey folks, We're going to be moving servers around (sounds like fun for a Friday), so we're going to have an outage today (2001-01-26) at 6:00pm for 20 minutes (maybe less). So...please don't despair, we'll be back very shortly (with more bracketed comments). UPDATE: We're done, took slightly longer than we expected, but it went pretty smoothly overall. No further outages are expected. Kickstart

| [Illiad] SOMETHING WICKED, SOMETHING COOL | Date:Wed Jan 24 23:35:01 2001 |
When I was sent this link and watched the first few seconds, I thought to myself "what in the name of nasty boil puckers is this garbage??!" Then I was hooked. Having grown up with old Atari games, this Quicktime movie just had me enraptured. It's kind of visual pixel poetry. and the one segment that is clearly 3D is worth watching the entire thing. Here be the link. You need Quicktime and audio to really appreciate it. Thanks Latheos.

| [Illiad] KUNG HEI FAT CHOI! (HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!) | Date:Wed Jan 24 11:09:06 2001 |
 In actuality, "Kung Hei Fat Choi" doesn't mean "Happy New Year" in Cantonese. A fairly close translation is "happiness and good fortune to you," an auspicious wish for the first day of the Chinese Lunar Calendar.Enter the Year of the Snake, and exit the Year of the Dragon (which according to Chinese astrology, is usually a year filled with often unpredictable events. Who knew about chads and Florida?) To top off the Chinese new year, why not see what your name would look like in Chinese? Happiness and Good Fortune!
