What a weekend!

I took 3 days off this weekend, needed a rest before a weekend of installing a new server at one of CTC's offices.

On Friday Sony had the SGD (Sony Gamers Day). There were plenty of promising titles shown. On the PS3 the best were Heavenly Sword, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, and Little Big Planet. On the PSP the best were God of War: Chains of Olympus, SOCOM Tactical Strike, and Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice.

On Saturday I was on the edge of my seat all day with the impending announcement of StarCraft 2. I spent most of the afternoon in the StarCraft Legacy chat room. IGN had constant updates throughout the event, and I reckon I refreshed that page every 2 minutes for over 3 hours. Anyways StarCraft 2 was announced and the website is up. StarCraft 2 is looking great, and I have heard they a shooting for a October '07 release! How awesome!


Stalkers terrorise a Terran base with their 'blink' ability.


Immortals are perfect vs Siege Tanks , but small arms own them, kinda odd, but a nice idea.

Battlecruisers make a return, and still suck..

Adding your Gravatar to Blogger

Image
Updated to correct dead links. I recently learned about Gravatar ( g lobally r ecognized avatar ). It's a pretty neat website that allows you to host an avatar and use it all over the web. Some blogging applications have support for Gravatar but Blogger doesn't (yet). I have found out how to get your Gravatar onto Blogger. Simply go to gravatar.com and sign up, then upload your avatar and assign it to your email address. If you don't know what to use as an avatar you could Simpsonize yourself like I did. Once that is done you will need the link to your gravatar, that isn't easily accessible from the gravatar website, but you can work it out. The URL starts like this: http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id= On the end of the url you need to put a MD5 hash on the end of it. Visit miracle salad to create your MD5 hash. On the miracle salad page simply enter the email you used to sign-up to Gravatar in the "string" text box and click "md5".

In addition to or as an alternative to creating client printers, XenApp and XenDesktop allow an Administrator to specify which network printers should be created within each session. This process is controlled using the "Session Printers" policy.

Use Session Printers and or Proximity Printing when you have one of the following scenarios: Thin Clients are used that cannot connect to network printers Laptop users roam throughout sites
