Today, I decided to try one of my previous favorite foods. Just to taste it again.. because I remember it as being delicious. I’m talking about hamburgers here; But not just any hamburger. The most juicy meat, soft & sweet (not sweet like sugar) bread, salad and various dressings. Continue reading

Is the glass half full or half empty?
There’s a glass on the table. 50% of its total volume is filled with water. Is this glass half-full or half-empty?
Dragon Age: Origins: Maximized Windowed Mode & Anisotropic Filtering
I like playing games in windowed mode, preferably with the game taking up the entire screen.
When I set the game to windowed mode & resolution 1920×1200, some of the display area goes outside the edge of the screen, because this resolution does not account for the borders added by the window manager.
To solve this, you need to go to your documents, Bioware, Dragon Age, Settings. Copy DragonAge.ini to somewhere safe, then edit it. These settings are for my GUI (Win7 with various default-available eyecandy):
[VideoOptions]
FullScreen=0
ResolutionWidth=1920
ResolutionHeight=1170
If you want to enable Antisophic Filtering, try adding the following line in that section:
AnisotropicFilteringLevel=nn
Replace nn with the level you want (1,2,4,8 or 16)
Worms Reloaded
I’ve played some Worms Reloaded. This is how a followup-game should be: It’s exactly like the original with some graphics updates and some new weapons, a better landscape generator, better customization of your team, etc.

Games: Broadcast Stream moved
For some reason, the old link didn’t show recently updated videos. I’ve updated it with another one which seems to work as expected. :)
Online Poking
I randomly poke people I know, on the internet, from time to time. Some times I want to talk with them, other times I do it just for the sake of doing it. Some people think I have some special interest in them when I do this, others think I *must* have a reason.. Because nobody does anything without a reason, right?
If you’re one of those that need a reason for everything, think of it as this: I recognize you exist.
Have this ever happened to you?
I’ve had to come up with ridiculous excuses for things from time to time, mostly regarding that hideous guy asking me out or something similar. So this Dilbert strip is amongst my favorites for that reason.
Have you had any situations where you’ve had to come up with an excuse which just makes things worse?
