Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Pocket PC

So, with the release of Quake 4 into the shops, we also received the announcement that id Software would release the source code to Quake 3 Arena under the GNU Public License.

Shortly afterwards, the nice people at NoctemWare took this code, loved it, nourished it and cherished it, before rather kindly porting it to the PocketPC. As such there is now no excuse for sitting in meetings pretending to take notes whilst in reality playing dull solitaire, not when you can sit and frag to your hearts content. Not having a PocketPC to check this out, I can't tell what the controls are like, but judging by the screenshots, it looks a pretty damn good alternative to staring at Excel spreadsheets, Powerpoint presentations or in fact doing any work at all.
