Wow, I caught that one right away, guess you and I are the only 1337 5p34k Haxorz here... ;)

Yeah, that reminds me, where the hell are all your news postings? :D

I just wanted to take a moment to announce that MrMudd has decided to step down from his Flight Sim Editor role here at Biohaz as of March 5 to pursue other projects. While we didn't always see eye to eye on things, I want to personally thank him for his contributions here at Biohaz these past 8 months, and the staff and I wish him the best on his future endeavors. His writing and unique perspective was well received and always looked forward to by both staff and members. I'm sure you will see him around the web. ;)

I didn't say run the server, only help manage it. ;) FSHost allows remote management, including flight plans, etc. I just don't have time to deal with it at the moment with everything else in need of attention, but I really want to have the MP server available to Biohaz users, thus the reason for the plea of help.

Just a FYI to all the MSFS guys, the Server is back online and running. I've created an auto-update script that should keep things up and running full-time now, but let me know if it doesn't. I would like to find some volunteers to help manage the server as well as come up with new and interesting flight plans for the weekly fly-in. Anyone out there willing to help out?

PC, the file descriptions were there for all the above files, but not the files themselves. Must have been a glitch with the upload script. Can you send them up again and I'll get them posted asap?

Tell me about it. This winter has really taken a toll on me, I'm way to heavy. Rejoined the YMCA and started working out again this week, felt good to get back in the old routine.

In case you haven't noticed, I've been conspicuously absent the past month or so, and I'm sure maybe one or two have been wondering what's up. :D I apologize to all for my lack of presence, but real life work has kept my seriously busy the past two months. We had a major acquisition that came to be in late February, so I've been eating/sleeping/breathing work the last month or so. The good news is it's finally over and I actually have time to read me mail and log on to the site now. For a few weeks there I got to a point where I was too tired to even come downstairs to check email for a week at a time. So for those of you that emailed me and didn't get a reply, I haven't been ignoring you on purpose. :D Things should be getting back to normal now, and I'll be working through a long list of site to-do's this weekend. I'm also working on a few surprises that I hope to share soon, but I'll hold off on that until I'm a little farther along in the process. It's good to be back!

Actually it was a 2003 MOC course, we got a bunch of free vouchers from our MS rep so I figured I would use a couple. I'm on the Certification treadmill again this year (skipped 2000 cert as I was too busy consulting) and am currently working on my 2003 MCSE certs as well as a GIAC Sec cert, and updating my Citrix cert, and my brain is in overload. Next up (hopefully) is TechEd in San Diego this year.

SO I was delayed a little... ;) I had the flu all last week after our conversion weekend, then this week I've been at a Microsoft Tech Conference. Hopefully this weekend will be partially free, but I'm not going to promise anything anymore, since something else always seems to happen.

So I'm not the only one that is totally freaked out by this commercial? The amazing thing to me is that a group of people sitting around a table all sat there and decided, "Yes, this is exactly the commercial we are looking for to sell our sandwiches", all with a straight face.

I haven't had a chance to work on it yet. I've been swamped at work for weeks getting ready for this weekend's bank conversion. Yes, I have to work all weekend... :( Starting next week I should be back on my regular schedule and have some time to get things fixed.

Sorry guys, been buried in work the last few weeks. I'll try and get something posted next week, as I'm working all weekend. :(

I missed the damn thing, had gone out to make a sandwich and get a drink. I didn't know anything about it until this morning while checking out the news online. I stuck to the TV for a bunch of good commercials that never came, and missed the only non-game event worth watching. :D The game sure was a good one however, especially since it as two teams I didn't give a rip about.

Just wanted everyone to know the file area is back online and you can resume your downloading. It was the LoMan 1.52 file that did us in last month, over 50% of our total bandwidth. I'm currently looking at some ways to help this from happening again this week, including a change to Powweb, who has a great package that has 5Gb transfers per day (Thanks for the tip Dueces) to limiting downloads to site members only.

Is this the Mountain Home AFB crash?

The Lanboy would probably be better if you are in a dorm room, like I said, this thing is pretty bright in a dark room. :D

Finally got my replacement CPU and new case tonight and just finished swapping everything over, so I'm finally back up and running! I should be answering emails and such regularly once again, and I apologize to all that have been trying to email me the past two weeks with delayed answers. ;)

After frying the ol' CPU last week while I was out of town, I ordered a new XP2400+ to replace it, as well as a new case from NewEgg. I was getting tired of looking at my old modded case, so I picked this on up. It's an Aspire X-Dreamer II. I paid $54 for it, and I am extremely happy with the case. two quiet LED fans, the front panel has the LED's as well, nice finish, good construction (not as sturdy as my old Inwin500) and a really nice CPU temp sensor readout on the front panel. You can see the case specs here: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-144-025&depa=1 The pics don't do the case justice. The LED's are REALLY bright, as in blindingly so if you look directly at them. The paint job is pretty good, and the acrylic on the front really sets off the lights. Looks awesome with all the lights off, lights up the whole damn room. You wouldn't want to have to sleep in the same room. :D The CPU Temp guage is pretty accurate, it's reading 2 degrees lower than my MB Bios, so it's almost dead-on. There are a lot of other nice features, like 2 stealth CD-ROM covers that hide your ugly beige fronts, one for the floppy as well, and no sharp edges (I didn't cut myself once swapping everything into the new case, for a change). I know, this was the lazy way to mod a case, but I'm happy. :P

Thought I got all the different icons converted, looks like one snuck by me. On the list... :D

We've used up all our 50Gb of bandwidth on the file domain. Looks like we are done until month-end. Sorry folks, but these damn 25Mb skins are really killing us...

Do a quick search on eBay, you'll find one there.

On the side of my paintball tank is this one: "grab a straw, cause you suck"

Same here, on the "to-do" list...

Ghostdog's right, the ball is in my court and I'm currently dropping it. :D I've been out of town for almost a week and barely got on my PC the week before due to other commitments, so this one's squarely my fault. I should have some time this weekend to do some catch-up.
