    Need suggestions for dinner! Definitely not bangers and mash. Going to be working on the forum upgrade all night.

      Buy one of those sub sandwiches at the supermarket. I don't think this will appear in the US anytime soon: http://www.hotcan.com/uk/beanz-balls.html

    Ooooo version 3.4.3 of the forum was finally released. Time to work on upgrading this forum from 3.3.4! May need more pizza tonight.

      why is that?

      Ran into an issue setting up another domain on this new server. Hopefully it will be resolved soon--there are other things I can do in the meantime! Like merge all my changes into the new codebase.

      hopefully it will be fixed :)

    NO thank you, iTunes, I most certainly do not want to BUY the (questionable, I know) movie Battleship for $19.99, but I wouldn't mind RENTING it. Too bad that's not an option!

    1. goldenegg

      I have two issues with digital copies of movies. The first is lower quality, compared to BD, which is highly noticeable on a high-end display. The second is DRM. If I could purchase a digital copy with the same quality of BD and DRM free, I'd move all my movie purchases to digital only.

    2. Albert

      Albert

      Agreed on both counts--I'd much rather have a BD copy of a movie, and some of the DRM is ridiculous. And as I mentioned above, I feel prices of digital movies versus physical media (which often have additional features) are way out of line.

    3. KevinMos3

      KevinMos3

      WOW! Just Wow! $19.99 for a digital copy? That's obscene! So let me get this straight, they want to put nothing in your hands, completely control what devices you can watch it on, and charge the same as a DVD or BD? Sheesh!

    I love how when an ink tank is empty, my printer states, "Replacing the ink tank is recommended." Uhrr, sure, I guess, recommended IF I WANT TO PRINT ANYTHING ELSE!

    1. mmervine

      Please run...don't walk...to Staples and get some new cartridges...that's what pays my bills!

    2. Albert

      Albert

      Most of my printer supplies I cannot find at local office supply stores. There are only two Staples in Austin and neither of them are close to me.

    Tempest 2000 soundtrack while shipping Tempest 5200 orders seems appropriate.

    1. Albert

      Halo also has a good soundtrack. :)

      Great soundtrack. I listen to it sometimes when I'm coding.

      I've grown tired of this server. When do we get a new one?

      Random Terrain has yet to post in this status. This means the AA bot hasn't been updated with the server!

    Email problems with the forum should be fixed as of 6pm CST today. if you're still not getting emails from that point forward, please let me know and I'll investigate.

    1. Albert

      Albert

      That is odd, considering I didn't do anything. I bet it's DNS related.

    2. CyranoJ

      CyranoJ

      I wouldn't be surprised. Give it 24 hours :)

    3. Albert

      Albert

      I set TTL to five minutes well before moving the domain, but I can't help it if bad ISPs ignore that information and cache the DNS information for much longer. :(

    1. Albert

      Yes, I did switch it early this afternoon. That went smoothly. :) Should overall be much more responsive, except when I do boneheaded things like I did a few minutes ago.

    Moving the site today to the new server! There will be some downtime for the forums when this occurs.

    Watching "House of Cards" on Netflix while building Halo 2600 carts. I have to say, I love Kevin Spacey.

    1. SoulBlazer

      I've seen them advertise that quite heavily. How are you liking it?

    2. Albert

      I'm very much enjoying it. I'm on episode six so far.

    3. Rik

      Rik

      They filmed a movie for Netflix just behind where i live this fall. Yeah, Spacey is a great actor for sure.

  16. Albert

    Guess I'll be working on that new server this weekend.

    1. NE146

      So is the new server a Commodore 64?

    Tempest for the Atari 5200, completed by the original programmer at Atari, is now available in the AtariAge Store! http://t.co/UV0UHYG3

    1. SRGilbert

      SRGilbert

      Sweet!

  21. Albert

    Just ordered a new server for AtariAge. Much faster processors, considerably more disk space (RAID 10 even!) and 24GB of RAM versus the pittance 4GB the current server has. AtariAge should scream!

    I've added Tempest 5200 to the store: http://www.atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1014

      AtariBrian

      And to think I didnt want to buy it until i saw a gameplay vid of it . How do the stock 5200 controllers work with this ?

    2. Albert

      Albert

      They work very well--in fact, I prefer them to the Trak-Ball as I have more fine control and can whip around the playfield very fast when need be! This is one game where the 5200 analog controllers are a big asset!

    Trying to get international shipping working after USPS changed everything on Sunday is driving me nuts. The term "going postal" seems appropriate.

    1. Classic Pac

      Classic Pac

      Shipping something international is always crazy.

    2. Albert

      Albert

      I just fixed the problem, took much longer than it should have. Thank you very much USPS, I hate you.

  25. Albert

    Oh how I love diving into USPS Rates Calculators API Reference Version 1.5 to fix broken rate calculations in the store.
