I need Testers
I like the idea of Port Knocking, and might actually work on it. A friend actually suggested setting it up so that you knock the ports at home, which trigger not a connection, but some form of X-10 control response like feeding the fish.

Yes, there are bigger dorks than me.

PS2 Online Review
1. Point Don’t Matter: I spent 30 minutes challenging people to drag races only to get declined over and over. It seems that everyone is so concerned with their online points, that they refuse to actually play the fucking game. For me, not playing sort of takes the fun out of online gaming. I think I’m going to change my online name to H0tCh1ck or Hug3Jugs to get some games going. Stupid 12 year olds.

2. Cheating Sucks: During the one race I actually got to play, the person that I was playing somehow disconnected both of us just before I crossed the finish line.

3. Technical issues abound: There were two to three instances where I couldn’t join games because the console said that I was already in one. If looking at a screen and trying to join a game is considered playing, then this it the least fun game since 52 card pickup.

Honestly, I find the online gaming to be more annoying than fun due to not only the idiots that you have to deal with, but the technical issues that prevent you from dealing with them in the first place. And at $40, the network adapter is a bit pricey for a device that allows merely the possibility of online play. What ever happened to the good old days where a copy of Quake II, a network card, and nice railgun guaranteed hours of frag filled fun?

It’s midnight. Do you know where your employee is? This ones still in the basement upgrading a server. Only another couple of hours. It’s actually kind of cool to have an empty building to yourself late at night. It’s so sterile.
