Teamspeak server back up

14 May 2008 In: From Gage

I got caught up in something else yesterday and the Teamspeak server rebuild ended up being pushed to the back burner. It’s back up now and ready for users.

I am taking down the Teamspeak server for a couple of hours to replace some hardware. It should be back up before this evening.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you heat doesn’t affect a computer. Heat took out the fan on the power supply and the server is now overheating.

Wow, new low for Clinton

12 May 2008 In: Gecko Rants

I’m not making this up, you can check it for yourself. In her latest Obama bashing campaign ad, her campaign has just pasted their own title over a news article that is about something entirely different than the headline suggests. Of course, here is the link so you can check it yourself.

Check this one out fast, as soon as this gets around I am sure she will have it taken down.

Really, really secure USB drive

12 May 2008 In: Computing

If James Bond carried a USB drive, this would probably be it. Outside your being a secret agent, this might be a little over kill.

IronKey: Meet The IronKey Secure Flash Drive

If you want some serious protection for your USB key, this thing is worth a look. The price is a little steep but I guess you are paying for all the tech that went into it.

Gears of War 2 Trailer

11 May 2008 In: Gaming, Video

Looks like it’s a gaming update night for me. Here is the GOW2 trailer that was released yesterday by Epic. My two favorites from the clip;
Using the enemy locust’s body as a shield and then snapping his neck before throwing him overboard (2:10 into video) and chain sawing off the head of another locust (2:38). Great!

Banjo Kazooie 360 Screen Shots leaked

11 May 2008 In: Gaming

I loved this series on the Nintendo and knew the next iteration was slated for the Xbox 360 but hadn’t seen anything other than a news release up to this point. If these are in game shots and not cut scenes, it’s looking like it will be worth playing.

Welcome to Roaming Gecko

The Gecko

Welcome to the last page on the Internet. This has to be the last page because I don’t think you would be here if it wasn’t. You have browsed to every other page on the Internet and now you are here because you have read everything else. Well, as long as you are here I will try to entertain you as best I can. Some of the things you might read about on this site will deal with computers, photography, gaming and rescue but I will undoubtedly rant on some off the wall topics every once in a while. So, sit back. Do a little reading on the minutiae of my life and hopefully you’ll get a good laugh out of it from time to time. I’d thank you for stopping by but we both know you didn’t have any where else to be! :)
