Nice, long, relaxing vacation. I took two of the last three weeks off work, and for the five days that I was in, I was digitizing video - so not as much work as fun! Just plopped a 250 GB SATA (geek) hard drive in the video edit suite to accomodate around 15 hours of footage that I have to capture, so now I’ve got nearly half a terabyte of storage in that beast. Sweet.

For details on my New Years, read the comprehensive entries on Reg and Hwan’s sites.

I just had to post this site I found while looking for Interactive Fiction engines (for text-based RPGs). ScummVM runs most LucasArts Adventure games on multiple platforms including Mac, PocketPC, PalmOS and even Dreamcast. If I had one of those, I’d be tempted to try. Since I have half a dozen Pentium 200MHz machines lying around my house, I don’t think it’s an issue to put together a fully compatible system that would run any LucasArts games without help from ScummVM. The idea’s still interesting.

Maybe if it gains popularity I can sell my old games on eBay?
