+title: Two Updates, One Month!
+---
+
+It's unbelievable, but true. I guess I'm trying to be cool like
+<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom Gilbert</a> and update my
+page more than <a href="http://www.gladstone.uoregon.edu/~timfinch/">
+Tim Finch</a> (sorry Tim -- you knew it was coming :P). I finally
+updated the <a href="projects/">Projects</a> page; check it out for
+some more recent projects I've been involved in, and some more
+Linux- and UNIX-related scripts and programs.
+<br /><br />
+
+I decided to set up
+a temporary <a href="http://www.quake3arena.com">Quake 3 Arena Demo</a>
+server on my home computer. Id software does a checksum comparison
+on the PK3 file before loading the demo server, so I couldn't modify
+any of the bots or levels, but I did hack together some interesting
+demo server modifications with some shell-trickery and a quick Perl
+script. Essentially, Quad Damage does _no_ damage (because quad is
+for losers), getting armor temporarily doubles gravity or changes the
+knock-back on certain weapons, and getting mega-health halves
+gravity (which wreaks havoc when you're playing Q3DM17). Again, I
+don't know how often it'll be active, but here's the info in case
+you're interested:<br /><br />

+<tr><td>Server:</td><td> Pablo's Wacky Fun House</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Host:</td><td>pabs.dhs.org</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Info:</td><td>Q3D-DM: Q3DM7, Q3DM17</td></tr>
+</table></center>
+<br /><br />
+
+Let me know if you've got any suggestions or are interested in my
+dedicated server scripts (eventually I'll post 'em to the Projects
+section, but first I need to clean up and comment the code).
+<br /><br />
+
+I think I'm headed to the
+<a href="http://www.linuxworldexpo.com">Linux World Expo</a> in
+San Jose this August. I don't have a place to stay yet, but travel
+and financing seems to be covered. My first LWE -- exciting!
