LinCity   18 Nov 05

LinCity is a cool free Linux game. LinCity-NG is a City Simulation Game. It is a polished and improved version of the classic LinCity (www.floot.demon.co.uk/lincity.html) game. Within the scope of the GoTM project (happypenguin.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1243) at happypenguin (happypenguin.org) we have created a new iso-3D graphics engine, with a completely redone and modern GUI.

Enjoy and help the project! Oh boy, I do feel young again :-).

We got no strategy   31 Oct 05

I simply love today’s Dilbert. It is so realistic.

I have seldom seen common sense strategy. Most companies rely on luck and have close to no strategy, or they go for the lunatic strategy.

 >FWIW, I didn't find it insulting.  I was offering my (somewhat
 >> educated) viewpoint.

 I knew that education would get you in trouble someday.
 If you were a dropout like some of us, we wouldn't be having all
 these communication problems.

 That's why I like to work with people who know they're idiots. It's
 just so much easier on all of us.

 If they're an idiot and they know it, I can work with them.

 If they know they're an idiot and they turn out to be smart, so much
 the better.

 If they're an idiot and don't know it, I know I don't want to work
 with them.

 And if they're not an idiot and they know they're not an idiot, I
 don't want to work with them. Why make someone like that suffer?
 After all you'd have to be an idiot to want to work with me.

I was once on a project where the customer realized only after 1.5 months that they want us to modify an application that does not even exist at that company. You really makes you wonder what goes on in big companies .. Great Dilbert comic

FreePop   20 Feb 05

Do you remember the days around 1990 we used to play Populous for days?

FreePop is a computer game based on the classic Populous I and II games by Bullfrog Productions. It is currently in development and aspires to be a great improvement on the original games, being a fitting gift to the open source community, as well as a part of the open source community.

OK, So What’s Populous?

For those of you who were trapped in a small dark room during the late 1980’s and 1990’s, or otherwise similarly deprived, Populous is a series of games developed by Bullfrog Productions which created the god-sim genre. The premise is that you (the player) and your opponent (AI or human) are gods or equivalent deities, and you battle each other using your powers - such as the summoning of natural disasters and the ability to coax the will of your followers - in order to destroy the followers of the opponent. The winner is the god with remaining followers.
