A Chinook cargo helicopter just hovered over the city, then lowered itself between buildings on what must've been Artillery Ground. Took off and flew away again a couple minutes later.

Darkfall reviews Darkfall Review
By Ingmar on Wednesday 6 May 2009, 13:06
So Darkfall got an amazingly crappy 2/10 from Eurogamer - turns out that the reviewer might've just not bothered and also made false claims to his employer about how long he really played the game for:
We checked the logs for the 2 accounts we gave Eurogamer and we found that one of them had around 3 minutes playtime, and the other had less than 2 hours spread out in 13 sessions. ... At no point did this reviewer spend more than a few minutes online at a time.
Even if the reviewers claim of having tried the game for 9 hours is true, that's a ridiculously short amount of time to review any MMORPG.
The drama develops.

Well? How many of these have you never heard of? And I'm not just talking about the spouses either.

Pimp my Terminal
By Ingmar on Friday 13 February 2009, 15:08
Inconsolata is a really good fixed-width font. I'm now using it for both Terminal.app and TextMate. I've also pimped Terminal.app with some SIMBL hacks. Blurminal is one of the very few cases where transparencies are useful in a desktop environment (usually they are reserved for Slashdot reading Linux kiddies who think usability is increased by adding works of H.R.Giger to every window frame).

Oh noes! Ingmar has a new blog. Well, don't count on it being updated any more often than the old one. At least not for long, usually.
Oh, you can still download SciTE-ez if you like (oddly enough it's still somewhat popular).

Adium binaries... and why PayPal sucks
By Ingmar on Wednesday 10 October 2007, 17:41
Here's
a build of todays Adium from the SVN repository because Bonjour wasn't working
properly in the 1.1 release and it does in this checkout (only negative thing
I've noticed was a prompt to upgrade Growl, even though it was already at the
most recent release, but there's an ignore button for that).
Also removed the PayPal donate link because PayPal sucks. Thanks for the two donations I've received by the way. The reason for removing it is that the PayPal system is not able to comprehend that people can move to other countries - so you can't change your country of residence, and neither can PayPal support. Instead they actually asked me to delete my account, which I promptly did. They also asked me to create a new one with the UK as residence, but I skipped that step. After all this was my second PayPal account, because on the first one my password randomly vanished from their records and they were unable to recover the account or the money. And no, I did not forget it (it was stored in Mac OS X' KeyChain) and neither was I careless with it or got phished or anything like that. I was told the money was still on the account and it would be transferred to my new account after a while, which of course never happened either.
