  1. What is interesting to me is that BoA worked prior to this once scenario being added to the data folder. Something weird happened. It would be nice to see a complete set of steps taken, and try to duplicate this problem. Of course, I don't run Vista, so tongue

    Thanks for letting me know!

    The later version of the beta only made on change, to how the fonts were loaded. The way I did it before made me suspicious that it was causing problems, but I was never actually able to demonstrate that it was the culprit. Now I know, and I'll handle that bit of code in the new, better way in the future.

    Hope you enjoy the game, and thanks much for your patience ...

    Jeff - After my computer exited this world, I bought a new motherboard with integrated OpenGL support. Sadly, it (the driver for that integrated chipset) failed to work with Windows 2000, so I thought I was out of luck. I took a chance with Ubuntu, and had 100% success, including a chipset driver, and a working installation of Geneforge 5, running under the most current version of Wine. I must say I'm excited to finally be able to play the game, and wish to again thank you for your customer service.
  3. I love the words used, since they sharpen the divide between the well educated scientists exploring and studying the climate, and the Holiday Inn Express types that try to understand them.

  4. I have the same issue.

    VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP

    512M Ram

    This box is a year old. I am astounded that even with fresh drivers that I can't get it to work. Brand new drivers all around, and nothing. frown

  5. I met the guy while I lived in Bangor. He was very intelligent, after all he's a BoSox fan, but he seemed very distracted all the time. It was like he was thinking a dozen things at once, only one of which had anything to do with the corporeal. It's been 20 years now, I imagine he's changed a little in the interim, but I've also not read one of his books in that time. I did read part of his first Dark Tower book, but lost interest somewhere around the time that some idiot brought a nuke back to the base camp. Maybe that was the end, I dunno, but that is the bit I remember. Anyhow, I'll try that series again, because as what SoT says is most always accurate, he might be even more scatterbrained now, and that would show in his writing.

  6. Too late for a new thread, as this isn't something I read, but some music I heard. Live music. Highly recommend a gal named Laura Marling (website eponymous (dot com) plus at myspace, also eponymous) and her backing band, especially Marcus (drummer/accordian/backup vocals). Great fun at the show, small venue (Lola's in PDX) and about 50 - 75 at the show. She was the final of 3 acts, all from England, over for a 3 week bus tour. Last chances are Seattle on Oct 1, and then Quebec or Toronto before they return to the islands via Aberdeen Scotland.

     

    The first band, Mumford & Sons, was also phenomenal, with surprising sounds from a three piece. If I had to describe the vocals, it would be "dusky," but I suck at that game. Keyboards were good, and bass was great. In fact, all the string work was great from all three groups. The second group was Johnny Flynn, which I sadly found to be a little predictable. Still, enjoyable, but when bracketed thusly, it was obvious that they lacked some spark which was evident in the other groups.

     

    Now, according to Laura, they are all feeling a bit logy, having shared a bus for 2 weeks, and being exposed to folks from Allston Mass all the way to SanFran and now points north, so actual quality may be better than I report. The three groups seem to be having great fun together, and seem like they are having a blast. They tore up the dance floor tonight, inspiring the dreaded hippies of Portland to shake those locks and stamp their Birks.

     

    Quite a sight.
