David Price (debategraph.org) visits DERI

We had a presentation at DERI today from David Price, one of the people behind the argumentation visualisation site Debategraph. Since modelling and visualising argumentative discussions is something that we have wanted to do in DERI with SIOC for some time, this talk was very interesting to us.

DM110 - Week 7 - Online Games / Machinima

Today's lecture was about online games and machinima, the art of making movies with games.

iPodLinux, iDoom, Videos / Unwanted Scratches on iPod nano

I was showing off my iPod nano (won at the Simile ISWC 2005 semantic bank competition) at the Cork geek bloggers' dinner recently: just got iDoom working yesterday (thanks for the link to it Brendan!) and was watching videos on it today after installing the latest kernel from iPodLinux.

IQ2CL Cheating Scandal

I was away for the final GI game last night (06/06/99) against LSD, so since I have _the power_, I decided to check in to the server this morning and see if the score was recorded in the server logs. Doing a search for LSD, I came across this snippet on Q2WAR2...

IGN Half-Life Servers

Testing out two HL servers on my machine at Cloud.IGN.ie:27015 (FFA) and 27016 (TFC). I'd see you there, but I don't have the full game (you can download the server version for free!).

IQ2CL Default Win

After getting a team together for our q2dm5 IQ2CL game on Sunday (23/05/99), our opponents TUK didn't show so we got a default win! Not sure if I should be happy or sad...

IQ2CL Losses for GI

It's been a tough few weeks for GI in the IQ2CL. We've lost all three of our games so far, which I guess could be put down to a lack of practice for (and knowledge of, in my case!) the Quake 2 levels involved.

First loss was to DzR on q2dm1 (25/04/99), losing 132 to 50, the second was to HIV on q2dm2 (02/05/99), losing 119 to 22, and last week's (16/05/99) scores are shown below.

VWep with SeP

An interesting photo shoot took place on ffa1.quake.ie:27501 this morning with photographer SeP and QuakeWorld's new VWep model, Cloud-Schiffer. If you're interested in getting this exclusive new evening wear for yourself, you can order it now from our new online catalogue at ftp.quake.ie and hang it in your very own "quakevwep" wardrobe (check out vwep.txt in the file vwep.zip for more details).

Spud's Last Day

Thanks to all who showed up for Spud's testimonial last night. We had a great turn out from Spud's former clans GI, CP and Moo. On IRC we had a special guest from Stanford, Poor_Monkey... Spud was really chuffed to see him too! Some of the other people who turned up to say hello yesterday included DC-Carnage, DC-MNK, DC-Nightwing (had to go off :/), CP-Lucifer, Granny-Moo, ^Spud-Moo, WHA-Bunny, SPG-Baggins and SPG-Toast. Thanks also to Hakeem for providing us with the SK practice server at the last minute to play on.
