Happy New Year! -- 2:27 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Allow me to be the first to welcome you to 2003. I've got things kind of picked up after our New Year's Eve party. I'm running on adrenaline now. Go Wolverines!

CS:CZ Preview -- 4:14 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

sCary posted his preview of CounterStrike: Condition Zero. It looks like it will be interesting to CS fans, but beyond that the jury's still out. The thought of single-player CS is kind of appealing to me, although I've found multiplayer CS to be quite tedious. We'll see what Ritual does with this. You have to wonder how this will turn out, since it is using a VERY old engine and the game has been passed from Rogue to Gearbox to Ritual.

NFL Week #17, Season #3 Final -- 11:01 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

As we draw week #17 of the NFL season and season #3 of our picks to a close, I come out victorious 11-5 whilst Eeyore ended her late-season tear at 10-6. My record for the year is 162-93-1 (.633) while Eeyore finished 155-100-1 (.605). Here's a little table to show how we've done over these three years:

Year	A.T. Hun	Eeyore
2002	162-93-1 (.633)	155-100-1 (.605)
2001	150-98 (.605)	141-107 (.569)
2000	161-87 (.649)	132-101 (.566)
Overall	473-278-1 (.629)	428-308-1 (.581)

Note: Eeyore did not pick the first week's games in 2000. She has improved steadily. This year, I got the most wins ever and rebounded from last year's poor showing, although the first year was still my best on a percentage basis. Until next season . . .

Also note: this table looks much better in our new layout.

Happy New Year's Eve! -- 9:30 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

A happy New Year's Eve to all of (both of?) our readers from The Haus staff. Be extra cautious tonight. If you are going to be drinking, bribe someone to be the designated driver. We don't need anyone to become a statistic.

Fixing Mandrake's Christmas Present -- 12:51 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Mandrake released updated versions of urpmi right before Christmas for versions 8.1, 8.2, and 9.0 of their Linux distribution. Upgrading renders urpmi and MandrakeUpdate unusable. Thanks guys! Here's how to fix it:

1. Log in as root
2. Run urpmi.removemedia -a
3. Fire up drakconf and go to Software Management-> Software Sources Manager-> Add
4. One by one, mount all the Mandrake CDs and enter the information under "Removable device" (I used "Installation #1, #2, and #3" for the names and just /mnt/cdrom for the path)
5. Click on "Mandrake Update" to update as usual

This should un-hose your urpmi so both it and MandrakeUpdate will function properly again. Thanks for the present, guys!
