Well guys, just finishing off beer #4 (4x regular Kronenbourg 1664 tonight), just had a damn good game in BF2 in Gotland #04 (I think) in Karkand. There was this guy called pawe06 (175115216) I think he's Swedish, so that's why I'll forgive him to not responding to my calls of "PAWE HEAL ME YOU DOUCHEBAG!" and "PAWE FUKCKING HEAL ME DICKBREATH!", anyway he's a lance corporal, and to be fair, he did start healing and reviving. Anyway, BF2 fucking crashed to desktop, although it was a veeeery long round, I got some good points in.

I am sat here listening to Metallica (The Four Horsemen) and drinking Jack Daniels from the bottle. Merry Christmas and all that. Anyway, I want to rant tonight about the Krauts(Germans) of BF2. For some inexplicable reason, they seem to think they are exempt from the ROE that all BF2 server admins have to abide by. I was on one server a couple of days ago called =SOW=, it was a vehicle Karkand server, yet you were kicked for stepping into an APC, tank or anything which wasn't a a car. Of course, being a German server, C4 and claymores were verboten, as were commanders. Another thing... this 'GGC', the German players of BF2 have resorted to creating their own 'Aryan' master ban list used by many German servers, they seem to think they are above Punkbuster/PBbans etc, perhaps this is an indication of a deep, intrisic desire of Germans to control everything they can, much like some certain events which happened between 1939 and 1945, anyway....

I'd also like to stick two fingers up to our Yank friends at ICANN, yes, I am sticking two fingers up at their policy of insisting those who register domains under their jurisdiction are up-to-date with genuine WHOIS contact details. I think that sucks for people with .com/.net/.org domains who want to keep their name and address details private, we have laws in this country to keep that sort of stuff private, and with .uk domains you do have the option to hide this information, thank you Nominet, USA take note! Anyway, speaking of domains, my invoice is ready for my next year of hosting, I am very pleased with my current hosts and will be renewing for another year for the bargain price of £60.

Looking forward to 2009, good times are ahead, I can feel it! It's amazing, it's been nearly a year since I first registered HWDN, I remember having so many plans for it, although priorities have now changed, but HWDN and Hellwrath are as relevant as ever! I am now at about 35,000 points in BF2, I look forward to getting to Sergeant Major, I'm about 15,000 points away, you can usually find me in EAF or uKm Karkand servers ammo whoring away! Anyway guys, this will probably be the last post of 2008, happy Christmas and see you later, I've got some whiskey to drink!

Currently listening to Floorpunch....

Hmmmm Friday, which means beer and BF2! I am now in the top 100,000 players in BF2, had a damn good game with RtK and =EAF=TomFoster in the EAF server (Karkand). My next goal is to get in the top 10,000 then the top 1000, 100 and ultimately the top 10!

In other news, you may have heard that YouTube are putting in place stricter rules on content, most notably 'profanity' (Awful Americanism) and 'Sexually suggestive' videos. Basically, any video which has 'profanity' or sexual content will be demoted, think about this, this is American Puritanism in action, but hang on one second, let's remember that YouTube LLC is a private company, they aren't a public service, which I think is a fact many people seem to forget, YouTube can restrict or delete videos however it likes, YouTube has become such an important part of our online lives that it seems we have forgot this fact.

<rtk> "01:17 - RTk leaks the lizard!!" /U

So yeah, don't blame YouTube or Americans, YouTube is an American site, but it's also a private business, I say to anyone, if you wish to create a truly 'free' and open video sharing site, then do it, the Pirate Bay equivalent of YouTube might be interesting, although then again it may just be filled with porn and hate, who knows!

Dudes... I have three fucking beers left - yooooooooooooosh!

It's 05:00 as I write this. I have just brushed my teeth and I am ready for bed, no sign of rtk tonight, had a good game in BF2 in uKm before and EAF earlier this evening. I am so near my goal of 30,000 points I can smell it, although I still neeed 50,000 before I can reach my next rank.

By the way, had four 1664s tonight, the normal kind, not the widget sort, anyway, earlier this evening I completed leg #3 of my epic around the world trip in X-Plane. I flew in my trusty King Air B350 from Mont-Joli, Quebec, Canada to Schefferville, Quebec, Canada. I'll tell you, the weather was fucking awful, I'm amazed I got down in one piece, it's damn good to be in the comfort of my hut now, although the locals don't speak much English.... anywaaaaay, my target is to get to Nuuk, Greenland soon, then it will hopefully be plain, or should that be 'plane' sailing to Reykjavik and then onto the Faroe Islands and the UK!

Erm, in other news, well there's not much else to report except that I now have 43 things to be getting on with and that's about it, I'm very lazy at the moment, apart from the X-Plane stuff, I'm doing very little, I hope the other guy sorts me out, anyway, quite drunk here and desperately in need of sleep, bye for now!
