Ridiculous Heat, Fixed Laptop, Etc

Posted by KaBob799 on Aug. 2, 2011, 2:28 p.m.

So a few days ago my area passed an entire month of being 100+ degrees. It's 107 outside right now and supposed to reach at least 108 today. We have an "Excessive Heat Warning" on weather.com =p

Our record for consecutive 100+ days is 42, so we've still got a ways to go but it looks possible and we've already passed the previous second place record o.o

As for my laptop, the BIOS was updated yesterday to enable fixed switchable graphics mode. So now I can play minecraft using the good graphics card and everything is awesome =] Hopefully they keep updating to make it more user friendly to switch though, right now it's easiest to just keep it running on the better card all the time. There was a leaked screenshot of a better menu system, so I'm hoping the wait isn't too long =]

In CheeseMod I've been working hard on 1.7.3_7 so that it can be done before 1.8 I've finished reworking the error system so that it will tell you things like "you can't do this in survival" or "wrong number of arguments" for every command. So now I can go back to fixing up individual commands. My codes getting simpler looking too now that I've got better functions for handling errors and user groups

Last night my server had issues with too many random noobs joining, I ended up having to ban 3 and add another to the noob group. So now I'm motivated to work on the whitelist style feature I was planning for CheeseMod =o It's going to have an option to let non-whitelisted people join, but limit them from doing anything important.

Important Humble Bundle News

116 degrees today (heat index, factoring in humidity) here in St. Louis, MO. I'm taking summer classes at Wash U. Walking across campus is a bitch.

You forgot to mention they added Steal Storm to the bundle :3 that's 7 games.

I'm still skeptical about buying this bundle, seeing as I already have 3 of the 5 main games, and am only interested in one of the remaining.
