Dogma Script Summary…

August 29th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • The Dark Horizons website has a complete summary of the Dogma script. We’ve put a local copy right here. SPOILER ALERT!!! Don’t read this unless you don’t mind ruining the movie. We both managed to post this WITHOUT reading it, since we just can’t bring ourselves to spoil the flick. Read at your own risk, folks.

Help With The Jay & Silent Bob Cursors…

August 29th @ 12:00 am | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • I’ve seen comments and received mails from just a few folks who are having trouble with the zip file or setting up the cursors themselves. Therefore, I’ll try to go into some detail here for those of you who need the help. First of all, you’ll need a zip program to uncompress the file. Here’s the latest version of Winzip. Now, make sure you’re using Windows. Sorry, these files won’t work on anything but a Windows-based PC. It’s been years since I used Win 3.1, so if anyone has instructions for setting these up in there, let me know. These instructions are for Windows 95/NT only:
  • Unzip the file using the program you downloaded.
  • Use Windows Explorer to cut and paste the files from where you unzipped them to into your C:WindowsCursors directory.
  • Under your Control Panel, select Mouse, and Pointers.
  • You’ll see a list of all the different pointers and their corresponding events (busy, normal, etc…). I use the Jay and Silent Bob cursors for the two different busy states (background and busy).

Sorry if this is still too vague, I was never good at explaining PC stuff, really. I always take for granted the things that people know just because I do. If you need further instructions, drop me a line.

Oh, and as for all the problems that some of you running at lower color depths and such have been having…Never fear! Steve’s put Cursors Askew online for all your cursor and graphic needs. There you can find different versions of the cursors that will look good for all configurations, plus a few more nice surprises as well.

Rutgers Talk Cleared Up…

  • Kevin will be appearing at the Camden Campus of Rutgers University. Kevin does say, however, that you should contact your school activities board and ask for him by name (kinda like those old light beer commercials).

Seriously, your colleges should ALL have budgets in their activities funds for this kinda stuff, and now that I think about it, I regret never suggesting anyone at my school since most of out guest speakers pretty much sucked. Also, judging from what he’s said, Kevin’s more than happy to do this sorta thing if his schedule permits. So if you’re in school now, look into it! Just think, you could be the one to go up and shake Kev’s hand and say, “I’m the reason you’re here.” Not bad, ‘eh?

Judgement Day Is Upon Us…

Well, everyone, stick your heads between your legs and kiss your asses goodbye, because it’s Judgment Day! Well, at least as far as Jim Cameron’s concerned. According to the Terminator 2: Judgment Day flick, TODAY is the day that the Skynet computer became self-aware and decided that it didn’t want us humans around anymore. So, you guessed it, it nuked us. We’ll be here updating until we get hit by the blast, though. Apparently, Red Bank has already been hit since www.viewaskew.com has been offline for quite a few hours now. We’ll miss you all. *Sniff*

By the way, if by some miracle John Connor actually does save our butts, we’ll be back with another update tomorrow.
