Rogue

Unreal Tournament 2004 Comp and server is ready, Battlefield 2 Comp and server is ready, Call Of Duty UO Comp needs its maps but the server is ready, Quake 4 server is ready, FEAR server is ready.

While rewriting the UT2004 configs I changed them around to give us better throughput (FPS) hopefully, and also I can now command them from anywhere thanks to getting the web admin stuff working reliably (it used to stop updating).

Must remember to buy my tickets for Victoria this week. Time is getting short for a lot of the stuff I've got on the go.

We just had a gas alert in our building here at work. That's not necessarily out of the ordinary, but what surprised me a little is that in a place where they are so concerned about safety (only because the families sue when people die here) only maybe half of the workers thought it was worth caring about.

When I can smell thick LPG (cooking) type case throughout my area - which has to have the stuff travel right through the entire building to reach me, then I get the fuck outta Dodge. Just walking 10m down the hall to check whether it was isolated to the IT section and I find myself coughing on the stuff and can literally taste it in the air. Why the hell anyone would just keep working in that and ignore it is beyond me. The shit can kill you and zap your braincells for crying out loud, not to mention that one spark and the whole place will ignite like an effigy of an american president in a middle east parade.

And then after we call in the site hazard guys to check it out (they put it down to a burst release, not a leak) and they say it's not a major risk; a few of the non-suicidal people who left the building just go straight back to work. Hello! The bloody gas is still in there, it's not like it just realised it's not a continuous leak and buggered off.

So myself and a few other lads copped a pew outside to wait for it to dissapate rather than risk passing out at our desks, nerfing our brains, or getting blown the fuck up.

It just amazes me that some people would rather risk crap like that then stop whatever they are doing at the time. Idiots.
