I uninstalled Internet Explorer 6, and I got the Radio edit menu back! Cool.
Still can’t view source for some reason, though. Grrr.

Syndicate is a Cyberpunk roleplaying
Syndicate is a Cyberpunk roleplaying game made by a Finnish company called Burger Games. Burger Games also made a post-apocalyptic game called Taiga, which seems to have some devouted fans, but are now concentrating on a fantasy game in Finnish, based on a popular Finnish comic, having given up their ambitions of taking the international world of gaming by storm. Syndicate is currently available free on the net, with at least two alternate rule systems (both quite similar, fairly complete, and sharing a simple, clean-looking design). The game reminds me a bit of Phil Elliot’s Zaibatsu.
There’s a page here listing some Syndicate campaigns the designer ran (the campaign pages, saddly, are all in Finnish), most notable because at least one has the PCs fighting with Nokia agents…

From Captain Cursor’s D&D links,
From Captain Cursor’s D&D links, I rediscovered Langmaker.com, a “portal” for Model Languages. It also includes a language-generating program for building your own languages using real linguistic transformation rules.
Captain Cursor rediscovers a long-lost aspect of his “inner geek” and starts a D&D campaign! However, another aspect of this inner geek drives him to think about Content Management Systems… reminds me of when I tried to write a Javascript meta-character-generator.
Anyway, he took time to share his links.

This looks useful: copying, deleting
This looks useful: copying, deleting and pasting text in vi. I really like vi, which could be thought of as the notepad of UNIX, except that it’s infinitely more confusing to the beginner and infinitely more powerful once you learn the cool commands.
Using it is a total nightmare if you don’t know what you’re doing, because you can’t even figure out how to quit the program (press ESC and type :q!). However, if you’re using it, it has some delightful features, such as simple search (type /xxx to search for something, ?xxx if you want to search backwards from the current position), and cool bracket-matching (type % to get from one brace to the matching brace), which is wonderful when you’re trying to understand what’s wrong with your convulated Perl, Javascript or C/C++ program…
