Which Universities Have the Most Gamers?   1 comment

Posted at 12:18 pm in College Stuff, Interesting Links

I guess we’re just talking about World of Warcraft here, but apparently UMD is #12 in schools that play WoW. It’s probably a combination of sheer student population and the good CS (computer science, not Counter-Strike!) program. The only problem I see here is that it’s not really official. It’s just some site stats of a popular WoW site.

Overall, I’m not sure what to think of this ranking.

A very cool tutorial on Ruby. The tutorial takes 15 minutes, and the language is surprisingly simple.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (EyeCraveDVD.com)
Superman Returns (Apple.com)
Casino Royale (AOL.com)

If you’re looking forward to seeing any of these in theaters, try not to spoil yourself on these. Theatrical trailers often give away key plot points (see Spider-Man 2′s trailer).

List of WAMPs (Link)   post a comment

Posted at 6:47 pm in Interesting Links

So today I wasted a lot of time trying to install AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) on my Windows XP Home Edition desktop. Instead of configuring each one, I found that there’s packages out there that install all three of them (as well as phpMyAdmin) in one shot. Wikipedia was very helpful in this investigation.

Show me the list of WAMPs!

Everyone could use free stuff. These come from Walmart, so it’s reputable. I’ve gotten a few things from the site in the past (some pasta sauce, detergent, and fabric softener). Be sure to check back at the site every once in a while since the available products change occasionally.
