| 18:16 | <@AnnoDomini> | I wonder if it's possible to set up either FF or Opera to use a proxy for some sites, and connect the normal way for everything else. |
| 18:16 | <@ToxicFrog> | It is possible with FF, using the FoxyProxy plugin. |
| 18:17 | <@ToxicFrog> | Not sure about Opera |
| 18:18 | | * AnnoDomini scratches head. It seems to be possible to set up a list of sites which are NOT proxied, but not the other way around. |
| 18:19 | <@ToxicFrog> | No, it has a whitelist mode |
| 18:19 | <@AnnoDomini> | Huh? |
| 18:20 | <@ToxicFrog> | FoxyProxy |
| 18:20 | <@TheWatcher> | I think you can edit the override.ini to add proxies on a per-site basis |
| 18:20 | <@TheWatcher> | (with opera) |
| 18:23 | <@TheWatcher> | Open docs&settings/you/Application Data/Opera/Opera/override.ini and add something like |
| 18:23 | <@TheWatcher> | [www.domain.com] |
| 18:23 | <@TheWatcher> | Proxy|HTTP server=<yourproxy>:<port> |
| 18:23 | <@TheWatcher> | and restart opera, and I think that should do it |
| 18:24 | <@AnnoDomini> | The file says not to edit that with Opera running. |
| 18:24 | <@TheWatcher> | Well, close it, edit it, start it then.. |
| 18:29 | <@AnnoDomini> | Doesn't seem to be working... |
| 18:30 | <@TheWatcher> | Hm. Blegh. Try using a PAC? |
| 18:31 | <@AnnoDomini> | PAC? |
| 18:31 | <@TheWatcher> | Proxy Auto Config file. *digs* |
| 18:31 | <@TheWatcher> | http://groups.google.com/group/opera.general/msg/ccf9d15e76e27f2f?dmode=source - that, maybe? |
| 18:32 | <@AnnoDomini> | Actually, I seem to be editing the wrong overrides.ini file. I'll try the other one. |

| 21:22 | <@McMartin> | Hm. It's the 25th Anniversary of the classic game "Elite" |
| 21:22 | <@McMartin> | Source code has been released. |
| 21:22 | <@McMartin> | http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/index.htm |
| 21:23 | <@TheWatcher> | huh |
| 21:23 | < gnolam> | It's been 25 years already? :o |
| 21:23 | <@TheWatcher> | Scary, isn't it? |
| 21:24 | <@TheWatcher> | .. I'd forgotten just how hideous Ian Bell's website was |
| 21:24 | < Finale> | never heard of it. |
| 21:24 | <@McMartin> | ... wow, it's Web 1.0 all over again |
| 21:24 | <@McMartin> | There's even a terrible hitcount gif |
| 21:25 | <@TheWatcher> | And flashing text. Takes me back. |
| 21:27 | < gnolam> | "Elite turns 25, Ian Bell's website design turns 15" |
| 21:27 | < Finale> | ahahaha |
| 21:27 | < gnolam> | Finale: ... you never heard of Elite? |
| 21:32 | < Finale> | no. |
| 21:35 | | * gnolam ...s. |
| 21:35 | < gnolam> | Now I feel old again. |
| 21:35 | | * TheWatcher patpats gnolam, offers to let him borrow his cane |
| 21:36 | | * McMartin also provides a lawn for gnolam to demand kids remove themselves from. |
| 21:36 | < gnolam> | Thanks. :( |
| 21:36 | < gnolam> | "Since there was no way to edit a galaxy, you just had to try galaxy after galaxy, seed after seed, until something suitable grew. "I remember thinking it was very wasteful," Braben says. "You'd type in a number, a birthday or something, and see what galaxy that came out with. 'No, I don't like that. No, I don't like that. That cluster looks horrible'." |
| 21:36 | < gnolam> | They also decided they had better check the 256 system names in the galaxy where the player would be plunked down, in case any of the four-letter words were actually four-letter words. "One of the first galaxies we tried had a system called Arse. We couldn't use the whole galaxy. We just threw it away!"" |
| 21:36 | < Finale> | keep in mind I was 3 years old 25 years ago. |
| 21:37 | < Finale> | and in Russia. |
| 21:37 | < Finale> | I could hardly play, or even hear of, American games. :P |
| 21:37 | < gnolam> | The latter would explain it then. :) |
| 21:41 | <@TheWatcher> | I suggest you look it up on Wikipedia at least, as it is a Defining Moment In Gaming History. |
| 21:48 | <@McMartin> | And it's not, strictly speaking, an American game |
| 21:48 | <@McMartin> | We got it, but it's not ours |
| 21:48 | < Finale> | hm. |
| 21:48 | < Finale> | nifty. |
| 21:50 | <@TheWatcher> | Yeah, Braben and Bell are English. |
| 21:51 | <@McMartin> | Also, regardless of what he says on his site, the NES version of Elite is a dark legend of terribleness. |
| 21:52 | <@McMartin> | It only actually runs in hacked NES emulators that change what the hardware does explicitly to make it run right. |
| 21:53 | | * McMartin has never truly played Elite, he must admit. |
| 21:53 | <@McMartin> | Or M.U.L.E. |
| 21:56 | < gnolam> | I played Elite on the Amiga. M.U.L.E. I only played well after the fact though, since people kept rambling on about how innovative it was for its time. :) |
| 21:56 | < gnolam> | Of course, the Amiga also had Frontier, which impresses me to this day. |
| 21:58 | <@McMartin> | Amiga had the definitive version of a lot of stuff from the early 90s. |
| 21:59 | < gnolam> | It was an awesome machine. Way ahead of its time. |
| 22:02 | <@TheWatcher> | Yeah, it was. Unfortunately. |
| 22:06 | <@TheWatcher> | I keep UAE around so I can run a few old things (some other than games too - TVPaint is still occasionally useful), I vaguely wonder if my old machines would boot anymore... |
| 22:33 | < gnolam> | Mine does, but has problems with df0. :-/ |
| 22:34 | < Finale> | I wonder if I can still make my old 286 work. |
| 22:34 | | * McMartin would have been hacking MCGA at the time, yeah. |
