Ops! Um pequeno crash no meu pé direito no passado dia 14 manteve-me no hospital até agora! Só estou a escrever isto porque me deixaram passar este fim de semana em casa, antes da operação na próxima terça (se não for adiado novamente). Não é nada de grave, 3 ossos partidos, vão-me meter uns "fios" de metal pelas pontas dos dedos, que vão ficar de fora para mais tarde serem retirados a frio. Se fores sensivel não leias aquela parte! Se este site não for actualizado em 1 mês, é porque quinei! LOL!!! Webmaster crashed foot.

Update of the entire site: there's too many little changes to mention, but, the virus section easier to browse, now there's a report and a separate hoax zone, menu even more complete, a new mirror site on Europe at http://psyboyo.no.sapo.pt. If you access from Europe, then this is much faster!

Hackers Attack White House Web Site

Hackers attacked the White House Web site Friday, resulting in massive slowdowns, said the Bush administration and a company that monitors the Internet. The perpetrators sent an enormous amount of data toward the White House site, leaving it completely blocked or difficult to access for about six hours. The White House said no information on the site was altered or destroyed. (...)

Last weekend, hackers who federal officials believe are from China vandalized Web sites operated by the departments of Labor and Health and Human Services. A picture of Wang Wei, the Chinese pilot who was killed in a collision with a U.S. Navy spy plane April 1, was posted on Labor's Web site. in Excite Tech News

Naked Wife Virus Strips Down Computers

Users who cannot launch applications, cannot find .BMP, .COM, .DLL, .EXE and .INI files, or who receive e-mail that says they have sent others the NakedWife.exe attachment, are likely infected by the virus.

The virus is also known as W32/Naked@MM and W32.HLLW.JibJab@mm. Its most arresting alias, however, is the "Naked Wife" -- largely because of the message the title carries promoting an X-rated photo of someone's spouse.

Instead, the virus delivers a deadly attachment. The Naked Wife virus functions both as a Trojan horse, because it poses as a harmless attachment, and as a worm, because when the attachment is run it deletes critical system files and replicates itself to everyone in the user's Windows Outlook address book.

After sending itself to all addresses, the virus displays a dialog box entitled "Flash" with the message: "You're now F***ED! ©2001 by BGK (Bill Gates Killer)". in Wireless NewsFactor

After this, why are people still using uncle bill's outlook, inviting danger to dance? Darwin teach us that diversification means survival, but people around the world KEEP using uncle bill's UNIQUE products... if everybody is equal, when a virus come, everybody dies. You do the maths.

Teen Hacker Sentenced to Jail

A teen-age computer hacker who defaced Web sites was sentenced Friday to nine months behind bars and was ordered to help program the jail's computers. in Excite Tech News

Misshitsu: Some add-ons were added. Like the poll on the right! Every month I'll put one new poll, if feedback justifies it. These things work really nice and they are soo cool!
Netscape support updated, menus and other stuff, work ok now.

Misshitsu supports Netscape Navigator!

Netscape is a nice attempt to be another usable wannabe browser, and anything that bugs uncle bill, well its fine by me. So there's a Netscape option now, changing the java menu for a table menu. Not as pretty but it works...

Playtesting is over - Misshitsu is officially open!

No bugs or faults were reported about the Psy Levels - many opinions, yes, which will be considered in future levels. No reassemble of the levels was needed. Thanks again to all Playtesters and Supporters, this site exists with YOUR help!

:: Wednesday, March 7, 2001 - Updated @ 12h00 ::

I think we did it this time.

Misshitsu has now landed on Tripod. The extras are ok. The speed is ok. The downloads are ok. Its part of the excellent Lycos system - hey! I think we're staying right here for good! At last, a free host that doesn't suck in an entire week! (Obrigado Nelson!)

Test sites at First2Web, WebJump and FortuneCity are now officially closed because they SUCKED in several ways. The guys at WebJump DID answer my question to "why are YOUR adds delaying the loading of MY pages so much that eventually it gives an error" - the answer was "We apologize if this causes you any inconvenience or lessens your enjoyment of our service". I didn't even answer that.

Thanks to all who helped in Misshitsu "debugging"!

Unreal Levels will be available for download probably at the end of this week, because no faults or bugs were found until now, so no reassemble will be needed.

Horizontal blue line.

:: Monday, March 5, 2001 - Updated @ 17h00 ::

Updated the SETI page, Unreal Playtest, Unreal Levels.

Just waiting for one last playtester to say something about the UT Levels before unleashing them to the world... Because they where tested and tested before this "playtesting", no bugs or major flaws were reported. I hope this last dude is still alive, and the game hasn't popped his eyeballs out...

Horizontal blue line.

:: Saturday, March 3, 2001 - Updated @ 13h00::

Fact: Pages loading fast, Levels downloading slow. I hope to find a host here I can put these and other UT goodies that I've made, that can be faster for users to download files. I think FortuneCity is the fastest opening web pages but unfortunately (pun intended) it doesn't work with GetRight or similar download programs, and its not possible to get the files from outside the FC server, like for example me registering my levels on FilePlanet, it wouldn't work, and error page appears.

Horizontal blue line.

:: Thursday, March 1, 2001 - Updated @ 22h00::

Thanks to great feedback and a little trick or two, Misshitsu is now a bit faster to use. I hope it stays like this for a while ;) Our current host is FortuneCity and the URL:

http://members.fortunecity.com/psyboyo

As usual, if you find any slowdown on anything, any bug or broken link, please report.
To do: Speed up the file downloads.

Quality is a right, not an option.

Unreal Levels are still restricted - access granted to playtesters only for this week or so.
Unreal Levels now have clickable image thumbnails.

Corrected the 32 players command, it's: addbots 32

Ok. I'm starting to get a little pissed with bad Free Web Hosts. I think there is something wrong in WebJump, because people are complaining about it... Could this be the trip to another server? Possible. Misshitsu is already registered in First 2 the Web with the URL psy.f2w.net. If you have problems downloading anything, or viewing any page, go there instead. Let's see if I can fix things around here. Good thing is that there are lots of hosts out there. Sorry for this.

Added Thumbnails to click in Unreal Levels.

:: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 :: Carnival - The Celebration of the Flesh ::

Good-bye FortuneCity. Hello WebJump. For now.

GetRight can do the downloads now... this was to me the most annoying thing in FortuneCity - not being able to do this meant that probably I would have problems registering the UT Levels in FilePlanet... I hope this new host doesn't have any hidden rotten-Easter-eggs...

Soon: Direct Mail/Feedback at Misshitsu - no client-side e-mail program necessary.

:: Saturday, February 17, 2001 ::

Major menu workout: yeah, it's a bit similar of Graffiti.net, but it's so cool I just had to learn how they did it, and how to do it. Bit complicated, but its working. Graffity.net is nice because they give you 20 megs AND have a cool Menu system. But reading mails and downloading attachments is SO slow, that its not really useful. Hotmail and Yahoo still strong me thinks.

:: Saturday, February 3, 2001 ::

Another Saturday, another log entry. Our Neverwinter Nights guild is shaping up, we got the new 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons Core Rulebooks - oh boy, I really want to see this working on the net... will be only one of two: good or bad. There's no prize for second place, as there are too much good online games nowadays, and Neverwinter must crush every competition if it wants to stand out... the good thing is that they know this, so this game promises to kick ass.

Careful, Diaspora is a crappy little vicious online game that keeps you playing hours at night - too addictive. It has some server problems once in a while, which gives you a chance to snap out of it... for some time. Its crappy, because, well, it's a bit chaotic and unstable.

Horizontal blue line.

:: Saturday, January 27, 2001 ::

Doing a site, bit by bit, every week, isn't a good method, but it it's not the ideas that are missing here, its time to put them to work. We're thinking making our Neverwinter Nights guild right here. Hell, there's 100 mb to waist!...

Misshitsu, house of secrets, will continue without imagery until it has a solid content. Future galleries will include personal ink draws, 3D renders, wallpapers... but that's not a priority yet. Take a look at The Thin H Line, where you can find Manga with a twist ;)

New: Finally a working counter! Maybe I'll stay a while around Fortune City... if you detected any bugs or slow downs on Misshitsu, please report em all! (psychomind@hotmail.com)

I'm working in my spare time on a Diablo II page, a shiny new Sacrifice page (shiny - get it??) and forthcoming Neverwinter Nights...

:: Sunday, January 14, 2001 ::

New: Downloads page emptied up! Split in two sections: My Unreal Tournament Levels (not yet for download) and my Favorite Modifiers for the Game.

I'm thinking about moving to another web server, cause this one doesn't have what it needs for one to have a decent counter (CGI-Bin), and the option Fortune City gives to its users isn't working as you can see for yourself at the end of this page... humph... that's one reason for this site not being officially open, with all the files and stuff.
