Firewalls

aaargh. i have just bought a new pc and dont want to put it on the internet for obvious reasons. so i have decided to make a short tutorial about how to arm your system.
1) get some old pc, which isnt in use, and move all your files to cd or somthing similar, as the HDD will need to be formatted
2)download and burn the iso for smoothwall http://www.smoothwall.org/get/ and burn it to a cd
3) open the old pc and add a network card
4)start the old pc, after closing the case, and boot from cd.
5) install smoothwall with the RED seting
6)Install avast http://www.avast.com/ and zone alarm http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?dc=56pus&ctry=GB&lang=en
and install them on the other pcs
7)link them all up, while off, with a network cable, then boot up
8)install your asdl modem on the smoothwall machine and you'r off!

My fave game

The best game in the world ever is halo custom edition, followed closely by Crysis. Halo custom edition is the free addition to the halo series for pc. Aside from not having a single player, the game is exactly the same, but with thousands of maps available to download. The maps are created by members of the public using the WYSIWYG editor, sapien: This has lead to thousands of maps, vehicles, weapons, characters and other bizarre objects to be created. Even now, 5 years after its release, it’s still popular, and still is a lot of fun to play.

My next favourite game is a really new one: Crysis. I was blown away when I first played it, and i'm not the only one, here’s the first paragraph from a review from http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/action/crysis/review.html , where it scored a mega 9.5/10.

“It was hard not to be completely impressed when the first images and videos of Crysis appeared about 18 months ago. Scenes of lush jungles and towering alien war machines looked light-years beyond what seemed possible. Of course, the two questions that revolved around Crysis since its announcement were whether it would deliver on those visuals and whether it would deliver a game worthy of those fancy graphics. It turns out that the answer to both those questions is a resounding yes, as Germany's Crytek has proven that its 2004 hit Far Cry was no fluke. In fact, it was just the beginning from this studio. With its sophomore effort, Crytek has managed to deliver an incredibly advanced and exciting first-person shooter that practically rewrites the rules for the entire genre.”

It has been showered with complements from almost every gaming site, magazine, group and even industry bodies. There is one big disadvantage: It devours your system. When I ran it was taking up 990 Meg of RAM! What’s more is that it needs 12GB of hard drive space, 256 Meg of graphics memory, and a 2.8 GHz processor. Basically if your machine isn’t called Deep Thought, you don’t stand a chance of running it. But with an AMAZING sandbox editor, and a colossal 32 people per map online, this is well worth the buy.
