I've spent the better part of the week running a Linux box through various stress tests where seeing a sustained load avg of 150.00 isn't uncommon. It's interesting how a system responds under stress and how poking around in /proc can make some serious changes to the characteristics of the perfomance.

If someone thinks that they'd be interested in hearing about this, let me know.

As a favour for my friend at Canux, I wrote a review of Heavy Gear II from Loki (and Activision). It includes some screenshots, the high-quality orginals of which will be availabe here (big PNG images, slow transfers) for a while (sssh.. it's a secret).

The snow is long gone now and I've cleaned off the dust on my inlines.
