I’ve started playing this game, but have hit some hardware or software issues. I keep getting system crashes, and Windows crash reporter isn’t much help.
I think it’s my graphics driver, and I’m downloading an update. In the meantime it seems to have killed my Direct X installation too, so I’ve updated that. Since I installed, I haven’t been able to run WoW either, so I hope that’s just a temporary thing since the last crash, not a fuckup of the Direct X installation.
Update: It gets better. Checkout this error when I try to run AOE III demo:
Apparently, my GeForce has no memory.

I noticed a few new features in the Dashboard for Gmail for Hosted Domains.
Domain alias - it’s now possible to have multiple domains using the same mailboxes. That is, you could have company.com, and company.net, and have users only have ot have one account - all mail delivered to username@company.net can be forwarded to username@company.com, and each user you set up on company.com has the .org address too. Much neater than having a heap of forwarding addresses.
Better sign-in URLs - to access hosted Gmail, I had set up a redirect from http://mail.schinckel.net to http://mail.google.com/hosted/schinckel.net/, but it’s now possible to have a proper CNAME record. This works for mail, and calendar. I’ll have to set this up, as soon as I can get to my domain registrar (it’s blocked at work).
Cool. Two features I like a lot.
