I just found out about Sonic Center while at the library. My windows computer (a crap compaq with 98 on it, only computer my parents will agree to hook up to the internet) finally broke after the hard drive sustained physical damage, and could no longer load the GUI. Possessing a Fedora Core (kernel 2.4.xxx) model in my room, I brought it down to establish an internet connection. However, the PCI card allready in the computer from its previous owner crapped out. I then retrieved the PCI card from my Compaq, only to find that Fedora's hardware detector could not detect in any of my 3 bus port expansions. Also, being that I have such an old kernel, it does not have USB support, and I'll be damned if I'm going into the gooey to alter it...last time, I nearly destroyed half of my root directory in an attempt to alter the boot image...
So I took the lazy man's way out, and am downloading <url="ubuntulinux.org target="_blank">Ubuntu</url> to gain that very same support Fedora lacks, something I should have done ages ago. Oddly enough, this library has disabled downloads to cd's...and yet, they allow floppy disk downloads.
Well, after commencing download, I noticed somebody had gamefaqs up. I can't stand gamefaqs, or at least the low-high mid tier of their "intellegent" users, so I was watching him sift through posts on the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle board out of boredom/curiosity. I noticed some absurd times, such as a run of Cannon's Core below 10 seconds (blasphemy I tell you!), and saw this url attached to one of the posts. I was genuinely interested, so I typed it in, and registered twice. The first time I registered, I added in one character or another that was different from this username, so I registered again. This time, I logged in "right done proper", and am posting this message after scanning through the members list to see who the active members are.
Also, while I'm on the topic of introductions, is there anything I should know before I eventually immerse myself into Sonic Center (and I say eventually because I may be library hopping for a while)? I've been caught off-guard and exiled from several web sites for obliviously posting certain links, mainly to Maddox (hilarious writer/sattirist). So again, anything to watch out for to avoid the banny sticks?
Erroneous note:Ubuntu download at 51% with only 39 minutes left....
I'm rambling, I'll stop right now. And
