After five years of making first person shooters like Quake2, Quake III Arena, and Quake III: Team Arena, designer Paul Jaquays has left id software, thanks Trout. There's an interview with Paul here.

In a similar vein to the C64 webserver from a couple of days ago, Darmok spotted this net-connected BBS running on a C64.. at this old computer museum.

Jaw174 sent in this guide to making a wireless antenna from a tin can - and apparently the pringles tubes like we saw earlier are not as good as a beef stew or coffee can at extending the range of a wireless network. So there you go.

Virtual-Hideout have been modding a LiteOn FS020 case.

IceHardware have an LCD guide posted. Check out Wolfy's DIY LCD guide here.

Peal spotted an engaged couple who met playing DiabloII online.. awww. I know we have a few relationships going on in the OCAU Forums, but I don't think we've had any start between people who've met there. I'm sure we'll have our first OCAU wedding soon enough tho. :)

There's a LAN in Fremantle, WA on the 30th of March.. info here.

StormBringer has put updated pics of his mean grean watercooled machine in the PCDB.
