May Sucked
Posted on June 3, 2008I didn't get a lot of things accomplished in May. Work sucked too. So in the spirit of trying to have some fun I got Quake III Arena up and running on a virtual machine running XP. The XP VM has 2 gigs of ram dedicated to it, plus I bumped up the vram to 128 megs. The host machine is running 32 bit Windows 2003 Server with 8 gigs of ram. The sound was horrible, and the video was choppy, but I could almost play it well just using the keyboard.
Here's to a better June: http://panteravb.com/codecasts/quakeiii-virtual.html.
ps. I originally had recorded about a minute and 17 seconds worth of footage, but the rendered Flash file was 100 megs and would have taken years to upload, so I cut it up into a 10 second slice(still 7 megs!).
