February 7th, 2005 by pleia2
After reading an entry of escapenguin’s, I was reminded that there was a Doom3 installer for Linux. I remember when the installer was released, a few of my Swede friends were all excited.

February 6th, 2005 by pleia2
Average earnings per day: $1.59 Total for week: $10.35 As I had suspected, my daily earnings increased when I started taking the time to carefully place ads on pages where I believed people might actually click, rather than mindlessly including them on all pages.
