Ah, the heat from the lamps causes the air to rise, providing upward suction on the wings. Brilliant!

I did work on another project, Plutonia 2, that was released a few months ago. My first contribution was in mid-2001, IIRC, which makes 7.5 years.
In fact, I did join the Mordeth team a couple of years ago, but quit...

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming . . "WOW ---What a Ride"
I understand that some people like World of Warcraft to the point that they compromise their health, but that's taking it too far.

Submission + - Citizendium after one year
Larry Sanger writes: "Citizendium, "the Citizens' Compendium" — a free, non-profit, ad-free, wiki encyclopedia with real names and a role for experts — has just announced that it's celebrating the one year anniversary of its wiki, an occasion for which I wrote a project report. Make up your own mind about whether "we've made a very strong start and an amazing future likely lies ahead of us." We have been the subject of a lot of misunderstanding, but we've still proven a lot, such as that a public-expert hybrid wiki is consistent with accelerating growth and leads to high quality, or that eliminating anonymity helps remove vandalism. We've got lots of initiatives and plans, and signs are good that we are starting into a serious growth spurt. Might the Web 2.0 umbrella be expanded to include real name requirements and roles for experts? It's looking that way."
