Game: The Ur-Quan Masters

19 Jul 2004

After finding the '-c bilinear' option to produce nicely-scaled graphics (way better than the original 320x200), I've got to say that The Ur-Quan Masters, a port of the 3DO port of the DOS version of what I knew as Star Control 2 is easily as enjoyable to play as the original. Yes, that's what I wasted the majority of the weekend playing. I'm about 60% through the campaign portion now.

Hi, I'm Neil Blakey-Milner, a technology generalist most interested by open source, security, and building scalable systems (especially if I get to use the Python programming language).

I "work" at the incredibly fun web-sites-for-everyone startup SynthaSite based in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

What I do

  • StarCamp

    I was the main instigator behind this 2-day unconference in December 2007 in Cape Town. There'll be another one in Cape Town around July.

  • GeekDinner

    I help out in making these geek social events happen every two months in Cape Town since March 2007.

  • SynthaSite

    I make sure that the systems run smoothly at this Cape Town-born Web 2.0 startup.

  • Presentations

    I speak publically on a number of topics - generally related to technical aspects of open source software or on software development.

  • Code

    I've written a few software projects of my own over the years (although mostly I'm the only user of them).

  • Photos

    I'm far from an artist, but I enjoy capturing my experiences on camera.
