Nothing's happened

Nothings really important in the world has happened that I want to write about, sort of sad.

The biggest thing that I’ve been interested in is the fact that the source code for Half-Life 2 was stolen from Valve, and released on the net. Story. When I first heard of it, I though it was a rumor, or a disgruntled programmer that released it. Apparently, a hacker specifically targeted the manager of their software development team. It was scheduled to be released around the end of this month, but was pushed back to the "holiday" season. Now I just hope they can make enough changes to HL2 that we won't have to worry about serious hacking/cheating on online matches. I hope they can find out who is responsible for this, and knowing the fan base that Half-Life had/has, I'm sure there are plenty of unscrupulous people who would love to track down who did it using questionable means. If there's one thing the Internet is good for, besides being wise and all knowing, its rogue justice!

Now that I've wasted the last 20 minutes of my work day, I think its time to go.
