A little Matrix tidbit.. -DJ Sith- May 15 06:19pm -19 comments- |

I know this isn't necessarily Academy news, but we're all nerds here and as such are contractually bound by the Nerd Code to go nuts over anything to do with the Matrix. Sit through until the end of the credits at the movie for a little suprise. I've got my tickets for a 10:00 show tonight already. I can't wait! Many thanks to SmilyKrazy and cHoSeN-oNe for spotting this one. |

Let the Pre-e3 JK3 News Flood Begin! -DJ Sith- May 14 09:31pm -22 comments- |

Thanks to Loaf for pointing out this really swank post over at jk2files.com giving some more impressions about Jedi Academy for the PC, XBox and some info about Raven Software. The description for the new drain power sounds quite cool. Everyone check it out! Edit by doobie: Here's the first footage we have of Jedi Academy in action... I have to say, I still think it's an April Fool's Joke . No really, it looks SWEET! |

The Academy Gets a UN Ambassador. -DJ Sith- May 13 08:32pm -36 comments- |

I recieved a message from Ulic Belouve, stating he'll be mainly inactive during the summer, but for a completely cool reason. Read on! ----- It seems as though the Jedi Academy has gained a Jedi Consular. I've had the fortune to be selected to go to the United Nations for a seminar/internship, which is fitting, as many of you might know my interests in Political Science. This is actually quite an achievement, and I hope to gain a lot of experience and opportunities. I'll be in New York City for a part of this summer, and will basically be getting a bunch of briefings, and then later on, be given a small project. As such, I'll be away from my both my wonderful homes, one in Wisconsin, and one here at the Academy. I'll keep all of you guys in mind, and hopefully return when I come back from the summer. I'll be around to drop comments, maybe, and might have access to e-mail if you really need my assistance. I merely felt that this is such a rare occurrence, to have a JA member go to the United Nations, but not only is that rare, but my good friend, and 'Padawan', Hector Thrawn, is likewise going to the United Nations at the same time. I've definitely worked hard for this opportunity, and I thank the Academy for being there to back me up, even when I am doing papers, and on IRC, talking about how terra nullius applies to ducks lol. I can't say that it was because of you guys that I made this option, but I can't say that I did it without your backing me. So, yeah, hey, raise your sabers to myself and Hector, but also look at what you guys have sent from your own ranks. The JA should be proud of some of the people it comes in contact with, some of the people it encourages. So raise your sabers to yourselves as well, I don't want to be inflating my own ego here. But I'll keep my account active, and keep my saber and Jedi robe hung by the door. I'll be back sometime, guys. Until then, keep being the great people that you are. ~Ulic Belouve ----- This is a super cool opportunity for you, Ulic & I'm proud of you. I'll give you cash money for a picture of you or Hector in Jedi Robes shaking Kofi Annan's hand. |

New server all up in this piece! -DJ Sith- May 12 09:03pm -14 comments- |

I am pleased to announce that sleepyd, one of our newer students, has donated us a new server off an OC-48 line! Seeing as how the home server is getting full at times this is a great place to offload to. Everyone start using this server! Now! Obligatory advertisement: sleepyd is paying for this out of his own pocket from deviantservers.com. If you decide to purchase a server form them mention sleepyd so he can get a discount! |

TeamSpeak2 Tutorial by Icco -Huxley- May 12 06:56pm -14 comments- |
|
Icco has created a TeamSpeak2 Tutorial for everyone who needs to get setup, registered with the server, and I've added a bit about setting up the sound. I have this on the TeamSpeak2 Server Page, under my Permanment comment, if you ever need to direct anyone to it. Thanks Icco! Great work! Now, NO ONE has an excuse to not be using Team Speak  Hooray! |

Everyone put down your sabers today and spend some time with the ones that brought you into this world. To any Academy member's who happen to be mom's: my hat's off to you. Heck I'm not sure if any of our members are women with children. If you are pipe up on this news post. Today's your day. |

A reminder about saving people's lives... -doobie- May 11 04:37pm -14 comments- |

Just a quick reminder to those of you who may have extra CPU cycles to spare... The JA has a Folding @ Home team that is doing well but we'd love more of you to donate your CPU cycles. What does that entail? Well, whenever your CPU is at rest or not completely maxed out (playing a game or something), the Folding @ Home program will work on decoding a "Work Unit" that consists of a protein structure that needs to be analyzed. It's kind of like SETI @ Home, which some of you may be familiar with. Anyway, we'd love your help, so head on over to the F@H site, dowload the program, and sign up using team number 31419. Edit: Ulic Belouve, who set up our team, reminded me of this forum post about F@H when the team was first put together. |
