        People who bought Borderlands on PC from a retail store before the official release date have found that Securom has blocked installation.

If you go to <a href="http://www.2kgames.com/borderlands/activation/">http://www.2kgames.com/borderlands/activation/</a>, though, you can manually activate the game. This needs to be done before running the installer.

        Some people, like me, are getting a bug when starting Dark Messiah: Heroes of Might and Magic. The intro video plays, but then a black screen follows it, and not the menu or anything. The problem seems to be caused by the computer trying to run the game in a resolution the game does not like to output in. I have a fix here.

Right-click on the game's shortcut and select Properties. On the resulting screen there is a Target text field. Go to the end of the text inside it, add a space, and then &#8230;

        Gosh, more RSS bugs fixed. It&#8217;s nice that the RSS specification is so strict, because it means that you get a more predictable product &#8212; but it&#8217;s not nice when it refuses to print anything because it doesn&#8217;t like a URL you&#8217;ve put into a post or something.

        Recently I looked at my wardrobe and noticed that I was wearing maybe six pieces out of it in total &#8212; I don&#8217;t go out much, so this is not as bad as it sounds. A lot of it had been gifted to me for my birthday or Christmas over the years, and now either didn&#8217;t fit or was not my style. Being aware that I have no interest in the vast majority of my clothes made me donate most of it to Goodwill and put a new collection together. You probably should do the same, so here&#8217;s how.&#8230;
