I use pandoc with some Make scripts to generate the epub of my novels and short stories. Having a reproducible way to iterate from source to final docs during edits and correction passes is amazing. I can't imagine doing it any other way.

I was heavily involved with the australian team fortress (quake 1 version) community in the late 90s and 'bro' (Robin Walker) and John Cook were gods to us, regularly involved in the RMIT/Melbourne Lan scene and online even when back then mostly it was 28.8/33.6k modems with a few LPBS on East coast uni isdns.

The struggle for them to move on from qwtf to 'tf2' was probably for the best as a lot of the lessons they learned in the wilderness there helped when they were taken on by value and worked on HL2.

Also find it somewhat amusing was that TF2 was originally going to be a much more 'realistic' modern miltary shooter before the scope creep killed it.

I was in the same scene (Clan PlanetFortress FTW). Robin and those guys saved us from the annoying cheaters that were exploiting the old qw code. I was so excited for them when they got hired by Valve to make TFC and then HL2.

When can we use real crypto on a Smart Card / PIV / CAC without relying on Google, MS, or the Government?

I wonder how this article about Cloudflare powering Microsoft Edge Secure Network fits in with this story.
