So, we had fair expectations of what to expect in terms of service and food quality.įirst, we started off by ordering cocktails. This was our fourth time eating at a Chops Grill on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. Throughout the night, the service turned out to be a bit slow though. Our waiter came by rather quickly to introduce himself and go over the menu. Seated at a table for two in a small section near the hostess stand, we felt squeezed in a bit next to a few larger parties. Get Deals on Your Next Royal Caribbean Cruise! Dining at Chops Grille on Adventure of the Seas With the Schooner Bar equally busy, we were stuck standing near the bar and restaurant for about 10 minutes until our table was ready. ![]() We could tell that the restaurant was quite busy tonight. There are several smaller sections in the restaurant for a more intimate feel.Īrriving right on time for our reservation, we were told there was going to be a slight delay in getting a table. With deep red tones and striking metallic accents, it felt distinct from other renditions of the restaurant. Inside this newly added specialty restaurant, we really liked the theming and décor. Unfortunately, Chops Grille on Adventure of the Seas does lack ocean views as well. Given the location, the restaurant is much smaller than its counterparts on other ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet. This area used to be part of the Jester’s night club on the ship. This version of Chops Grille is located on deck 4, forward, across from the Schooner Bar. Unfortunately, those who purchase the Royal Caribbean unlimited dining package have to wait to make reservations until onboard the ship. Thus, we made sure to secure a reservation pre-cruise using the online cruise planner. This venue is one of the most popular places to dine on Royal Caribbean.

On the cusp of a new console generation, I can only hope for a remaster so that more people can experience this slept-on gem.Īrkham Citymight be a perfect sequel. Factor in some of the best boss battles in the series, along with a memorable, stand-alone narrative, and Arkham Origins proves to be a pretty solid package that deserves more than what it got. Some of the story sequences showcased rival the frightening visual spectacle of the Scarecrow encounters from Arkham Asylum. However, what it lacks in innovation it makes up for in presentation. With no current generation ports, and only the physical version being backwards compatible on Xbox, it’s very possible Arkham Origins could one day be a game that’s lost to time, and that would be a damn shame because it’s a hysterically underrated part of this franchise.Īrkham Origins plays more or less the same as Arkham City aside from a devil trigger-esque mechanic utilizing shock gloves, there’s nothing particularly new, but being too similar to Arkham City is hardly a negative. It’s not even featured in the Return to Arkham collection that brought the series to the next generation. The black sheep of the franchise, Arkham Origins hasn’t gained the same fervor it’s compatriots have. All that said, its pros ultimately outweigh its cons, but just like the escaped convicts scattered around Gotham, they’re difficult to ignore. And despite boasting an impressive amount of playable characters, the inability to play as them in the game’s open world feels like a missed opportunity. There’s a regrettably large focus on piloting the Batmobile, which is a clunky mess. However, every so often the game takes several steps back. Additions such as stylish fear takedowns, environmental attacks, and utilizing blunt weapons empower the player greatly. All sound like excellent premises on their own, but in practice, feel disjointed, rarely meshing together as Batman is constantly pulled between them.įortunately, Arkham Knight compensates for its lackluster narrative by being the most mechanically sound entry. It toys with several potent ideas: Batman potentially losing his sanity, Scarecrow wanting to pump Gotham full of fear gas, and a villain who is literally a re-skinned Red Hood. “Overpromise, underdeliver” - There are hardly two words that more appropriately describe Arkham Knight. But just like Rocksteady’s work on the rest of the series, it’s an expertly crafted experience that makes for a joyous couple of hours. It only takes an hour or two to exhaust Arkham VR of its content. Its contents are tragic, but perhaps the true tragedy is that it’s over in the blink of an eye. It makes wondrous use of VR technology throughout, serving as a testament to how dynamic storytelling in VR can be. But the lack of combat prevents the player from ever being more than just a detective in a bat suit for being the only game to allow full, manual control of Batman’s fists, it’s a real bummer.įortunately, Arkham VR has a strong-enough story to fall back on. Consisting of puzzles ranging from solving murders to running autopsies, Arkham VR wants the player to be the world’s greatest detective, and it mostly succeeds. Rather than focus on the high-flying combat and exploration of the rest of the series, Arkham VR places more of an emphasis on the detective portion of Batman’s resume.

Please let me know if you found this post (and the last one on how to install Subversion) useful, if so I might start to blog about Subversion even more. That's it, the repository is fully available to any user that you have created an htpasswd entry for in /etc/apache2/svn.htpasswd and who has a suitable Subversion client ( TortoiseSVN and RapidSVN are two that I have used).įor full documentation on how to really use Subversion, please take a look at the O'Reilly Version Control with Subversion online book or buy the rather excellent book Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion by Mike Mason. Now revisit that URL again, and it should be a slightly nicer view of the repository, now with two files in it, svnindex.xsl and svnindex.css. Svn import svnindex.css -m "Improved web interface." Svn import svnindex.xsl -m "Improved web interface." This means that you just have to import the two files into Subversion for the changes to take effect:Ĭd /usr/local/src/subversion-1.2.1/tools/xslt These XSL and CSS files need to be added to the virtual host's document root, but as you may have noticed the DocumentRoot is the root of the Subversion repository. There is a slightly nicer skin that can be applied to Subversion to make the repository view cleaner, it's tucked away in the /usr/local/src/subversion-1.2.1/tools/xslt directory. Ok, try that URL again, you should be able to login and see a rather basic view of an empty Subversion repository. If you now point your browser at you should see a web view of your new repository.what's that? It's asking for a username and password? Oh yes, we need to create any required users via the Apache htpasswd utility: That's the repository created, now we need to restart Apache to let the WebDAV & Subversion modules know that the repository is now available: Now that the repository's root directory has been created, it's best to be the same user as Apache when creating the repository to ensure the files are created with the correct permissions: The repository must be 'owned' by the same user that Apache runs as, otherwise read/write access may be blocked and all sorts of strange problems can occur, Debian runs Apache as user www-data by default: Ok, that's Apache all done and dusted, now we just have to actually create the repository and then we are done. Now we need to make the Subversion site available to Apache: As you can see, it points the WebDAV & Subversion modules at /var/svn which will be the root of our repository, and uses Apache's htpasswd authentication to validate access. Again, Debian does things a little different with virtual hosts, it has them listed as separate virtual host configuration files in sites-available and then enables them in sites-enabled:ĭue to Blogger being a pain when it comes to trying to post details containing lots of 's, I'm including a link to an almost-copy of my Subversion virtual host configuration file. That's the modules configured, now we need to create the Subversion virtual host entry that will point to our Subversion repository. ![]() Now we need to enable them so that Apache will load them when it restarts: We need to create the two required module configuration files that are required by Subversion (we just removed them from /etc/apache2/nf!):Įcho "LoadModule dav_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so" > dav_svn.loadĮcho "LoadModule authz_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authz_svn.so" > authz_svn.load It lists the available modules as individual configuration files within a mods-available directory, then enables these by linking to them from a mods-enabled directory. edit /etc/apache2/nf and remove the 2 uncommented LoadModule lines.ĭebian loads modules a little differently that the default Apache2. This is not wanted as the Debian version of Apache2 installs things slightly differently from the default Apache (nf is not used, all this configuration now lives in nf, plus the loading of modules is done differently). When you install Subversion, it adds two LoadModule lines to /etc/apache2/nf. This post will cover the resulting configuration of Apache, plus the creation of the initial repository. My last post documented how to install Subversion. ![]() ![]() In the next 30 minutes, we must burn or as the entire rope burns in 60 minutes.īoth the intervals or burn in 30 minutes time. We can burn the interval from either endpoint. Proof A: Think about rope A as the interval. Repeating this process if necessary, the rope will always have 3 flames and so it will burn in 20 minutes. At exactly that instant, light the remaining rope somewhere in the middle to keep 3 flames going. At some point, the two flames headed towards each other might meet and cancel each other out. Light the rope at one end and somewhere in the middle. Since a single rope burns in 30 = 60/2 minutes when burned by two flames, we deduce a single rope will burn in 20 = 60/3 minutes with three flames. We can measure 30 minutes by burning one rope at both ends, so we can solve this if we can measure 20 minutes on the other rope. Therefore, the total time to burn both ropes is 30 + 15 = 45 minutes. By similar logic, it will take 15 minutes to burn what remains of rope B with two flames. (*more precise proof below)Īfter 30 minutes, some amount of rope B is left. If rope A burns in 60 minutes with one flame, then it would burn in 30 = 60/2 with two flames. To see why, first note that it takes rope A exactly 30 minutes to burn up. The time from the start to when rope B burns up is exactly 45 minutes. Exactly when rope A burns up, light the other end of rope B. At the start, light both ends of rope A and one end rope B.

On the other hand, for obtaining a socket colour that an item is biased against (e.g. obtaining red sockets on a chest piece requiring high Strength), using Chromatic Orbs manually is less costly than using the Bench. When obtaining socket colours that an item is already biased towards (e.g. getting all red sockets on an item requiring high intelligence), one can instead use the Crafting Bench recipe found in the Delve mine.

In other words, unchecking the boxes did not make these forms of metadata completely go away, but just appear in a more or less condensed format. As I did so, it disappeared from the information card beneath my selected topic, and appeared in an icon only view within the topic itself. I then returned to the information card properties and unclicked each of these four settings, one at a time. I populated one topic with all four of the elements that can be shown in the information card: a label, notes, hyperlink and task info. The task priority and percentage complete still appear to the left of the topic. ![]() The other thing that was a bit confusing is that one of the information card settings is “show task info.” But the only task data that actually appears in the information card is the start and end dates. After a bit of experimentation, I finally figured out that you had to click in a blank area of the workspace in order for the settings to appear – exactly the opposite of what I would’ve expected. To begin with, I couldn’t figure out why I could see the information card settings in the properties window sometimes but not other times. In practice, however, I found it rather clunky to use. In theory, this is potentially a valuable feature, because it gives you a lot of control over how much or how little information you displaying your mind maps.
