I had this error message when trying to log onto Steam today. I left it a couple of hours but it still wouldn’t let me log on.
Cannot Connect to Steam Network – please try again later.
What you may need to do, which worked for me is to delete ‘ClientRegistry.blob’ in Steam’s installation folder (C:\Program Files\Steam) and try to restart steam. If this doesn’t do the trick try deleting ‘AppUpdateStats.blob‘.

I also had to run Steam with administrator privileges initially after this to get it to work, let me know if this works for you too.
Here are some Panoramas and Screenshots I took from Bungie’s recent Halo Reach Beta. Just a few I didn’t go too crazy with these. When the full game comes out I will take plenty! MjolnirTactics has some amazing full screen Panoramas that put mine to shame, and so does HaLo2FrEeEk which you can see at the end of the post.

So that’s great, but the tags are hidden away on the search page, wouldn’t it be great to show these on the home page somewhere? Luckily is relatively simple to achieve.

It took me an hour or so to find out how to install which was a pain, so for anyone having trouble here is the code your need. Replace the wget with the latest version to install the most recent, up-to date version.
These instructions are for the CLI, terminal version so no GUI here.
