Manufactured Peace

Shiny new toy. :3

I'm not allowed to go to Game Shack any more. I went in today to see if they had Unreal Tournament 3 and left $100 poorer.

Picked up:

• Geist
• Okami
• Dungeon Maker, so I have something to do on the bus again
• Fallout Collection (Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics)

Almost picked up:

• Galactic Civilizations
• Painkiller Collection
• Elite Beat Agents

Did not pick up:

• Unreal Tournament Anything

Dammit.

I spent three hours today reviewing someone's code
Do I get any review when I explicitly ask for some?
No!
They can all suck the legend that is my cock

GL

bwahaahah

GL

Owen

Owen

Livehoornal?

GL

Go. Post!

Damn, where's Cropherb when I need him?

Dear Lazyweb,

I'd like to teach some friends of mine how to develop software. Oddly enough, they also want to learn from me. It seems like the best way to do it would be to pair with them in an apprenticeship-like way. Is there a good way to do that over the internet?

Ideally, it'd be a shared editing space; pairing via version control is fraught with annoying. VNC's slow for whoever's on the wrong end of the stick, and X and RDP both depend on platforms at least one person involved doesn't have.

Suggestions?

Holy crap, Odin Sphere is gorgeous.

It's also BITCH HARD. By the third chapter, my thumbs were bruised and I'd already thrown the controller twice, and I'm a gamer.

WTF, SNOW.

I quit.

Also, I've been awake. Since ten. Yesterday morning.

If any of you feel like telling your Wii about my Wii, the number you want is 7153 6042 6048 1636.

There's some other number, for Mario Kart, that I've now lost since I just reformatted mine.

So, yeah.

Ottawa. Friday night. Coming back on Saturday.

But where am I sleeping?

It occurs to me that Red Rain would make a pretty awesome rock band/guitar hero song. The guitar bits have nice repetitious bits under vocals *and* some pretty awesome fiddly solos; the vocals aren't *that* hard but are pretty agressive, and the pacing is good.

Edit: Jerusalem too, if you don't mind Bruce's fucking impossible vocals.

The only bright spot in my day today is finding pretty boy porn in my inbox.

So, yeah.

How *you* doin'?

(ps I just lost the game)

So Webkinz wants to pay me 70k to go work on their stuff.

The roof
The roof
The roof is on fire.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha .

Birds!

Lunch? Rock Band? Neither/both?

"While we know many people far exceed 40 hours per week, we ask that you log only 8 hours per day ..."

Is it just me, or does that read like "Please lie so that HR's numbers add up nicely"?

I am not authorized to view the CAT PARTY.

This is a grave injustice and I am quitting livejournal forever because of it.

I'm totally not drunk.

Call me when you get off work tomorrow. I know you hate the phone, but do it anyways. :B

My ISP finally got around to plugging in their end of the DSL connection today, so bast is back on the air. Nothing seems to have gotten disturbed in the move, but I did have to make some config changes to support the new ISP, so if you see any lingering weirdness that wasn't there before, let me know.

And, as long promised, my new contact information:

And a vCard for Address Book if you don't want to type all of that in yourself.

This place is starting, just vaguely, to feel like home. There are still boxes everywhere (so no photos yet, sorry Keri), since I need many more shelves and have no money to go to Ikea with yet, but I'm starting to know my way around in the dark and I'm starting to relax when I get in after work.
