Waiting for Liz to put me back to work….
Anyway, Saturday at Historicon was basically a wash. I had two games I wanted to try to play that didn't happen. The first was a very large game in a very small, hot room. The second was an unscheduled game that seems to have been cancelled. But, [...]

It's been a good convention so far. ESR was supposed to show up today, but I haven't seen him yet.
I played in a modern infantry/armor game (US Army vs. Iraqi's). Of course, the GM played the Iraqis because they're not that much fun to play as they fairly easily get slaughtered. But, I won [...]

I like Macs because I can, in good conscience, recommend them for people as a computer. This is opposed to Linux, where I have to listen to their bitching about how Linux is [crap|difficult to use|annoying to install|looks funny] whatever.
This was prompted by the fact that my mother (an archetypal “uses a computer at work [...]

- So, the annoying cats managed to break a bottle of Jose Cuervo. The thing is, they were sneaky about it. We came home, and the floor was wet, and it smelled odd. We couldn't place it right away, and traced it up to the shelf, and then noticed that the back was broken out [...]

- We went to Best Buy and got Liz some new speakers to match the Mac. We also picked up some DVD's.
- Then we went on to Kitchens, Etc., because they're going out of business, and everything is 10% off. Of course, pretty much everything good had been taken.
- We had some coupons for Bed, [...]

Remember this post about how Cingular sucks?
Well, guess what – they STILL suck, only I have official confirmation this time.
1.) I have not been able to pay my bill for 2 weeks because their website is broken, and I get an “unknown error”.
2.) I would be in trouble, not having a paper bill and all, [...]

So, Liz gave me my presents yesterday (she was at her parents' house the previous week).
- 4 french onion soup crocks (onion soup is one of my favorites)
- A copy of Coffee, which is, as it's name would imply, a book on coffee. I like this because coffee is the one substance that I REALLY [...]

This is an amalgam of various stupidities:
1.) A commercial which states “People prefer the taste of new Lays (whatever they're called) over Pringles. Why? Because they taste better!”. Well gee folks; if people prefer the taste, then might it be because they taste better?
2.) A commercial which states “What does the phone company know about [...]

So, much like this post where I talk about the windows box doing cancer research, all my Linux boxen have joined Seti@home. I really wish I could find something more worthwhile to do with my spare CPU time, but unfortinately, that cure for cancer thing only runs on Windows. Sad, especially since cancer gets 1 [...]

My parents rock:
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex
5 port gig-e switch.
WRT54G router – you know, the one that runs Linux and has all the custom f/w for it?
And a couple video games.
Time to go to sleep.
