Toby is going to be fine.
According to the vet, he somehow acquired an injury to his neck which became infected, developing an abcess. The infection caused him to become sick, and the smell was the infected pus. We need to keep it clean and give him antibiotics and it will heal on it's own.
Other than [...]

So, Toby, our youngest, has been battling something like “cat flu” for the past week – sleepiness, sneezing, runny nose, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc. He seemed to be coming out of it recently, however. On Thursday he ate some tuna. By Friday he was eating wet food again (we bought some especially for him [...]

Lizzy was out with her college roommate tonight, which gave me time to catch up on my TiVo-ed history channel programs and bang these out.
Major NPC Char Sheet
This is designed for major NPC's, Lieutenants and stuff. I figure that for truly PC level chars (kingpins, contracted NPC's on the players side, etc.), we use the [...]

Parts of Cooper Hill road were flooded and cordoned off with cones and barricades, blocking the way out to 44. So, we had to go around and up 7, then over on 116 (or 104 or 5, or whatever that road is that comes out by Dave's Market).
We went to Barnes and Noble and got [...]

- WOW! Healing god way better. Basically, every day make a Body*2 test. Each hit = 1 box of physical damage healed. With a rule like this, we're going to use the stock heal spell (under the old rules, it ended up taking weeks to heal).
- First aid is actually pretty useful too.
- Biofiber is [...]

So, my first day was today.
I should have asked when it started. Turns out this is a 9-5 shop.
I was there at quarter of 8, because I'm used to 8-5 shops. I didn't know there were 9-5 shops anymore.
So, I can sleep until 7:30, which is how late I was sleeping when working from home [...]

So, everyone should go have a look at AnnualCreditReport. Basically, the new federal legislation finally went into effect that says that people are entitled to one free copy of their credit report each year, from each agency. So, I went and checked mine out. There's literally everything in there. Every loan, credit card, what the [...]

It occurs to me that the supreme court decision allowing government to sieze private property for “the greater good”, even if that means to sell it to private developers easily lays the groundwork for socialized utilities. Think about it: if you can make a strong enough case that the State can do the job better [...]

Nutshell version:
- Sony caves to Fox and adds strong copy protection to Blu-Ray format. This protection is supposed to “stop piracy”, but basically the concern is that it will only play movies in an approved DVD player, and not in PC's.
- Since MS's XBox 360 plans center around a standard DVD drive and streaming movies [...]
