It's about 2:45 AM. Just got awakened by the phone ringing and someone knocking on the door at about 1:30 AM. Turned out to be the power company tech. I'd made a call, but I wasn't expecting him in the middle of the night. But it's cool; I wasn't sleeping anyway. Not really; more like tossing and t…

Guild Wars is a Class A, five-star rated time killer of colossal proportions. Seriously. This damned game has absolutely killed the last vestiges of my productivity.

Some weird things are happening around here. The other night I was sitting here (actually coding, surprise surprise, rather than playi…

30 years old today. 30!

It's been an interesting couple of weeks. Working some long hours at work, trying to keep things going while my boss recovers from his surgery.

I picked up Guild Wars last week, and I've been playing it quite a bit. Slowing down a little now, but I still play it every other day or so. It's a pretty …

Funny thing happened to me at work today.

I was driving down a semi-rural road (in a little town on the edge of the metro area, called Buckeye) on my way to my first job-site at about 7:30 this morning. Window rolled down because the A/C in my truck is broke, and God's been fiddling with the thermos…

My cousin sent me this pic from a long-ass time ago. Brought back all sort of memories, of good times and of sad times. (See you another day, Justin). willystickman, you rock bro.

Yar, I was an ugly little pud, and yar that is a Noid T-shirt. Wish I still had it. [grin]

My boss/cousin (or whatever I should call him; he's married to my cousin, and he supplies me with all of my contract work, though he's not really my 'boss'; anyway) went under the knife yesterday to have a cancerous tumor removed. They had to crack him open like a nut, split him right down the ster…

Dug out luabind and started tinkering with it. And in the process I (finally) moved on to Lua 5.0. I've been sticking with 4.0 because they changed a few things and I didn't really want to break a bunch of existing code. But since I'm not working on any of that existing code right now, I figured I'…

I broke my chair today, and went ass over tea-kettle onto the floor. It was very embarassing. Good thing nobody was around to see.

evolutional's got me switched over to using Code::Blocks, and I've got to say that so far it's pretty cool. It's a trifle buggy, and I've had some stability issues, but …

I've been spending quite a bit of time playing Knights of the Old Republic 2 lately, but I'm getting bored with it now. As a result, I've come to a sort of revelation that isn't very earth-shaking, but is somewhat startling to me nonetheless.

I don't like RPGs.

Which is unusual, I think, because it's…
