I refreshed my browser a lot more than I think anyone should ever refresh their browser in a given day.

I also chilled on the beach in Hawaii.

I contemplated if they dropped their laptop... er... server again. That, and I've been playing the back to the future game.

Anyway if they switch to a Mac with one of those disconnecting power cables this wouldn't happen as much.

They've forgotten to feed the hamsters again...

Meanwhile, in a twenty mile radius, the power went out five times in a row, and we were left without power for several hours. (Perfect weather; no abnormalities in sight!?)
It was amazing.

The end.
I was constantly thinking about betraying gamedev and moving to eurobricks instead. But they is not being teh lounge

And this was the first time I ever looked at twitter...
I inadvertently began a six hour deep web-trawl by following the Damn Cool Algorithm link on the twitter feed. Thanks GameDev! I really didn't need to be productive today anyway. My big mistake was following the blog roll to Coding Horror...
I became a believer and started praying for GDNet's second (or is it third?fourth?nth?) coming...
the hardest part is the beginning...

I stayed sad and worked. Went to other websites during breaks. It was a very troubling experience.

Sought counseling, became an eremite, and eventually moved into a nearby mountain range. So, nothing much really.

Ah yes, the thing that no one else can make, because Apple patented the fridge magnet, and refuse to even licence.
