Canceling the Inspiron Mini 9 order. Dell took too long.

Writing to Alex Gruzen, the Senior VP, Dell Product Group. Subject "Mini 9 call to attention". Give us an explanation, please.

Success! My 365 is done. http://ping.fm/0T6HG

Inquiring to BioWare what freedoms we eager fans have in regard to the downloadable posters they've made available.

w00t w00t! Battlestar Galactica on tonight!

My right eyelid is going crazy. *flutter*flutter*.

Listening to the Mass Effect OST while at work. Warmth and fuzziness ensues.

Laughing at posts made to usenet by "Chronocidal Charlie". He sounds like the character, Ali G.

Still waiting on the Dell Mini 9 to ship. By Dell's original estimation, it should be arriving tomorrow.

13 days after placing the order, still waiting on the Dell Mini 9 to go into delivery. Anyone else experiencing a long delay with Dell?

Reading a great article on the proliferation of Linux (and Ubuntu). I digg it. http://ping.fm/f2lBz

Still working on the Medievia Auctioneer script. Was going to call it "Auctioneer" but it appears that's a WoW thing. Maybe "Auction House".

"Oh WOW!" @ FF XIII screens.

gmailfs is turning into a pain-in-the-butt to configure. I wonder if it saved/loaded from RAM anyway? Don't want to touch the disk drive.

Created a secondary gmail account to take advantage of "gSpace" with my Mini 9.

Oooh! I want the book, "The Best of 2600: A Hacker Odyssey". The collector edition comes out next week!

It's a horror movie night, tonight. I'm feeling like... Ju-On. With the lights off!

Scored "Xenocide", "Children of the Mind" and "Ender's Shadow" for $13.50 today.

Tapping out plain-ol' HTML.

The boss is learning I take things literally. "Move to" doesn't mean "Copy into" when you've got a Computer Science degree.

The dilemma: To help find a cure for human ailments (Folding@home) or search for extra-terrestrial life (SETI@home)...

Taking the last few steps to getting this LUG off the ground.

Dell CS sez: Mini 9 late to production due to insufficient quantity of parts. Expected to still be delivered on or near estimated date.

8 days and still Dell has not moved my Mini 9 into production :(

Just picked up the Red expansion deck for "Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot".

Checking my Dell tracking number... every hour! The Mini 9 is still in pre-production.

Posted the rules for the "Killer Unnies with a 'b' Consuming Game". http://ping.fm/ZVVdz

January 16, baby! Bears, Beets and Battlestar Galactica! Second half of the final season coming up.

Going to post, in the next couple days, the rules for our Killer Bunnies drinking game.

Boom? Boom goes the dynamite?

Loving this last week for all the "Best _ of 2008" articles.

Contemplating the fact there are no Dragon Age fan sites. There's that forum aggregate, but nothing meaty. It's a prime real-estate...

That's it, no more phone ordering for me any more. I'm going to be impersonal!

Dude is trying to sell me a TV. He's offered two and he's lowered the price twice.

Thought it might be nice to phone in my order for an Inspiron Mini 9. Now I'm sitting through a sales pitch to buy more.

Oh Flock, how I've missed you. And Vancouverian, too.

Re-installing Flock browser after half a year without it. I kind of miss it.

Almost feeling bad for the ungoshly beating I'm giving the monsters in Dungeon Runners (an awesome alternative to WoW).

Loving Songbird. It's my MacDaddy of cross-platform media players. http://getsongbird.com/

Messing with Dungeon Runners to work within Ubuntu. How-To to be posted soon.

Getting down and dirty with my Logitech G15 keyboard in Ubuntu.

Getting irresponsible. Cracking open 1.18L of Olde English "800".

Reached level 25 today. Current class: Human Code-Monkey. Weapon of choice: Wired USB Keyboard and Mouse. Happy BDay to me.

Getting back into the swing of things this Monday morning after 5 days off by writing a few small Perl scripts.

Reading "The Watchmen".

993 drinking games to go.

Bought my best friend "1000 drinking games" for Christmas. It's my birthday party and I'm paying for it (again) now.

Doing the birthday party thing. Sneaking away from the party for a moment.

Heading out to a Christmas Eve party. Merry Ho Ho.

Installing Prey, for Linux.

Anxiously awaiting "In Transit" to change into "Delivered". Holiday shopping deals ftw.

Thinking twice about downloading Wikipedia for a personal mirror. Even Wikiversity (considerably smaller) is taking forever to import.

Glad to see a Wikimedia dump in progress. Downloading the archive of Wikipedia when it's done. http://ping.fm/C9O3U

Whoa, nifty new iGoogle interface. I think I was the first to Digg.

Benefit to ordering from NCIX when you live in the interior of BC: Two day delivery with cheap ground shipping.

Wishing this UPS tracking number worked. I'm a fiend for following the status of my orders.

Just ordered Prey, you know, to support Linux gaming.

Eating Pork'n'Beans while listening to Pork'n'Beans :D :D

MathML... what a great idea. Just installed it for my pmWiki. {$ (n!)/((k!*(n-k)!)) $}

Indulging my family and friends as they wonder (within Facebook) why my status updates so many times within a day.

We are definitely having a white Christmas this year. Makes one want to work from home.

Downloading a buttload of FOSS games to introduce my brother to the world of quality, free electronic entertainment.

Surprise visit! My brother is here in my home :o Welcome back from Iraq.

Killing mobs WoW style in Dungeons Runners. And a whole lot cheaper, too!

"Jingle Bell Rock" won me $50 on a local radio station!

While I wait for Diablo 3, Dungeon Runners will fill the void... maybe.

Setting up an RSS redirect through FeedBurner. Handy!

Setting up my RSSOwl. You know, a variant of FeedDemon would be awesome on a *nix system. Even if it's not tied in to NewsGator.

About to crash with my wife, watching a movie as we fall asleep.

Having a tough time finding something to buy with XMas bonus. Willing to throw in some of my own cash. Budget of $200 or less. Any ideas?

The snow keeps falling. It has been going a day and a half already. Hooray for hills :D

Huh. I didn't think this through. My site could be down for up to 72 hours.

Backing up my databases... before I delete them. Am setting up SSH access to my hosting account.

Having fun creating a 404 error page and updating a logo.

Listening to the 1954 classic radio broadcast "The Day The Earth Stood Still" on http://ping.fm/8qDqd

Upgraded http://n3wt0n.com/blog to Wordpress 2.7. It's got a nifty dashboard. Nice updated thingers.

Here it is, the public release of my Warcrabs! revision. http://ping.fm/3ikXh

Working on http://nolug.ca/ and am quite happy with the logo.

Gee, it looks like I've had a Vox account for a whole year. Thanks, Pownce export tool.

Cruising down the Nerdcore Information SuperHighway to the tune of MC Frontalot.

Blasphemy! Trumpkin, Trufflehunter, Cornelius and Reepicheep don't have names in the Prince Caspian movie!

Noming on Maynards Licorice allsorts. They're fresh and that texture just feels funny. Anyone else prefer stale licorice?

Downloaded all of Season One and Two (1.6GB) of Heroes Graphic Novels. Time to get caught up, then on to Season Three.

Downloading Nine Inch Nails' latest album, "The Slip". Thanks for being so awesome. Also grabbing the Heroes comic books. Awesomeness, too.

"Watching" Home Alone with my wife while I play Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi on the DS.

Watching "D-War: Dragon Wars" for the first time.

Getting all gussied up for my staff Christmas Dinner and Party.

Found at least two articles across the interwebs that used some of my Flickr photos. They gave credit, too. Worms and Computers :)

Bwahahaha. * { position: absolute; } was a smart-ass move for a CSS customization on Plurk.

New apps week (for me). Songbird, Last.FM and Digsby!

Playing with the Songbird media player.

Watching the last episode, as we know it, of The Linux Action Show. http://ping.fm/wpvRX

The boss just showed up with Baileys and Kahlúa for our coffees :) Hello Friday!

Drinking a strooong coffee and creating a "n3wt0n" home for some of my open-source contributions. Links posted soon.

Craving a morning coffee. I knew I should have brought a one-cup coffee maker to work!

An observation: Bosses know exactly what they want until they get exactly what they asked for.

Holy Jalapenos on a stick! Jeff Dunham coming to my city in June!

I have a distaste for "chocolate oranges". In my perfect world, chocolate and oranges to not mix.

You know what I want? Star Trek, the original series. On BlueRay. I don't even have a BlueRay player.

Making my chihuahua bark downstairs by making puking sounds upstairs.
