Making dinner. Steak and sweet potato with salad.

Big plans to vacuum the house and jump back in to QuakeLive after work (and before my wife gets home from work).

5 hours until QuakeLive opens up to the rest of the world.

Looking forward to playing with the rest of the world in Quake Live. Maybe now the ***holes will be fewer and further between.

McCain's Rising Crust Pizza makes my mouth happy.

Looking for a lighter-weight window manager that I haven't tried. Compiling Enlightenment at the moment.

Using my public library for the first time in ages. It's like using NetFlix, with a queue and everything :D

Listening to Neil Gaiman read Coraline (Chapter 9).

Watching "Quarantine" today. Watched "Rec" (the original) yesterday. Drawing comparisons (almost identical).

Upgrading my local LUG's software.

Dang! That's a great weekend deal on SteamPowered. Too bad I've already bought three of those titles. I just want Eets. And maybe Gravitron.

To those who never wanted to Quake with me: You missed the boat on the QLive invite. It's open for all Feb 24.

Attempting to learn Vi.

Looks like I'm still on for PAX'09. Pre-Registration is open now, too.

Playing Ikariam. It's like Civilization but through the browser. http://ikariam.org/

Converting coffee and birthday cake into javascript debugging fuel.

Downloading "TribesNext". Tribes 2 was awesome back in the day. I played it for the vehicles.

Just arrived at the realization that my Dad's 50th birthday coincides with PAX'09. Looks like I've got to miss PAX :-S

Feeling good. Just donated USD $5 to Helios/Lobby4Linux. Been reading for a long time now. You should donate, too!

Just picked up the Violet Deck for Killer Bunnies. All the carrots are mine, now! Bwahaha.

Cool! Quarantine is out on DVD today. I hope it's as good as Rec (the original) was.

Politely requesting assistance from Pink Godzilla Games in regard to ordering Dev Kit. $50 shipping? Must be a mistake.

Frustrated at work. There's got to be a name for the phenomenon that's going on. Bloat? Not quite... maybe close enough.

Tappy Tappy Tappy all day long. All day long I sing this song. Tappy Tappy Tap...

Double-Fun Horror Night is over. Watched "Hellraiser" and "Event Horizon". Heading to bed now.

Just finished reading "The Thief of Always" by Clive Barker. Now I'm in the mood for a good horror movie. Hellraiser? Event Horizon? Mmm :)

Heading to bed. Going to listen to another couple chapters of Neil Gaiman's "Coraline" and then fall asleep. Missing my wife.

About to start a Mass Effect campaign on Insanity difficulty.

Kicking some serious digital-butt with the tutorials tonight. XBMC with IR support! http://ping.fm/e8bU0

Configuring my XBMC Lircmap.xml file to respond to the IR remote button presses.

Configuring LIRC to work with Ubuntu. http://ping.fm/E43Bm

Happy 1234567890 unix timestamp, everyone!

Exercising an ASS-load of self-restraint in not purchasing Left4Dead when it's 50 freaking percent off

Work + boredom = ? on a Friday afternoon.

It appears my first review of the 42LG55 didn't pass thesource.ca censorship. Writing a second review now.

Almost done "The Thief of Always". Almost time for sleep, too.

Listening to NiN and reading Clive Barker's "The Thief of Always"

Sitting at work, thinking of my wife. Hang in there, Tiger.

Reading the http://aigamedev.com essay on bot creation in Introversion Software's game "DefCon".

Fiddling with menus or "dialogues", creating them in Javascript. Getting the transfer of data from one dialogue to another.

w00t :) Introversion Software, to whom I attribute the inspiration to my Twitter background, found me on Twitter.

Cool. NCIX finally has a Nite-Owl special. It has been a long time.

Currently at 6+ battery hours of RockBox usage on a 5G iPod. Albeit, minimum volume while amplifying audio through desktop speakers.

At work, confusing my Mom with my tweets. Sorry Mom :) http://ping.fm/MFLNy

The Woz is on this season of Dancing With the Stars? I'm going to have to watch the series while he's on it!

Reading up on the status of "Keith" Henson. I had lunch with him once and he was a really nice guy.

Just read Enders Game for the first time. What a great story.

Staying in, where it's warm. Watching Edward Scissorhands on BluRay soon.

Shopping at 2:30am...whoops. Unwittingly purchased AstroBoy 2003 series when I thought I was buying the 1980s series.

Halfway through Ender's Game. Reading it for the first time.

Just bought a 6ft HDMI cable and a media center IR remote from NewEgg. Was cheaper than NCIX!

Passing the time, pretending to be Hiro Nakamura from S01E01 Heroes, minus the super powers.

Recurse I tell you! Recurse, damn algorithm. GAH! stack overflow. (A Haiku I submitted to Think Geek).

I LOLed at Zack and Miri Make A Porno. Brainless and funny stuff.

Watching RCMP chase after pot-smoking Swedish transients. Just another day at the office.

Richard Garriot's "Tabula Rasa" is closing down at the end of February. The game is currently free, yet stores are still selling it.

Updating the iPod to Rockbox v3.1, crossing my fingers for longer battery life.

Mark your calendars: Timestamp(1234567890) is coming February 13 at 3:31:30pm PST. http://ping.fm/33Beg

Playing Earthbound for the first time.

Just found that British Columbia public libraries offer eBook and audiobook downloads... with pretty weak security (plain-text XML, no key).

Kicking butt and not interested in taking names. Making this Javascript-powered image manipulation program something fancy.

Rawking the LG GGC-H20L internal Blu-Ray player. Certainly cheaper than a dedicated Blu-Ray player (or PS3).

Rawking my "classic" 750MHz Duron. It seems faster than the Acer Aspire One netbook that I returned.

Awesome FutureShop sale February 2nd. In Store and Online starting at 5PM EST. http://ping.fm/3z8DG

Co-worker is working out how many days "missed" if someone works 50 of 60 minutes every hour "full time"... huh.

That Osmond dude on tonight's American Idol looks like @DannyTRS

Almost two and a half hours of downtime from Telus business internet. I demand free residential internets! For a YEAR! j/k

rocking it on an Acer Aspire One.

w00t. New TV set up in my living room.

Just ordered a slow-ass 2GB USB key for $3.35, brand new from Future Shop.

Bill Gates to post tomorrow what he plans to be an annual letter to the public.

I now own licenses to every game Introversion has released commercially :) Looking forward to Subversion!

The UoCalgary Law class is going to be surprised when too many people try to cram 182 seats for a visit from Richard Stallman. I want to see

Playing Mass Effect... again. So good.

Looking at the great deals the Dell outlet has ($289 USD for 8GB SSD, 1GB RAM and 1.3MB webcam). Unfortunately, serves US only.

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".
