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 "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.

Just popped my Last.FM cherry.

Quick blurb on how to use the google.com/jsapi and jQuery. http://ping.fm/IAfLW

Finishing up the content of the Warcrabs! manual before doing one final proof-read and edit.

Over a month's worth of 365 Challenge photos uploaded: http://ping.fm/0T6HG

It's like freaking Christmas here in the office. Just got a second monitor for my workstation *AND* we're getting Japanese for lunch.

Just completed a LaTeX source for the Warcrabs! manual. Now the community has something to build upon, in addition to the pre-existing Wiki.

Submitting a typo correction to the maintainer of a google labs page.

It has been a full day. Time to slip into unconsciousness.

I think I just made a friend at work. I call him "Firebug".

Setting up dotProject on my VBox here at work. Might be able to manage myself now!

Being multitalented. Watching Travelling Pants 2, working on the LUG site and drinking caffeinated beverages.

Setting up LaTeX to create a better Warcrabs! manual.

Today, and against my will, I am Wally: http://ping.fm/0wCgJ(Dilbert_character)

Reading up on Forgotten Realms and Baldur's Gate and sitting around waiting for the boss to show up because I've got nothing to do!

It has been a fun night of playing and learning. Note to self: Request actual admin to grant my user admin permissions for LUG forum.

Having fun setting up the LUG site. Configuring the favicon.

Flipping through Drupal themes. Looking for something that says, "I'm simple to navigate. Come learn something."

Decorating our first Christmas tree

My PC is set up all awesome-like now. Time to do awesome things.

Why does windows have to take so long creating a 208GB NTFS partition? It's 3:09am and only 66% complete.

Reinstalled WinXP on a 15GB partition. The rest of the drive is for non-essential apps. Quicker defrag (jkdefrag anyone?) with smaller drive

I wasn't prepared for Vault 106. I thought my video card or monitor was about to kick the bucket.

Eating beans in molasses. Mmm. I like beans.

How to set up Laconica on your GoDaddy hosting: http://ping.fm/QPCWu (It's easy!)

Cool. Setting up Laconica on a GoDaddy econ hosting wasn't very hard at all. Not after reading the Laconica README.

Just about to set up Laconica on my personal webserver. Then I can bypass Twitter and it's (oft-frequent) downtime.

w00t! The Dragon Age Origins FAQ says the PC version is set for release in early 2009!!!

Recalling a chapter in the book "Masters of Doom". Well, this chapter of my life is going in my biography when I'm famous!

Rawking out to the album "A santa Cause 2: It's a Punk Rock Christmas"

Looking for things to decorate my walls. Already printed off the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Caffeine Molecule. Any other resources?

Watching someone put up the City's Christmas decorations along the street lamps.

I feel like I was up all night. Could have sworn I was asleep shortly after midnight.

Downloading DamnSmallLinux-4.3RC2 for configuration into a security tools distribution.

Playing NwN. Staying away from the girly party going on downstairs.

Installing a minimal Ubuntu 8.10 virtualbox with the mini.iso

Playing NeverwinterNights from within Linux, without using Wine, and listening to the Linux Action Show. What could be better Saturday Night

Trying to put together a script to update Facebook from the command line. Not as easy as Twitter, it appears.

Kickin' it in Neverwinter Nights. Literally. I'm a monk. I do Kung-Fu.

Reading the Facebook API for setStatus() to complement my command-line social status updater.

Watching the snow fall outside. Saturday says there's no chance it's sticking around long. Take that, Old-Man Winter!

Rawking out like a mild-mannered superhero at work.

Chillin' like a villain. And stuff.

Wondering what the average age of a 5'8" 16 year old male is? http://ping.fm/62D6H

Power is out from a wind-storm last night. 30 minutes late at work.

Swung 10 votes Izaak's way.

Compiling TheGimp 2.6.2 because I hate the Ubuntu 8.10 layout of TheGimp. Here's hoping this one is different.

Converting ammo into experience points at a very good exchange rate. Hooray, Fallout 3

Just got involved in the previously mentioned "Linux is a Toy" troll. Whoops. I could only ignore the bait for so long.

Putting on a show for some very important clients. I was made to replace my coffee-stained piece of paper I use for a coaster. It was art!

Playing with Turtle Graphics. Turtle. Turtle!

Carefully excavating the top layer of beans, as I eat, so I don't plow through the Queen Bean Over-lard. I mean Overlord.

Poking my cursor around U of Calgary and Ohio State U's computer science dept. websites.

Printing off the Warcrabs! rulebook again. I intend to rework the PDF into a newer version.

Finally got around to setting up TortoiseSVN on my work PC.

Finished the Fallout 3 main story an hour ago. I'm sad to see there's no continuation after the finale. Have to start over or don't finish.

Waking up with the Linux Action Show at Jupiterbroadcasting.com

Could keep going all night. No time is a good time to put Fallout 3 away and go to sleep.

Heck yes! My "Zombie Survival Guide" just arrived. Undead, beware.

w00t. First snow up at Silver Star Mountain Resort. 3cm new snow, 0cm base. -1C. It can stay up there allllll winter, please.

Kickin' it oldschool

Still trucking through "Learning Perl", picking up good practices I may have missed from never reading the book.

Dead tired. Stayed up "just a little longer" to finish Sonic Chronicles last night. It has a satisfying conclusion.
