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.

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?
