Cracking open BLT (Bash Loves Twitter) to try to get it to work.

Rawking XBMC. Who doesn't love controlling their PC from the couch with a remote?

Received a bigger tax return than what I filed it as. There's got be a number to call to see if it's really mine.

Kicking it with Lovecraft in "The Dunwich Horror". Been loving H.P. lately.

I want to see a remake of the original Power Rangers movie. Heck, I'd love to see a "Power Rangers: Reimagined". You know you want to...

How awesome would it be to have white facial (and head) hair at 25? I just found two white beard hairs on my face.

Funny (and awesome) how Perl exudes readability... but on the other hand you can convolute the *hell* out of it for a hapless maintainer.

Today's "Shell Shocker" on Newegg.ca is a good'un. I just ordered one. http://ping.fm/4adbb

Inspiration strikes and my zombie vision is complete. Will try to "flesh it out" in the next few days. Will share when complete.

All we wanna do is eat your brains. We're not unreasonable. I mean, no one is going to eat your eyes.

Changing my material license from CC by-sa 2.5 Canada to CC by-nc-sa 2.5 Canada. Share. Free.

Is there a place in this world where someone could talk about Regular Expressions without the audiences eye glazing over? As yet... no idea.

Getting back to work. Grooving to "Blue Sunny Day" by Jonathan Coulton. Hooray for vampires.

Holy c4rp! I made $0.52 USD! That's like... $70 Canadian.

w00t w00t! Just got a Battlefield Heroes beta invite.

Showing 1889.ca books to my wife. These are the types of books (some of them) that I'd read to my little geeks. Eventually.

Working on Piksahl. Trying to, at least. Work never seems to get done when you're not at work.

Cool! Jenna Fischer (Pam Beasley of The Office) is on @theellenshow with her Mom and Dad and her Dad is wearing a Dunder Mifflin golf-tee.

Taking it way back to Grade 8. Trigonometry for the win. Clubhouse for Radians. No Degrees allowed.

A shout out for great stories that deserve support (British Columbian independent publishing - 1889). http://1889.ca/ complements @1889ca

Reading in a local magazine an article about SCUBA diving. Feeling motivated to put my old NASDS (SCUBA) license to use.

Thanks to the re-release of Disney's Pinocchio, I realize the inspiration behind @doctorow 's "Return to Pleasure Island".

The Tribal Trouble 2 beta seems to be open to the public again. I encourage all to try it. http://ping.fm/mI5k9

Why I look forward to Penny Arcade Expo: Being surrounded by like-minded individuals who share excitement for obscure table-top card games.

Working on the "Jumpalot" concept. What's "Jumpalot"? Hrm... What indeed.

w00t! I qualified for the 1-Year Linux Journal digital subscription. Starts w/ the May edition.

Playing some Wesnoth and then heading to bed.

Wishing GoDaddy would get it right when setting up subdomains.

You ever feel like tiny-shorts-guy from the movie "Made of Honor"? You haven't? Oh. No, nevermind.

Building my custom Ubuntu desktop from the 9.9MB mini.iso

Radical! "The Lost Boys" on BluRay looks as good as an 80's movie can look (which is pretty good).

Old married couple night at home. Got a 1 Gallon jug of Merlot (how classy does that sound?) and just picked up The Lost Boys on BluRay!

Giving my zombie shoes.

Generic video game badguy #412: Tuxedo wearing hockey-mask guy.

Darn! The one thing about an encrypted volume: If you forget the pass key, there goes all your data.

w00t! Coraline is waiting for pickup at the Library.

A quick little blurb on creating a simple "Blog Roll" block for Drupal. http://ping.fm/pnQDe

Left unattended at work. Suddenly finding myself very bored :-/

Multitasking. Trying to bring down my 1.2 days worth of unlistened podcasts. Messing with nolug.ca, too.

Telling my office-mates about my "artemia salina" aka brine shrimp aka sea monkeys. Feeling like a big dork because they just don't get it.

Just finished my 2008 taxes (for the third time, to triple-check values). Settled on HR Block and got a $5 discount with code: HB0532KU93

Doing my taxes (Canadian). First time filing a joint return. Seems too easy... I must be doing it wrong.

Rawking the updates to http://nolug.ca/ and finally finding my way around Drupal.

Learning a trick or two with Drupal.

I want a 1-year subscription to Linux Journal. http://ping.fm/Tb41y

Doug sings "Walk this way" then sips drink. Me "Best thing Steve Tyler ever produced was his daughter". Doug spits drink back, through nose.

Reading up on the LQWiki about OpenGL. There's nothing funny about OpenGL.

Wondered why I wasn't getting aggravated with UseNet lately, then I remembered I stopped subscribing to "comp.os.linux.advocacy".

NOM'ing on a bag of Licorice Allsorts Minis. Dispensing codification through my fingertips.

Enlisting the Scrubbing Bubbles Army of Doom to kick that bathtub soap-scum into outer space.

Researching how to clean a bathtub. Mine is definitely not in a usable state. Good for showers but you wouldn't want to soak in it.

Wearing pants. At work. Wishing I didn't have to wear pants today.

Zoinks. My piddly defenses were broken overnight. My town in Ikariam has been pillaged. Worlds best strategist right here!

Being a couch potato. Hello Sunday night.

Trying to use Google Maps to find a cheap-ass motel w/in walking distance of the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.

Dear Futureshop. Tabula Rasa no longer exists commercially. Please stop selling it. KThxBye.

Slowly mirroring a site with wget, realizing now that a 7-second delay between pages is going to take forever. smrt.

Dancing with the Stars starts Monday. Am looking forward to seeing The Woz cut a rug.

Home from a great night of 5-player Killer Bunnies and 2-player "Dev Kit" and icecream cake for all.

Played with XBMC enough. Going to give MythTV a try now. It has vastly lower requirements.

Home now, recharging and getting ready for the WEEKEND. Killer Bunnies and icecream cake in 6 hours! w00t!

Sweet treat for a Friday afternoon. Given a curry chicken lunch and then sent home with pay :)

Mouth watering over the curry chicken some coworkers are cooking for the office. Hooray for Fridays.

Totally wicked, and awesome, Comic Book Reader that I'd buy if I had the cash. @BryanLAS gives us Radical Codex http://ping.fm/raR14

Loving TuxRadar. It's a powerhouse of helpful Linux user tips. http://ping.fm/XTEYX

Once again Canada gets the shaft. Still no Amazon MP3 store in Canada. Incredibad for $1.99? http://ping.fm/wXjnq

Unfortunately, no midnight showing of The Watchmen here. I know my boss would understand if I slogged into work tomorrow.

Kickin' it with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Heh. Hot Topic at work today is Facebook trying to emulate Twitter. Hello, Facebook? How do think I'm updating my status this very moment?

Nifty-do! Unreal Tournament 3 free-play weekend on Steam. Starting now.

Thinking that since the snow/ice is almost gone that it might be nice to rejoin the UBC-O Aikikai Society.

Writing a review of the "Pink Godzilla Dev Kit". 4 of 5 stars. Great game. The missing star? That star is taken seriously >_<

Anxiously awaiting "Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne", by BioWare's David Gaider, to finally arrive at my local Coles bookstore.

Chair-rawking to Gob - Foot in Mouth Disease. Music to wake up to. (At work).

Going to play a little "Earthbound" and head to sleep listening to "Coraline". I'm second in line now at the library for the book.

Dreading having to do my taxes. Taxes are like homework for adults and I never paid anyone to do my homework.

$32,000 in Canada could get you a Bachelor of Science. I read in Finland you can attend University for free.

My Wife has Oprah on the TV right now. How the crap can American's put up with a $160,000 price tag for a University degree?

I loved PuzzleQuest: Warlords. Really looking forward to PuzzleQuest: Galactrix.

My mistake. Turns out ReadAir does tell Google Reader what you've read... I just had another session open in a browser after ReadAir closed.

Whoops. An unfortunate FAIL to ReadAir is that it does't communicate to GoogleReader when an item has been read.

Whoa, ReadAir is nifty. It's a newsreader built on Adobe Air that feeds off GoogleReader.

@wilw tweet'd about playing Data in the new StarTrek, so that's pretty cool. @BrentSpiner confirms. Time for me to get some sleep. G'night.

This month's hi-res (and low-res) Linux Format magazine available free (torrent). http://ping.fm/bbHCb

The latest newstand issue of Linux Format magazine, available FREE for 24 hours, starting midnight tonight. http://ping.fm/bbHCb

Mucking about with file upload/database insertion. Zzz.

Happy Square Root Day!

Just registered two passes for PAX2009 (Penny Arcade Expo for Twitter tagging search purposes).

Seeing something like jClassicRPG makes me feel fuzzy inside. I still love Java. http://ping.fm/yUbWS

Planting another colony in Ikariam. I hope I'm doing this right. (Iota server).

Threw together a new welcome page http://n3wt0n.com/

Just picked up "Just for Fun" from the library. It's a bio of Linus Torvalds. Excellent read.

(:Want MC Lars newest album & Rolling Doubles & Final Boss & Childs Play Charity CD :)

Drinking a Yellowtail merlot and kicking butt at QuakeLive.

Learning the ropes of Pink Godzilla "Dev Kit". Planning on bringing it to PAX.

After his shave, "Zero" (our Chihuahua/Maltese) looks like "Falkor" from "The NeverEnding Story" films.

Watching the Linux Action Show. http://ping.fm/USVhd
