Finally getting over a cold

Been sick all weekend, the crappiest time to get sick. ;) But now that I'm getting better, hopefully I can step up my productivity. What was meant to be a good solid sunday to spend working ended up me being asleep the whole day. Last Thursday I packed Read More...

A New Year and a list of tasks

So I thought the holidays would give me plenty of time to work. It gave me plenty of time alright, but not to work. ;) I swamped myself a while back and I got a bit stressed out, so now I'm trying to ease back into working more, but not so much I get Read More...

Upcoming TWC Changes

A few people, around 30 or so, have noticed the small text link, "+ Favorites" on the TWC comic list and begun using it. In addition to the normal way of ordering the list by number of votes, soon there will be special days where the list will be ordered Read More...

Game situation - no time

So Jenn caught up and exceeded me on Zelda. I wonder if I'll ever finish it now? I've been working so much I haven't been playing DDO, which is sort of bugging me, because I really want to level up my character and do the "really" fun stuff at higher Read More...

Social Update

So my zune lasted about 10 hours before it died on me. I listened to two 45 minute long podcasts I'm subscribed to for the last hour or so of it, which I assume use more energy than just the normal mp3s. I say that because the battery bar seemed like Read More...

I join "the social"

I picked up a Microsoft Zune yesterday. I was growing really sick of the radio on the way home from the office, decided I finally needed a mp3 player. So I looked at an ipod but I neither want to pay 99 cents a song nor do I want to use torrents or illegal Read More...

MMOs: the evils of buying money online or not

I really hate spending 30 hours leveling up my character, only to group with someone and they tell me they paid for a leveling service and have only played 2 hours. I mean, how unfair is it that I had fun for 30 hours leveling my character and then rich Read More...

PoxNora rocks!

So I signed up for poxnora a few days ago, but didn't really mess with it because I like to play people I know. So I got Jason and Jenn to sign up. I played Jason last night. My hordes of the undead (free sample army) against Jason's powers of nature. Read More...

First Impressions of the Wii

So we got a Wii last Monday. Luckily it seems that not too many people were aware that RC Willies had Wii's and that they were closed on the Wii Launch day so would still have them the day after. :) What do I think? Well, I've really only played Zelda Read More...

Why I'm not interested in the PS3

I'm a techie, I love gizmos, and I hear a lot of misinformation about a lot of things, but none more so than the ps3. I have a lot of issues with Sony. BlueRay. Yes its technically better than HDDVD. Well, we have HDDVD, and its beautiful! Most comparisons Read More...

The Case for Comic Avatars

We introduced the comic avatars to act as a CAPTCHA device, blocking bots. But then we began using silent captcha, interacting with the browser and making sure the same IP doesn't vote too fast, so I got rid of the captcha test, and made it so the avatar Read More...

Gave up Iced Tea

So I normally drink about 2 quarts of unsweetened iced tea. I really love iced tea. Unfortunately more and more it becomes apparant that I'm either diabetic or on the verge, probably a result of drinking 2-3 liters of coca-cola every day of my life until Read More...

Damn the attraction of C#!!!!!!!!

Ugh, so I started writing some things in C#, then started a new website in C#, then switched back to vb.net because vb.net feels more natural to write .aspx pages in, when suddenly I felt that writing DIM to declare variables was ungainly. Agh. Unfortunately Read More...

The demise of Invasion

So I'm finally watching the copy of Invasion I bought a few weeks ago, and dang, I had forgotten how good this series was! I was trying to think about what caused the demise of this show. First off, its not humorous. You don't even get a few moments of Read More...

Apple Itunes Customer Service can be ok, sometimes you just have to pressure them a bit

So first of all, I like owning media (owning, as in legally purchasing it), specifically tv shows and music videos. I don't like watching television. I tried using a tivo, but it just hasn't worked out for me, as I prefer to watch things on my third monitor. Read More...
