way for all of us to chat online
Well, I think this will work and is fairly harmless. It's a program called Skype:
www.skype.com/
It's a chat program where you can confrence call with up to four of your friends, which I believe would be all of us crew. It's cross-platform (osx, win, linux) and it's free. Now, they have a service where you can call actual landlines and cellys, but that cost some cheddar. Just the straight vox-chatting through the program is free. Er, let's try it maybe? Comeone, I hate typing. Well, not really, but if our DM was doing the character voices n shit, that'd be some good laughs. :)

Erm.. I gotz pwnzedorrezed!!!11!1!
Pretty sure it's actually www.teamspeak.org and not .com OR NOT.
www.goteamspeak.com it is.

LOL!
That was funny, even if a bit harsh. I read it in the voice of Dennis Leary for added punch.
Hehe.. HEY.. about tomorrow night's gaming. I think we aught to plan ahead so we can hook up this week. Is the teamspeak server going to be up and running? If not, I think we really need to figure this out ahead of time. I was thinking of maybe trying out the Eye Of The Beholder player module as a group? Not a lot of roleplaying, I don't think.. but plenty of puzzles, hacking and slashing to take on.
Does that sound interesting to anyone else?
BTW.. I finally finished Honor Amongst Theives. I estimate that there are at least three to four alternate endings.. wow.. very very cool! In my ending, I managed to get the entire city destroyed and every inhabitant killed. LOL.. whoopsie. Can't wait to go back and try it again in a different style/flavor.

Gurps Server
Ugggg... Hours of sitting on my arse waiting for our server to stop choking on its own vomit. YeeHaa. Anyway after tonight I go back to day work on the road for a week. I dont know which one is worse. Getting home beat from a day on the road or getting home beat at 3 or 4 am.
Jon: Daly City Train. Maybe we can hang tomarrow if you are about. Ill call you since I will not be up until afternoon.
Futbol: Sucks to be in your world right now. I give you serious props for the ultimate in academic endurance. You'll have to bring your final product back to the states and share so we can all peruse your pain.
Elrox-off: My impressions with Cable modems have overall been pretty good. Never had complaints about the one in El Segundo. They seem to have rockin' transfer rates. Latency can be a tad higher. Maybe (tiny population sample).
Back to work... Sittin on my arse.
D>M>
PS Jon: I know you sang 'Daly City Train' out loud a few minutes ago.
PPS: JA-eL: When are you leaving overseas?

Update: Draft Finished: Supervisor thinks finishing by Christmas is likely, but noticing how long it takes to print out a copy, better make that next February! Well, as I'm waiting for the colour laser to stop having a virtual cigarette, I thought I'd email you guys and let you know that I'm alive... or at least what you call living on 5 hours of sleep a night.
Hope to see you at Christmas, even though I realize most of you have moved away! :(
Will keep you posted, because even if you're not interested - I am.

Only Crime
Eric and Ry, you heard of this band yet? It's a new band with people from old bands (Bill from All, some dudes from good riddance, bane and some other bands that sound familiar), and they're working on their cd now for fat wreck chords. They got two songs on the site, one i really like, the other one, s'ok.
Saw good the bad and the ugly on the big screen tonight - it was awesome. That movie is SO different seeing it in all its 70mm glory - I haven't seen it since i was pretty young, and it's really funny and violent. Good shit. They're showing 2001 soon there too, so I'll definately check that out.

Fun-zor Z!!!
Well, I'm in my new place with some rudimentary furniture (still have to knock together the Ikea shelves and so on)... got my iMac version 2 (added feature: "monitor works"), NWN purrs like a kitten, GameCube is here for when NWN won't give it up... good stuff. Now I just need an actual income source.
But while I'm job-searching, this is a pleasant diversion. A port of a classic Commodore 64 game, very much in the Nethack vein....
Rudy, a Firefly campaign would be great. Watch that show you guys! It's only 11 episodes and is great! And we can all see the movie together next year while holding hands!

LOL! Too funny.. check it:
Congratulations, Art!Your IQ score is 73
This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others. Your Intellectual Type is Inventive Inquisitor. You have the unusual distinction of being equally good (and by equally good, we mean you are about as dumb as a box of rocks.. and too dim to realize that equally good also means equally bad, which is great.. because we're going to try and sell you a full report on just how stupid you really are in a minute here!) at math and verbal skills. This means you are a creative thinker (pants first, THEN shoes!) and are uniquely good at teaching others through experiences (Stupid is as stupid does, after all). You are also a great improviser (meaning: able to use your bare hand in the absence of toiletpaper) and very good at handling change (as in switching from Elmers to just regular glue-paste.)

Eating healthy..
You know, I never realized just how easy (and tasty) it is to eat healthy until I met my wife who has some digestive issues that more or less mandate that she eats a low fat diet. I guess it helps that I enjoy cooking as a creative process, but it's really very, very easy to eat well and eat good at the same time. Most anything I make takes very little preparation or complex cooking technique. Fast, easy, cheap and good. Yeehaw! If any of you are aspiring psuedo-chefs like myself, or interested in swapping ideas.. let's do it!
And now for something completely different:
You guys ever do the stupid Tickle tests? I just did for the hell of it and thought they were interesting. Here's what I got... although, it occurs to me that they're not likely to tell you that you're dumber than a box of rocks and a real a-hole when they're trying to get you to shell out an extra $10 for the full report. Hehe.. it might be fun to try and retake those tests with some decidedly BAD answers. =]

IQ Test:
Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.
Personality Test:
Art, you're a Chosen One!
Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Chosen One which means you are a Golden / Seeker Your primary sub-type is defined by "Golden" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Seeker" characteristics.
That means you're warm, giving, knowing, and patient. Chances are you're not afraid to actively pursue your goals and dreams. As if all that weren't enough, you pretty much set the standard for emotional health by being filled with positive feelings and energy.
How do we know all this? How do we know that you'd be a great person in an emergency? Or that you always return phone calls? How could we have divined that you're no fair-weather friend?
Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Chosen One.
And that's just scratching the surface.
(LOL... I-I-I-I... I WANT THE KNIFE! PLEEEEEEZE?)
Career Test:
Art, the Right Job for you will allow you to be:
Analytical and Creative
As an Analytical type, you don't want to be limited by established rules and regulations. Your inquisitive nature demands that you sometimes question authority. Otherwise, you might not be able to find fresh approaches, or come up with new solutions to a problem. It's not that you act without weighing the pros and cons of a situation — it's more that you're more willing than others to take justifiable risks if they'll further your career success.
You're smart enough to know when you need help and are confident enough in your abilities to ask for it. You understand that sometimes there are no clear right and wrong answers, and that's just fine with you because you tolerate gray areas better than most. In fact, pondering potential outcomes can sometimes be more interesting than coming up with the definitive solution for you.

No, I can't say that I have been affected positively or negatively by GTA:SA, especially not last night after the food debauchery. I did have megazord regret this morning after waking up and realizing that I have become a turd. Something has got to give. I need to be healthy really fucking soon.
No internet yet. Still waiting for Vorizon not to suck. I'll be waiting a long time, methinks.

Amendment to Article II:
As good as GTA:SA is, do not under any circumstance, play it for a lot of hours in a row, eat a Philly Cheese Steak and fries, followed by Ben and Jerry's, and then play some more, and then go to sleep. Your dreams will be haunted by the spectre of GTA, it will feel like you are in game a little too much. Or was that just me? Ryan, thoughts?
