Funny, the internet terminal here at the hotel won't let me access my Raiders website because someone wrote [edit: LOL.. got banned from viewing this site for use of: "spa_nking" as well, good thing I could come back and edit it at least. Sheesh] in one of their posts, aparently.. but THIS god forsaken wasteland of a website isn't blocked in the slightest. LOL.
Hanging out with Enron, his wife, and Dr. Cockburn was a great time last night, even if Aaron was totally lost for a while there. ;)
Good times.
About ready to get on da train back up north to do some tourista shiz with the Biggidy Enron and Co.
Whee!
Late,
~O.

News and Notes
Mykenloft: I think you need some php or cgi script, of which I have little to no knowledge about how to do. Me thinks a small SQL database, with user (professor) information would be a breeze to throw together, if you know how, and then a site that uses php snippets to update the hours based on the info that is in the database. Then a small form with a username/password field and times fields would be all the profs need to fill out and submit. I know we have the technology, I have no idea how to use it.
Also Mykenloft, and any other people into the greatest computer game ever: Close Combat returns!
Ryan: The Gallagher brother are probably punching each other. Twits. Hilarious! Interesting tune though. Not a fan of any of the songs, except for the Aerosmith one, strangely, but am always interested in some musical mix-mashing.
jr0n: You will never find the D&D mini's because IIRC, you left them with me! I think they are intermingled with my old mini's, but I think I put white dots on mine, until I bought a few more packs with Denis and mixed em all up. And then put them in storage somewhere. I can try to dig them out if you want, but no promises!
Others: Rudy and I have been playing some ASL! Hooray! I think Rudy likes it, and said himself it is not that hard of a game. Sure, we are playing the first scenario in the starter kit, but still, good fundamentals makes the rest a 'breeze' to learn!
- Also, TICHU! Tichu is a rad partnership card game that plays a little like Gang of Four, but then takes a turn into the radicool. Fun! So far, after beating the duo of Leslie and Heather the first game ever, I and my partners of Ryan and Rudy have been trounced the following two games quite soundly. I look forward to playing under the influence at GenCon!
- I am SERIOUSLY thinking about an ASL podcast documenting the journey to becoming a full ASL player. Scenario breakdowns, tactics learned, what rules I had to look up, news, etc. Seriously!
- Oh shit! I have an AMD! And I totally own like 20 copies of 2600, so you KNOW I am teh l33t h4x0rz.
- GenCon cometh!
- ASL!

4 relatively boring songs. However, the guy who put these together did this for all of the songs on the last Green Day record. Clever. I have heard Green Day like it, but the record company does not. The Gallager brothers are probably punching each other. Twits.
Ok web gurus - I've a question for you. ( I used to think *I* was a web guru, but clearly this is not the case.) I am running the website for the department. One of the features of this is that it features faculty Office hours. Now, clearly I don't want to be responsible for updating everyone's office hours for them every term or whenever they change or whatever, but at the moment I'm the only one with access to the site, and probably the only one who even knows was HTML is.
Suggestions on an way to put the thing together so that they can update it easily without a headache for me?
Thanks.
And I say 'YAY' to the idea of D&D again - though I'll admit that I haven't really had enough Warmachine yet.

Dammit Ja-el! We could be rich right now. LOL! I only vaguely remember that -- did I actually write that copy? It seems like so long ago....
After a very brief game of WarMachine in which Enron punched me into the applesauce, we broke out D&D Minis. I picked up a starter and booster of this game recently partly to get a little D&D feel and partly I guess to get rid of all the fiery money burning a hole in my pocket. Anyway I had a good brainless time with it.
The neat thing is that Wizards JUST posted all the stat cards from the first set on their website, and several of the Chainmail minis have equivalences in D&D Minis. (About half of the minis I own have direct equivalences, including my sweet sweet Ogres and Owlbear. No Dire Badger though. Boo.)
Mostly it was weirdly fun to talk about numbers like "armor class" and "hit points" again. I am definitely getting into the mindset to do some role playin'. Myke and Enron, I know that you sometimes say that playing RPGs with only three people is slightly "off" but I say we work with what we got and have a game in a couple weeks. I mean we have Myke's swinging bachelor pad to use.
Oh, and as far as GenCon goes, I will be flying in to John Wayne airport Friday night around 8:30. I expect to be in 3xtr3m3 gaming mode. Role-playing will be served. Enron what are your plans for Sunday? Would you or Dave Defeat be interested in staying at the con a bit later than usual on Sunday, or perhaps throwing down in the M.B.?
Rude... you GOTTA make a "greatest hits" of your TV-show escapades and put that shit up on Youse Tube!

Heh, I'm amazed at myself.
Hey jorn, remember that article I asked you to write for me when I started the Internet company, www.golfbagshipping.com? Apparently now there's 4 or 5 copy-cat sites now offering the same service I do. I'll take it as flattery. do a search on luggage shipping service. heh. funny. I guess I was a Pioneer.
P.S They'll learn.

BWHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAASKDL:JASD*()#$)#!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!
*ahem*
I mean, check out this awesome investigative report:
LINKY
"3. Has your child asked for new hardware?
Computer hackers are often limited by conventional computer hardware. They may request "faster" video cards, and larger hard drives, or even more memory. If your son starts requesting these devices, it is possible that he has a legitimate need. You can best ensure that you are buying legal, trustworthy hardware by only buying replacement parts from your computer's manufacturer.
If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well. "

Ya, so Veronica Mars is like one of the best shows ever. Only 3 epidodes into the 3rd season and already there's been a reference to the use of "frack" in BSG and a guitar hero reference. Best fuckin show ever.
Tonight's the first chance to catch me on the telly! I'll be on tonights "Shark" at 10pm on CBS. There's going to be a scene at a football practice, and you'll see me wearing a black shirt and black shorts in the background, while all the other dudes are wearing red. If you see the preview for tonights episode (on the CBS site or on tv) you can see me for like 1 sec maybe - the screen says "America's Football Hero" and shows the practice and we waddling around in the middle of the screen. Fuck ya. I might also be on tonights ER but since that's on at the same time, I'd say watch the Shark on instead - I'll d/l the ER tomorrow and see if it was the one I'm on.
Yesterday I spent almost 13 hours working on NCIS as a conventioneer at a "Forensic Science Expo" and that's gonna be on in about a month. I should totally be visible because I was used to block out a midget that the main chick of the scene was coming to see. After she passes me and turns around, I walk away thus revealing the midget. Long day but pretty cool. Tonight is an epic night-shoot for the show Ghost Whisperer on the backlot of Universal Studios. Should be rockin. I'll be an "on-looker" at a burning building. Wish me luck!

Nice to see another addict of the World's Best Game.
Buy a PS2. Seriously. Even at the new price ($129, plus memory card) it's the best deal on the market right now. You can get Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II in like one month, and then five years of some of the best games ever made, for like $10-$20 apiece.
Hours and hours of entertainment for ridiculously cheap prices.

Wow, never thought to check out YouTube for a video of people playing GH.. here is the mother of all tracks. Just watching this dude/dudette shred this up is enough to make me think it would take more practice time than I have to spend to get anywhere near clearing the song, let alone getting FOUR STARS.. LOL..
BARK AT TEH MOON
Crazy.

eric lent me his guitar hero tonight, and if we ever get ahold of another guitar, we're so doing the duel! these guys are way rad :)

yeah, i was sounding pretty gimp on medium lvl haha, but eric was rockin out on expert for me so i could smell the glory!
so eric, remember i dont have a regular job till the 30th, so let's hang out to do the podcast/gamin etc!
Re: vidcast for action team, it'd be sweet to film some of it in front of that wall of games-to-be-gone that u have in yer garage eric. That'd be sweet. Then segments from the rest of the dudes in other parts of the country they can be like correspondents and we cut away to them like a news cast. omg, lets start tonight! :P
Oh another cool segment could be dennis painting a minature but totally sped up so you see the whole process but like in 30 seconds. And it could have like the "flight of the bumblebees" song in the background. Haha - sweetness

Mommy, mommy.. I don't WANT to see grandma!
Shut up and keep diggin'..
-------------
But, seriously. Why does it take 12-24 hours for posts to show up in the blogger, anyway?
As for Guitar Hero, I agree! Mad fun! I am aparently incapable of beating expert level.. although in my defense, I haven't had any time to really play through the songs and learn them. But, I was having a hard enough time with some of the runs, pulls and hammers on Hard that I think Expert would be real hard.
