Today was a great day. I got up, drove to my father's, got a haircut, had lunch with _dragonwolf_, hung out with the same, got rained on, got changed, went to see a play, and then had a great dinner in Walpole before heading home.

Yay!

Sitting in the US Airways club in PHL. The last two days have gone fairly well, but I'll be grateful to be home. My current predicted schedule has me in the field for the entire month of August, with limited flybacks. I'll try to make it home for PiCon, but I'm glad I decided not to try to go to GenCon -- I'd be faced with either canceling an ( Read more... )

Wonderful weekend. Had a great and mighty LAN Party at my apartment, and many came and many had fun. There were considerably less technical problems than we've had in years past, although space became an issue at a few points. I had a bit of a problem when I sprained a toe this morning, but otherwise, everything went smashingly ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a very good day. In the afternoon witticaster came by and together we made a delicious cake and a pair of quiches. Well, she did. I occassionally provided brute force, and menial labor. The results were excellent, outstanding, and a credit to the Corps ( Read more... )

As I was walking to drop off my mail today, I passed a flower delivery guy who was dropping off a dozen roses at the Gardencrest office. That has to be a fantastic job. Spend all day going around making people happy.

This weekend was the inaugural run of Labor Wars, the new weekender by emp42ress, natbudin, simplewordsmith, and _dragonwolf_. The game was relatively small for a weekender, counting perhaps 15 characters active at any given time ( Read more... )

So one thing that I fairly frequently do on flights or in airports without Internet connectivity or at other times I am otherwise in enforced idleness, is I write video games. I don't write full, playable games, but I tend to patch together a very simple interface, and write the mechanics of the game, test them, get them working, compile the whole ( Read more... )

Moving was a fiasco, but it gone done. Special thanks to taranhero, Rory, Jeremiah, mariaklob, and ultimatepsi for significant day-of moving help. I couldn't have done it without you. Also thanks to acousticshadow2 and _dragonwolf_ for pre- and post-move assistance. There are still a number of things that need to happen, but I can't be bothered with them right now. I'm in Germany ( Read more... )

OK, I've shifted time around a bit, and X-Day for my move in now Saturday. I'd appreciate any help I can get. I still have an issue with furniture delivery while I'm gone, but everything I have is going this weekend.
