Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city. -George Burns
I'm staying in College Town over Thanksgiving, and I'm curious who (if anyone) else will be doing likewise, so that we may have a wonderful college Thanksgiving dinner, or at least hang out.

For the most part, nothing of note has happened recently in my life. I go to school, play games, sleep. I rather enjoy my life in spite of the cyclic nature of it, which doesn't bother me that much anyway.
Minor general news: Made a trip to Berkeley to visit some old friends last weekend. Wonderful Magic, Civ 4 and Cal Football. Also went to Davis ( Read more... ) -
"Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes." -Aaron McGrude
Due to a 9am class, I woke up around 8 this morning, and was reasonably aware, coherent, and in a good mood. It was just the first day, so I still thoroughly enjoyed my class, and answered the most important question. Then I biked home. So far a good day. Then something happened, something that would bother me on a normal day, but not overly so. I ( Read more... ) -
I Knew It. I'm Surrounded By Assholes! -Dark Helmet
What follows is turned into a rant about a pet-pieve of mine, after a lot of set up. Since its a rant, if you choose not to read it I will not be bothered.
Unless you'd all like to hear about Magic, programming, rats, and poor sleep schedules, I have little else to post about.

"Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic." -Dan Rather
Recent trends tell me its time to explain my policy on giving people rides. I believe you all more or less assume these, but I'm going to spell things out anyway.
I will not give you a ride if:
- I'm not driving
- There is no space in my car
- The distance is unreasonable
- I have a pressing engagement

This will be one of the ( now ) few posts about Shuffler which my non-magic playing friends will see. You can skip it after this paragraph if you like, and I won't be upset; I'm just quite happy with the current state of the world, mostly due to Shuffler, and wanted everyone to know. Rest assured that nearly all of my future Shuffler ramblings will ( Read more... ) -
When buying shares, ask yourself, would you buy the whole company? -Rene Rivkin
I should finally have internet at my new place on Thursday, after much complication and one part of a company not knowing what the other is doing. This is where I would normally say something about Shuffler and when it will be online. I've decided that since most of you don't care, I'll do all of my ramblings about Shuffler in an LJ community. I ( Read more... ) -

I don't think anyone much cares.... but Bob, the Shuffler server, is being packed into the vehicle now, so Shuffler will be down for at least a couple days. This should be the only major down time till I move again, around a year from now. -
"To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk." -Thomas A. Edison
Shuffler has a dedicated server. I conscripted an old and not so fast, but otherwise perfectly working, Dell to host all our Magic searching and deck building needs. The new server is named Bob ( I blame Tim ), and will be kept online 24/7 ( except for a brief hiatus to relocate it up north and sign up for internet at the new place ( Read more... ) -
