slightly more than a year!
I don't know what it is about LiveJournal, but I always write like a complete asshole anytime I post on it. It's the weirdest thing that I'm even posting now, but on the other hand, maybe this is what I'll look back on in fifty years. I sure as fuck won't remember enough of my life for it to matter. There's always this dreadful melancholy, in ( Read more... ) -

364 days ago, I posted here. Now it's today and I'm posting again. Right now I'm working on the third chapter of my novel, The Vampire's Daughter. I was sort of hoping I'd be able to get hold of my writing buddy dramashark because she'd like it I think but so far no dice.
My kid is doing well. I'm doing okay and so is my wife, though we'd rather be in a ( Read more... ) -

it has been a while. (maybe 40% of all lj posts begin this way.)
things are pretty different now. i have a kid, for one thing, a great little boy who we named adrian. it's not a family name or anything, I just like it.
it's pretty strange finding myself at this point. have a house too, of my very own. this is basically a situation that i can quite ( Read more... ) -

It's been a while. facebook kind of ate me; at the very least, ate the parts of me responsible for wanting to write about my life instead of working or sleeping or entertaining myself.
my life suddenly strikes me as a very strange word. so very fucking intangible, but something that virtually all of us understand - like god or retail markup. ( Read more... ) -

When I was younger, fatter, and a Boy Scout, I had a friend. That's actually a little more accurate than you might expect - I had a friend. I was unpopular, unathletic, and owned a Nintendo 64 as all the redneck kids in the troop were getting PS2s.
My friend was Kevin, a kid of maybe a year less than me (despite acting several years older) and he ( Read more... ) -

A couple brief notes before I descend toward Hannaford once more:
- My webserver keeps corrupting databases. I'm kind of losing my mind, because some 90% of my game materials are in these databases. I have backups, obviously, but the backup of a corrupted database is only so useful and the older, uncorrupted DBs are obviously going to be lacking ( Read more... ) -
open fucking source me
I've finally found a use for the Worst Laptop Ever, which - if you're disinclined to click that link - is a classic Pentium clocked at 133 megahertz (as in, the things gigahertz are made of) and with thirty-eight megabytes of RAM. For what it's worth, the keyboard on that machine may have been built by God itself to bring orgasm to my fingertips: ( Read more... ) -
GNU/hurrd
I realized a couple minutes ago that I object to the GNU/Hurd project on the grounds that it seems primarily to exist out of spite, despite the fact that the Linux kernel has accomplished basically all of its goals except that it, I don't know, isn't a microkernel. Some people don't like that, I guess.
It's this kind of idiocy that keeps people ( Read more... ) -

Sometimes I wonder what the fuck I was thinking about, building my own game
This is driving me insane.
Ironically, what's giving me the most trouble is the classes and spells - which I'd need to come up with for D20, anyway. erg.
I'm having pretty severe attention span issues, as well; I think I've touched on the subject here, but to sum up I tend to ( Read more... ) -

I've been on the verge of panic for a couple days now, and not for any good reason. I mean, I've had shit to be unhappy about: bills, Trusted Computing, a few more arguments than I'd like - and work isn't exactly unstressful.
Regardless, though, I'm pretty sure that this is chemical; three days ago, I suddenly felt incredibly, disastrously unhappy ( Read more... )
