This weekend I got to take a small break from all my programming crap and go back to Houston for a wedding(daughter of friends of my parents.) I'm always up for weddings, since the food is always top-notch (and FREE!) and no one cares if I do white-boy dancing on the dance floor ( Read more... )

Probably will only last for one week, but hell, I'll enjoy it while it lasts...

When the game comes to fruition I will be ( Read more... )

Good! This time my job actually materialized. Today I spent the first part of the day filling out various employment paperwork like the W-4 and all that stuff, and then headed into the testing room where I spent the rest of the day playing Stubbs the Zombie. Of course I'm not allowed to say much about it, but I can tell you that from the version ( Read more... )

Yeah, so now I'm back in Austin again for the third time this summer. In five minutes I leave for the first day of my job - hopefully this time I'll actually have one when I get there. See, because of a pushed-back deadline on the game and a miscommunication between upper and middle management at this place, I didn't have any work when I got ( Read more... )
