Back in July, Captain Robert of Abney Park announced the pre-order of the upcoming Steampunk RPG, Airship Pirates. The first 300 ordered from Abney Park's store would be signed and numbered, and I thought this was shiny. Having poor impulse control (seriously, I should have that tattooed on my forehead) I couldn't resist ordering... and justified ( Read more... )

Well fuck. I posted a review to Timbuk2's website earlier, and made the mistake of telling it that it could automagically cross post to my LJ, just so I'd have a copy of the review for myself. Well, somehow when they did it, they put it in the looking for group community instead of my main journal like it should have. The worst thing about it, is ( Read more... )

I am sitting at the dealership, and they're poking away at my car right now. The problem they thought that was leading to my cooling fan not coming on turned out to be not the issue, but luckily they had the part needed to replace what really was the issue. The good news is that they have wifi, so I've been able to entertain myself while waiting ( Read more... )

Last Thursday marked 26 years on this planet for me. I spent the day hiding from the world at my boyfriend's house. Birthdays seem to make me more anti-social than I normally am, so I've taken to disappearing on the day of my birthday if I can. drwho4 had to work, so I was left alone to hide until he got home around five, then we went out for dinner and ( Read more... )

Hooray, I have Deepest Sender back. Apparently while the developer has posted it to the extension's homepage of MozDev, it hasn't been added to the "official" Firefox Extension site, so it didn't automagically update itself when I started using Firefox 3.5. Luckily I haven't had anything that really required posting while I was waiting for this to ( Read more... )

So, that was fucking brilliant. For a while now (like three years, almost) I've had a whole mess of cat5 cable that I'd been intending to turn into jewelry, even went out and bought crimp beads, clasps and jump rings so I could get on it when I had the time and inclination. Tonight I decided it shouldn't be hard to throw something together in a ( Read more... )

So, I found my dragon ring. I guess it'd been in a pants pocket, as I found it in the bottom of the washing machine when I was transferring clothes from the washer to the dryer. Horray for finding my missing ring. The ring I bought to replace it, it's still missing in action, but since I liked the dragon ring more, I'm glad that's the one I found.

So, those of you who expressed concern when I posted my bitchy entry via text message about the lack of live Linux CDs (all one of you) can rest assured that the problem has been fixed. I determined it was an error occurs between keyboard and chair issue. Once I finally started thinking, and taking my time in getting things done, problems ( Read more... )

Talk about stupid... I'd unplugged my USB hub so it wouldn't distract drwho4's son when he was trying to sleep, including the USB cable from it to my computer... and then managed to forget to plug it back in even though I got the power plugged in again, as well as all the other cables. It only took me a week to realize that was what the problem is.

This ( Read more... )

So the dorkiest awesome thing has had me bouncy for the last couple days. Diziara, my Klingon-Trill red-headed lunatic Star Trek RPG character, the one who I tell people represents my ID, finally got promoted to a full Lieutenant. I created this character back in high school for an RPG a friend of mine was creating, and I made her as a Lieutenant ( Read more... )
