Still Here, as usual

So, back at DFAS, again... "sigh"

Today I discovered the wonder that is programming with threads. A friend in my class is also taking a gaming class that I would have taken if I knew about it during sign up, but we won't talk about that. He was working on his program (game) today when I arrived a few hours early for class (had nothing else to do, and the Alli was sick at home resting (I can be a little loud apparently)). He was having a problem and we worked together for about two hours on the problem with no success. We discovered that it was a runtime limitation on the program, and we have yet to figure out a way around that, so it sucked. But we shall prevail...

Then I came here to work. I think I have finally finished doing the sculpting of my miniature that I plan to enter into Atlanta Games Day this weekend. My goal is to walk away with an honorable mention in what they call the Golden Demon Competition (Painting contest). If I do better, sweet, and if I don't get at least this, I won't be too disappointed. I'd say about another 5 to 6 hours painting time, and it should be good enough to win something. However, if anyone out there knows anything about Games Workshop Miniatures, and the crazy people out there who paint for the Golden Demon, you know there is some tough competition. We'll see on Saturday what happens. If anyone wants to see the final model when its done, I can post an image if you would like.

Stargate RPG
I think that I have finally put up everything that anyone could possibly want to start playing the RPG. All you honestly need are the files that create your character, but all the extra stuff is good if you want to know more about the game and how everything works. I only have a resource document to finish up, and I won't type anymore, period. If anyone is interested in the RPG, check out our community Stargate Command. Everything you need is there, and the downloads get updated regularly since yousendit.com only stores the files for 7 days or 25 downloads. I have enough people for 1 team of 6 people, or two teams of 3 people, but I welcome anyone else interested in the idea of playing.

Doctor Who
New Doctor Who comes out soon. Only one problem. THEY WON'T AIR IT HERE IN THE STATES ("sniffle")! Alli has already said she will get torrents as she finds them, but I am putting out the call to anyone out there. If you tape the episodes and then rip them onto the computer, please send them to Alli someway somehow, and I will be eternally grateful. Doctor Who is my life (to quote Jack, with a little change).

Birthday Time
Wednesday is my birthday, YAY me. For the record, I'm only posting this since Alli will undoubtedly post about it, if she hasn't mentioned it already. Here is my policy on this one day of the year. Ignore It. I have not really been one for my birthday since I was about 14 or so. I usually take care of whatever has to be done, then I just lay about and do nothing to enjoy a nice quiet day. I don't mind people saying Happy Birthday, but thats about all I ask. Please, Please, PLEASE, don't make a big deal about it. Again, I'm only mentioning it in the event of Alli saying something and making a big deal about it.

Well, I think thats about all my ranting for now. I have a music meme I'm supposed to do, but that will have to wait until I go home and can see just how much music I have on the computer. It's fairly scary, but I do know people who have more music than I do on their computers, so I'm not that worried yet. Anyway, one last pitch for Stargate, please go to Stargate Command, and check it out. This is me, wishing I could go to sleep.
