Over half a year since my last post here. No, I haven't gone private, just had better things to be doing ^^ The only reason I'm updating now is because I recently got an old beige G3 from someone and decided to see whether it would do as a file server. No, I never got around to finishing that either. Like I said, better things ( Read more... )

So... I've a flight booked for Denmark (or, more precisely, Copenhagen, via Amsterdam) at an ungodly hour on new year's morning. As with most ventures, this will likely end one of two ways - really well, or horribly, horribly badly. Against all prior experience, I am cautiously optimistic. Yes, next year will be interesting, but I am hoping it will ( Read more... )

Hmm, almost 2 months since my last entry. Guess I've either been too busy with real life to find time to post, or have had nothing worthwhile to write about. Possibly both. Or maybe the recent wow expansion coupled with a dash of guild frolicking (double entendre intended) has something to do with it. Regardless, after a certain someone enticed my ( Read more... )

Even though (or perhaps because) I have been playing more go lately, I've been losing more often that not. Blitzing through a few dozen moves at lunch break probably isn't helping. Once the current batch of mini-tournaments wrap up, going to have to concentrate more on quality rather than quantity.

In other news, DiscountAnimeDVD has (been) closed ( Read more... )

Day off today for what should be my last checkup on medication. Been a long, annoying year.

At last a chance to sit down and type up some random thoughts and findings.

Tipping away at Go. Have about a hundred turn-based games running and managed to log into KGS earlier for a few games. Going to bribe shunming with some anime later in return for a few games. creatorofsplab is either dead or has lost the ability to text from his mobile as I've not gotten a ( Read more... )

The 96 astra finally broke down last week. (Tensioner pulley for the timing belt sheared a bolt off in case anyone is interested. No, didn't think so.) This would not have been so troublesome had I not been about 100 miles from home at the time. A fun-filled (not really) five and a half hours later, I made it back. Given the cost associated with ( Read more... )

I spent the last week of july offline; used the time to catch up on anime mostly. Haven't touched WoW in about a fortnight. I think my last months-long break might have been prompted by a similar event.

My desire to play go has been growing. I've maxed out my games on OGS and am waiting for my sub renewal to go through so I can start a few more. A ( Read more... )

Emergence of bigger and better idiots proves evolution?

People denser than bedrock make sig sad :'(

On a totally unrelated note, creatorofsplab and quessir have apparently survived their move unscathed. I'll be dropping in to see how they're settling in later this evening.

Kealan and his better half are heading out of the country this friday. Due to the joint- ( Read more... )

Seems I've been neglecting this place again. Imagine there are an amount of interesting entries on my friends list to catch up on, but not going to do anything about that right now. Just an entry to remind me that I need to check my focus every now and then...
