Vaguely catching up on old LJ things. I looked at some old text files I made of earlier rambles. See if you can make any sense of this one from a year ago or so ( Read more... )

Two big posts for one of these days have been 95% complete for more than a week, but rather than finish them up, a slice of life and an argument against someone who isn't listening. So, it's group dinner night at the apartment. Nobody was up for cooking today (I'm in no position to talk here, as I never cook at these things), so we ended up ( Read more... )

Liquor-monger "Boots" Legger gunned down at S. Peak Easy's

Wouldn't want it to spoil, now. Time for SF's movie corner. I will say first off that scattercat & daikaisho's wedding was most excellent. There should be excuses to get together like that more often. I shall also post a write-up of a certain one-shot that I ran that I at least think went fairly well, despite the fact that it (as usual) went a little later than ( Read more... )

I have returned. I had a wonderful time at Oberlin, the last time I'll basically be seeing people I know not as alumni (and it's a little different with alumni). But whatever. 'twas great stuff, and I had the pleasure of interacting with at least 4-5 different factions of Obies and enjoying it greatly. I'll save my morbidity for later; time to ( Read more... )

I'm getting idea overload again. I have too much stuff to stick in LJ, I keep swearing to make my post, but then my ideal post gets longer and stays unfinished, and as a result nothing gets posted. Hmph ( Read more... )

Two thoughts today, one happy, one sad ( Read more... )

So I went to another one of those IEEE dinners with my dad. They're closest replacement to all the cool lecturers who were easily available for free in Oberlin. Sad thing was, this one wasn't nearly as good as the space-based previous ones. It was on Intrusion Detection & Countermeasures. I thought this would have to do with stuff like hacking ( Read more... )

Haven't posted in awhile, despite having plenty to talk about. This I vow: to keep whines like the last one in check- and rest assured, I got more comin' should I feel like typing 'em up- I shall do at least one post on a standard irreverent topic, or a good-natured rant on something non job-related, for every whine ( Read more... )
