Spamming LJ = an excellent avoidance device...
So apparently I'm going to be working on the SMUSH website again (don't look at that link, it's hideous and awful). Except this time I won't have to do it by myself because we've got a whole team of people, and the guy who really wants to be in charge of it is much more awesome than I with the coding stuff. Yay!
Does anyone know if SMU is blocking torrent downloads? Because I can get to the pages where you can see what file it is, but I can't download the .torrent files from any of the sites I've tried, which makes me suspicious. Would it be possible for a large and presumably well-funded network to disallow file downloads based on their extensions or originating sites? Obviously, I haven't been able to get farther than that in the process, so I don't know yet if they're blocking the torrent software like they blocked LimeWire et al. Rawr.
McKay = Code Monkey. So, so much crack. :D It's sort of Rodney/Zelenka, which... I'm not a fan of, and it doesn't make sense in the context of the song (wouldn't he be a fellow monkey?), but the pairing's easy enough to ignore if that's not your thing. I also happen to have an MP3 of the song, if anyone wants me to SendSpace it.
I hope my freaking DVDs get here soon. I was supposed to get the second disc of VMars today, but the SMU Post Office is notoriously lazy, so who knows. The second disc of Lost is supposed to arrive tomorrow*, so I might get that one, oh, next week. *rolls eyes*
*Yes, I finally caved and went up to the "two at a time" plan. If I'm properly strategic, it'll be worth the few extra dollars to theoretically avoid that lag time between discs, especially since the people at Netflix don't work weekends.
I need to fight the Odyssey some more and probably take a shower before my meeting tomorrow. And also try to get the feeling back into my fingers and feet, which have gone numb with cold in the couple of hours I've been in here since house meeting. It's August in Texas, and I'm wearing a jacket. Indoors. My bed has a down comforter and three blankets on, and I'm seriously considering sleeping in a sweatshirt and maybe socks in addition to my normal sleepwear. Something... is not right there. >.< Anyway... night!
