On the topic of the former community known as girl_gamers.
Yes, girl_gamers has been deleted. Yes, I was a mod. No, I didn't delete it. Yes, I supported the decision to nuke it. No, it wasn't because of something one self-important asshole said on the intarwebs. As observed, the mods were rarely present - except to filter through dozens of spam posts a day to approve the one or two "good" posts a day, but ( Read more... ) -
Update
I'm working for EVS in Memphis as a System Engineer (mainly Linux), thanks to dreamsofxion. The first driver we hired worked out for about two months, then quit after wrecking the truck for the second time. The second driver we hired never got to run, as Swift took so long coding him that they cancelled the carrier contract and then, the lease. So, I don't ( Read more... ) -

Joking, sorta, but here's an update ( Read more... ) -
Update, Ad, Finitum.
Jessa is starting Swift's CDL school this week, and I'm being assigned my own truck tomorrow. We're going total nomad for a few months, so we're clearing out the apartment, and putting everything into storage (like my collection of RAH books) that we'd like preserved. We're taking the desktop, but it's getting a facelift in a few weeks as a ( Read more... ) -
Sacrificial Pig
Oh dear.
3 pounds of pulled pork just came out of the crock pot. Doused and soaked in my own "sweet'n'mild" sauce. Unfortunately, those are the leftovers... not sure what I'm going to do with it all.
Terrible tragedy, it is.
Edit: I lied. There were 6 pounds of pulled pork left over. I just shoveled most of it into storage tubs, with a large bowl ( Read more... ) -
Small world...
I'm amused; while reading the comments on a /. story, I come across a comment posted by Electric Chameleon, who I haven't seen since the #c days.
Funny strange, not funny haha. -

[11:20] linuxwonderboy: I think they got sidetracked on the way up - there was a sign, it was big - it said XXX. It assaulted them. They were minding their own business, just driving, and out of nowhere...
[11:21] linuxwonderboy: XXX
[11:21] thunderzag1: lmao

The Jump
That's it. I'm finally, completely, fed up with Microsoft and the endless stream of bullshit coming out of Redmond - at least from the Operating Systems group. (I know there's at least one Microsoftie on my FL - this is not targeted at them.) I have been running Vista for the better part of 6 months now, and if it's not one thing, it's three ( Read more... ) -

Mr. Crusher, set course for the Boredom system, Warp factor 9.
Been watching a few episodes of ST:TNG lately (ok, so I downloaded all 7 seasons. We're about to wrap up season 3...), and started fiddling with my interface in WinXP. Now, I haven't tested it with all the games yet, but for the majority of them, it seems to be just fine.
