by Steve Gibson, Aug 06, 2001 6:50am PDTWell, Austin was some pretty fun stuff... So uh.. we're moving there today! Was down there for apartment shopping (and hopefully a house in the future) and we ran in to an amazing deal we couldnt pass up. Was pretty torn between moving into a place in Plano or Austin but things just worked out. I think being a block away from the new Fry's down there had a big part of things. :) So QuakeCon is this week. Should be fun as always and the whole "new id games" thing plus DOOM showing should prove interesting. Biz stuff for the interested... Amazingly I managed to get Doubleclick (CNN, NASDAQ, etc) to pay attention to our little corner of the web. We'll be carrying advertising from them starting later this week. In addition I've come to a tentative licensing/contracting agreement with BestBuy for a relationship with those guys which has proven to be very pleasant so far. I've been busy. :) Movie: A gun rack... a gun rack. I don't even own *a* gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do... with a gun rack?

Any Man who brings a camera to a stag night may be legally killed or beaten by his fellow partygoers.
Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

b. The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse
c. After wrecking your boss' car.

Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.
If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her.
The minimum amount of time you have to wait for a guy who's running late is 5 minutes. Maximum waiting time: 6 minutes. For a girl, you have to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale.
Bitching about the brand of free beer in a Mate's fridge is forbidden. Gripe at will if the temperature is unsuitable.
No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man (in fact, even remembering your Mate's birthday is strictly optional).
When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.
It is permissible to quaff a fruity chick drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach....and it's delivered by a topless supermodel...and it's free.
Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.
Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.
If a man's zipper is down, that's his problem --- you didn't see nothin'.
Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much beer as the other sports watchers.
You must offer heartfelt and public condolences over the death of a girlfriend's cat, even if it was you who secretly set it on fire and threw it into a ceiling fan.
A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.
Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both. That's just plain mean.
If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.
Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.
Never allow a conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone; Hang up if necessary.
The morning after you and a babe who was formerly "just a friend" have had carnal drunken rampant sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason not to nail her again before the discussion about what a big mistake

And a second note - remind me to never start a sucessful technology company. The minute you become overwhelmingly rich and popular, you're suddenly labeled the bad guy (ie Microsoft and Intel). Microsoft could implement a feature in Windows that'd quadruple performance on ANY CPU, and the people at a place like Slashdot would find a way to bitch and moan about it.

So here's the thing...
1) my work just called and asked me to work tommorow, I said yes.
2) work starts at 6:45am, so i have to be up by 5:00-5:30.
3) I was going to go out with friends tonight...but that would mean getting little to know sleep, for the second day in a row, plus I'm already super tired.
4) It's one of the friends I'd be going out with's birthday, so I feel bad missing it.
5) ...but I need to take friday off, and my work doesn't want me to, so going tommorow might give me some justification.
Should I...
a) Go out and call in sick tommorow.
b) Get much needed sleep and go to work.
c) Go out, and go to work the next day, most likley resulting in feeling superubermega shitty.
d) Something else.
I know I'm retarded for asking for advice about this, but I'm really tired, my brain it working right.

Willy Wonka gets chopped
In one of the true head scratchers in recent years, we just received our final product for review of Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, and get this: it is pan & scan only. Though announced as including anamorphic widescreen and full screen versions, the widescreen version is nowhere to be found. (And, to add insult to injury, the trailer is in widescreen!) According to Warner, no separate widescreen release is planned at this time, and this move by the studio to eschew widescreen only underlines what could be an unfortunate new trend...pan & scan only on "family" titles.

Way to go Warner; thanks for fucking up what was going to be a cool DVD.
