Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 16, 2002 6:01pm PDTAfter looking at the Episode2 thread today and poll results I think i'm off to see the movie tonight. Got a few too many things to do this evening but thankfully my local theatre is showing on 4 screens and has it running as late as midnight. Texas theatres in general are really quite nice.
- History of gaming exhibit, neeto - Canada has a budget surplus - The stolen cyanide truck showed up, missing cyanide - This kid is stupid Thanks Fark - A bunch of art destroyed, bummer - Face scanner not working out - Spam laws in EuropeLastly, it looks like we had another backout in advertising for the 120x600 towers (Man I suck as a salesman). We've got 50% rotation free right now and for the next month. Was thinking of having another pennystock style sell off to help us cover E3 expenses. I'm thinking $40 each slot, 5 slots max per person. We're expecting 1million unique visitors and 20million page views over the next month or so. If I get 20 people emailing me at this address saying "yes, I'm absolutely going to buy a slot" I'll go ahead and open things up tomorrow. Sound good? note: You dont have to be a company to have a banner. You can buy a spot to proclaim to the world how cool you are or think Maarten is if you like.
anyway, in all the mess he threatened to talk to the dean of the university i plan on going to (which i doubt he knows, but who knows) to fail me in all my classes.
in these words.
he said "you know i know the dean of your university, if i wanted to i could call up the dean and have you fail every exam you ever take."
luckily i had a taperecorder in my pocket.
now what to do with the recording...
oh he also told me i should watch my back, and that if he were 20 years younger he would throw me out the window.

Sade Lovers Live
Robbie Williams - Live at Albert Hall (Swing when you are winning tunes)
Super Short review:
Sade, Awesome lightning, 22! Tracks, Great Sound lots of bass, and she sings like a charm, OK Picture, Anamorph but doesn't look as good as it could have, most likely because it's very dark with lots of shadows etc.. nice extras, very good music,Conclusion = Ownage
Robbie: Awesome Picture, Awesome Sound, Nice extras and he really is good in this, you should be GAY if you denied it :-), of course this is old classics so if you dont like that you are fucked, Great extrax. Conclusion = Ownage in a non gay way

shackmessage me any more thoughts you might have on my post, I appreciate all of them thusfar
Thought computers would be good, but with tech in a heavy sag and all the retards in and around the field I'm pretty sure I don't want to be doing that anymore. I've also been doing it since last Sept. and I'm almost positive I'm gonna hate it. I could probably do the high and mighty network admin position, but those are quite a bit more rare nowadays and I doubt I have the motivation to work my way up. Also most of them would involve a 8/9-5 or some other equally silly hours.
As with most people my age who suddenly don't know what to do with their lives I've been considering military/government. Army/Navy/Marines would probably help me alot, but I'd probably get tech training and leave after my time was up and I'd be right back into the tech field I'd rather stay out of (albeit with alot of relatively free training) and of course I'd rather not end up as a grunt.
Air Force interests me the most though, my mom was a pilot (small planes), and I've done a small amount of piloting stuff with her. Seems like it'd be an excellent field, people aren't gonna stop flying despite what the media says, you work very few hours (compared to other jobs), and get paid very well. I'm not attached to anyone, so being away from home wouldn't be a big problem for me and I'd love getting to travel to other places (though I'm sure that probably gets old after awhile). The Air Force seems like it'd be a good way to get pilot training, and I'm sure the airlines love seeing "Air Force Trained" on a resume of a pilot. Even if I don't decide on piloting, Air Force Academy has a great rep for education (from the 4-5 people I've met that went there). I've sent of the little "send me more information" card (which oddly enough showed up the day after I started considering pilot/Air Force...) but that stuff will probably just be propaganda BS. Anyone else done Air Force? (dysfunctional went in, didn't he?)

You'll need an account there but it's free (and they don't seem to spam too much either).

What's your stance on copyright? IMHO, techinically speaking, you aren't taking any physical property away if you copy a few pages of a book or copy music. And, for example, if one company comes up with a scientific discovery, it would be hard for other companies to come up with derivative scientific breakthroughs if the said company has a copyright/patent on it.

So say awhile back you dated girl A who was your friend, things were cool but not cool enough to last, so you remained friends. Her friend is girl B, who you liked before you met girl A, but girl B had a boyfriend at the time and you respect that shit (well you fucking should if you don't, bizzatch) so that's kinda why girl A happened in the first place. Situation arises where you finally get to "collaborate" with girl B, who is now boyfriendless and down with that (you think). A while later girls A and B call you up to come chill at bar X, to shoot the shit and whatnot and you finally think you're going to get a chance to clear things up with girl A about how you feel about girl B.
You arrive at bar X, both girls A and B are already in progress on plan Y to hook you up with girl C, who you have never met but somehow has a crush on you. Eventually you wind up with girl C, wondering what the fuck happened. My life == a cog in the great girl-network machine.
Weird night.
