Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jan 29, 2003 5:00pm PSTWell, goofing off with mom for a bit of belated birthday celebration this evening. She'll prolly wanna go to a strip club or maybe to a hospital to tip over people in wheelchairs. She has taste in entertainment pretty similar to the woman.

Not to sound overtly melodramatic, but it seems to be a slight against that whole freedom of speech and expression. It seems that the term troll has bled from just being applied to people who are obviously stiring up trouble, to people who have anything to say at all that isn't agreed upon by the mainstream.
very immature.
do people who label other people's opinions as "troll", actually get some sort of closure from it? I suspect so. And if so, it worries me.
I agree with the term with regards to labelling obviously inflamatory comments that aren't a statement of opinion, but if someone is stating a genuine opinion, that they believe, how can it be trolling?
(yeah, someone just said I was a troll. why? I said I didn't think splinter cell was all that jazz.)

Basically, it works like this. I have three very good diamonds left in my inventory. None of them have a ring for them to sit in. I am offering them up at cost, plus I will design, and produce a custom ring for no charge.
Liquidating stones can be a pain in the butt, so this is an interesting way of selling them quickly, at a loss. I don't mind the loss, I just want to turn them into cash short term to move into something else.
So basically I pay for all the materials including the metal, the model, the casting, production and finishing of a ring that anyone can guide the design on. Of course, if your design calls for 60 grams of platinum, and 30 grams of gold, don't expect it to happen :-). I'm talking about something reasonable, and if you want something huge or whatever, I can still cover the labor but you would be expected to cover any extra metal. I'm setting myself up for rape here, but not mega-brutal-foot-wide-goatse-assrape.
If anyone is interested, shackmessage me. The diamonds are all in the 1 to 1.2 carat range, of varying levels of fineness (one is a perfect D color, internally flawless, hearts and arrows diamond that I wanted to use for a special project one day). So this would cross spending budgets from around $6,000 to $15,000 depending on the stone.
If you know anyone who might be interested, or you yourself, feel free to shackmessage me. It's an open offer until these stones are gone.
Each of the stones has a GIA certificate of authenticity, and I hand picked them, two are mindblowing, and one is just plain good.

Also, I think I'd like to get rid of Neverwinter Nights, but I registered it and assigned myself a login name to use the servers and character vault. Does that account stick with the serial number? I assume it doesn't, and that I can sell the game to someone else, right?

Had this discussion in my film class at CSCC yesterday, and their union is talking about doing it. So we ask our teacher what they would do and they said that either we would get our money back or they just cut off our grades at the strike date. She said she wouldn't let us squeeze in anymore assignments once they give the 10 day "going to strike" notice, due to the fact that it would undermine things. Not only that, she said it would timed to cause the most havoc, either end of quarter or the start. Argh.
Sucks the most because for once I'm trying to do well in a class and this looms above me.
