My team was down 4-0 in a match to 5. I kept trying to rally my team by saying "oh we were spotting them 4". So, we have to win 5 straight, 3 on 3. Me and another guy just go the fuck off the next 4 rounds. It was on Masoleum, we get down to the final round and I sneak off by myself after picking up the uber-pistol. Both of my teammates go down, I turn down one of the corridors and blast one guy with the pistol, I round the corner and see another coming and explode him with the shotgun. My adrenaline is pumping at this point and I switch back to the pistol and turn back down the same corridor to run into the last guy cranking the torque bow up, I dive to get out of the way but he gets me on the foot. Boom. Damn, I thought I was gonna pull this out. But I finally got my Don't Hate the Player acheivement. I ended up with almost 300 points from that match.
Damn I love this game.
P.S. Anyone know if the new maps count towards the Around the World acheivement now if you haven't gotten it already?

A new, better 'tower defense' game. It's got improvements from the last one that was posted here and played a lot. Still in beta, but seems pretty solid. Only 30 levels though (plus some bonus, not sure how many), but hopefully he'll add more.

"Of the research the group presented, the most compelling data by far was a list of the Top 20 Selling DVDs of 2006... indicating that only 4 of the 20 would or could be released on HD-DVD, and only 1 was exclusive to HD-DVD (Universal's King Kong). But of the 20 titles, 19 of them would be available on Blu-ray and 16 of them would be exclusive to Blu-ray."

So at work, our primary customers are women 50-60+ years old. These are the most awesome type of users on a web site. Especially when it comes to e-commerce. Through our hosting provider, everything on the site can been unencrypted or encrypted with SSL, all I have to do is change http to https in the url.. So I don't need to really transfer people to a new server during the checkout process. (lol don't take that sentence the wrong way, you know what I mean) Hence the check out procedure works like this..
Add Items to Cart -> Click Check out -> Type in Zip code for shipping charges(checks UPS/USPS via XML) -> Goes to Secure Server -> Type in Billing/Shipping/Payment Info -> Verify Info on Secure Server -> Complete Order on Secure -> Thank you message on Secure Server.
Now people were complaining that they were typing in credit card info on a unsecure connection, which I was saying was impossible, I mean the important pages even detect if it's not SSL and redirects it to the right address automatically. I mean, that's how sure I know it's impossible for them to being typing credit card info into an unsecured page. So finally I have discovered the problem...
When people type their ZIP CODE into the first page, the default message about security and forms data browsers pop up with is scaring away our users. So much infact one actually called in yelling today to speak with me because the site was not secured.
I give up. I should just make the entire site work off SSL. :/

Overall I liked Call of Duty 2 better. CoD3 seemed like it was somewhat rushed. Wii controls certainly helped make things more interesting. I just wish Infinity Ward is working on a new CoD for PC only and that's why 3 was farmed out. 3 was still a good game.

Today at work my boss threw a foamy stress ball at me. All in good fun, I turned around and chucked it back at him. In all my glory I hit the smoke detector, set off the fire alarm, the almost 1,000 people in the building were evacuated and they're thinking about taking $500 out of my paycheck to pay off the fire department for coming out in response to the alarm. I'm also now "that guy that set off the fire alarm" for the lose.

A client called me today and told me that her laptop was back from service and she couldn't connect to the wireless network at the office. I knew I'd be 2 blocks away later in the day so I said I would just stop by, no cost. (ra1n, the reason I do this is because if I don't charge them for every little thing, I will eventually get more business. I know you don't understand, that is why you are going to be a lawyer. Id rather them not resent me over $45 and later spend much more than that on me.)
I show up and I had it connected in less than 15 seconds. It helps to turn wireless on. I said have a good day and she pulls out the petty cash box. I say no no, this one is on the house and she says "no, the boss said to make sure I take care of you, even if it is my personal laptop." And then she gives me $5...

What do you think of this notebook? I priced out a similar Dell, and I could get something like this for slightly cheaper, but I NEED a PCMCIA slot, it is an absolute requirement, and it doesn't seem like any Dells have that anymore. Can anyone suggest a similar spec'd machine for cheaper/better?

I currently pay $158 and change for Charter to bring me phone, television (+moxi), and 3 MB modem services.
With the AppleTV introduction, I'm thinking more about buying the shows that I actually watch off iTunes. My roster of shows fairly slim, as I keep myself busy with 2 kids, a Wii and GH on the PS2.
Fox: 24
SciFi: Stargate SG-1, SG-Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica
Comedy Central: South Park and Daily Show.
HBO: Rome, Sopranos, Deadwood R.I.P.
Moxi records these shows, and sometime within 1-5 days later I'll watch them. I haven't watched live TV since we got our first TiVo in 2000, and I probably never will again.
If I were to cut back to lifeline cable TV ($15, for a savings of more than $50 per bill), I'd lose the cable shows. At $2 per episode, we're looking at like $40-$50 per year, per show. I like those numbers, as I can easily rent the HBO shows when they're released for mega-cheap.

What menu / setting do I have to change so that when I press Ctrl+Alt+Del the "Lock Computer / Shutdown / Logoff" menu shows up. Currently when I press it it's giving me the Task Manager.
Task Manager is great and all, but I need to lock my shit down!
