Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Sep 29, 2008 4:35am PDTAh, Monday. The bane of lasagna-loving cats worldwide.
As we settle into the new week with a fresh chatty, I have a quick story you may find entertaining, in that self-deprecating kind of way. See, I've never beat Duke Nukem 3D. So I've been trying to fix that, care of the recent Xbox Live Arcade re-release.
Well, last night I played a few levels before bed. But after I went to sleep, something weird happened: I dreamt about Duke Nukem 3D. And not just regular dreams. Nightmares, of relentless assaults by Pig Cops and Octobrains, of sinking subs.
The moral? I don't know. Never play Duke Nukem 3D before bed, I guess.

Hey, does anyone have an idea what's going on with it this year? Is Sikander still organzing it? When are signups supposed to be? (I missed them by a few days last year due to a business trip, and don't want to repeat that mistake).
I'm really looking forward to this year. I'm about 1 out of 4 for getting a WE (though that one was a kickass WE by proclone1 (containing a quart of JW Black that i'm still working on) that totally made up for the missed WEs.), and 1 out of 4 for an acknowledgement of a received package, but i'm still excited. Even though some shackers don't seem able to write a SM to say what they think about it, it's still fun to package and send them.
I always look forward to this event!

For me: a new Castlevania using IV's tech. The NES 'vania's were fun, but I loved IV, as it was HARD, not CHEAP. Also, how about a new 2D Sonic, Sega? Enough with this 3D nonsense.

Tomorrow the CRTC rolls out the national Do Not Call List! Be sure to check out the CRTC's website to get the scoop http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/welcome.htm
There's a bunch of exempt organizations BUT they still have to maintain their own internal DNC lists. Thankfully there's another website you can use to exempt yourself from a bunch more of those over here: http://ioptout.ca/
Having just received one of those annoying calls I was emboldened to get the word out.

Does anyone have a married sister who doesn't work, but could, which would greatly contribute to the house's financial well being? Or perhaps a similar situation?
I have an older sister, whom I love, that was a stay at home mom for the last few years - my niece is 6 now. Well, now that she's in school full time, it bugs me that she doesn't work, especially considering that they have 2 cars(neither paid for) and over $100,000 in other debt. My bro-in-law makes ok money, but supporting 2 people and not getting ahead, when they could be, seems wasteful. I don't know why it bugs me so much, but it does. Hell, a $10-15/hr job would help them tremendously - even if part time!
Additionally, they are both bad with money, always justifying purchases, when in fact the purchases were not necessary. I don't think they ever have money in savings, and always have some credit card debt. I understand this is a symptom of the current financial issues, but how would you approach this subject with your sibling if you were me?
Thanks for listening!!!

Well, I picked up a Logitech Illuminated keyboard instead of the Apple wired keyboard (just didn't like the feel of the keys).

OMG this thing is sex. It's perfect. Works perfect with my MacBook Pro. and even the volume keys work. Very nice indeed. The key travel is about 50% more travel than the MBP keyboard which isn't bad, but if gives just the right amount of feedback. The illumination is perfect as well. it's even and isn't too bright.
Also. YA! I got a number keypad now as well.

I can WINE my Civ4, and I don't do much else except program now, so I'm going to suck it up and relearn my computing ways :(
Hopefully by next week, I'll figure out how to install things.
