Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Jan 14, 2009 7:15am PSTAnother Wednesday, another day without telekinetic abilities. Sigh.
Last night, I tried to watch the latest Futurama movie, Bender's Game, but I ended up falling asleep towards the end. Not sure if I was really tired (it was pretty early, even for me!), or if I just wasn't feeling all of the inevitable Lord of the Rings jokes.
On the bright side, Maarten comes back from the Ukraine today! I think. Our daily Skype communications just haven't been the same without his unique blend of optimism and hatred. We've missed you, big guy. Glad to have you back!

Bookstore did not have Snow Crash so I went with Cryptonomicon as my first read by him. About 100 pages in and while the story hasn't gotten really exciting or anything yet, I can say I definitely enjoy his style of writing. I was at first intimidated by the large volume of the book, and from what other people had said it seemed like it would potentially be a tough read, but I have to say I'm looking forward to making my way through it fairly quickly! Good recommendation shack!

I had a Xerox, Canon, Lanier, and Panasonic tech all give me lip in the last two days when they asked for the IP configuration information and I told them to just set it as DHCP.
The Canon tech was the worst. I explained to him in every way I knew possible that once the machine connected, I could give it a reserved IP address and it wouldn't matter. I explained it didn't matter as I add the printer only to the server, on the server I use the DNS name and not the IP address anyways, and all clients print to the shared printer on the server. Nope, the fucker set it to DHCP, got the address and then changed it to static.
I've been called out to a number of networks that think they have some kind of security measure by turning off DHCP.

Do you ever connect to a server that shows 30/32 or any thing populated only to discover your a lone once you get in the game?
I make sure to check "Server is not full" and "Server is not empty" yet I still get this about half the time.
Also do you use any tags?
This is pretty fun even if I die a lot!

I'm playing on one, Goldrush second map as defending. The only other engineer set up in the back from the fucking beginning because he's too much of a loser to even try and stop them at the first point. I set up correctly and get 4 kills by my turret before a spy manages to stab me and sap my stuff at the same time. Fuck you teammates for not noticing and fuck you Valve especially for making the spy into James Bond on crack.
So I go back and set up near the spawn. Seven turret kills in less than a minute because the enemies aren't smart enough to avoid it. But here comes James Bond spy again, managing to get right next to me without any teammates noticing. Fortunately James Bond seems to have autism as he decloaked right in front of me, so I had to run around hitting him with my wrench because the engineer has shit weapons and none of my teammates notice.
Exit and dispenser gone I rebuild them only to have yet another Spy run past me, kill me, sap all my things, and get away even with my retarded teammates two feet away from me. Sure Valve is partially to blame, but damn did these people suck at playing. So After five minutes of work netting me middle a middle of the pack score against 30 other people who had been playing ten times as long as I had just then I decided enough was bloody well more than enough and quit.
Please, can anyone point me in the direction of a GOOD 32 man payload server?

Even if you're not an Oasis fan (but maybe you're a music fan in general) I think this is a pretty cool vid. Directed by "The Malloys" - who have directed numerous White Stripes videos - who followed Oasis last September in the lead up to the release of their number one album, 'Dig Out Your Soul'.

Amazing little flash puzzle game

This is perhaps the best puzzle game I've seen since Fantastic Contraption....
It's not much to look at, but the puzzles are generally very solid and some quite sneaky.

It's super sex. This is my first import car, and overall quality is just superior to any domestic car I've ever owned and driven in the past. Smooth ride, but I'm still in-tune with the road; it's a great mix of luxury and sport without overdoing one or the other. Still waiting to see what the gas mileage is like but I expect 25 mixed, which I will welcome with open arms over my previous 14 city SUV.
I would post pictures but here in New York, a car doesn't stay clean long with the shit they dump on the roads due to the snow.

I've got over 3000 pictures from the last year with my volunteer work. I went through and selected about 100 of them to share with you folks. Doubt anyone is interested but its been a fun year. Don't worry, I didn't select any of the graphic ones (I'm not legally allowed to post those for HIPAA reasons)
