In The Words of GladOS, Still Alive

The cake is not a lie, but it has a lot of points. :) Anyway, mostly plugging away. Could be some interesting things in the future. We'll see. (How's that for vague?) Still coding Java. Still writing Medic. Still juggl…
So, Another Few Days...

Another thousand words on Medic, another layer or two of the Abyss, another day half-wasted installing PERL, MySql, and Apache to try to install Bugzilla only to hit a wall I didn't want to waste more time trying to clim…

Educational Films: Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

Things I Learned From This Movie: 1)Boas are surprisingly sturdy. 2)Never trust anyone with an English accent...well, that's true for any Lucas film. 3)Gunpowder is magnetic. 4)Powerful magnets are selective, and only at…
