Now while living the cube life isn’t the best of experiences, I think if you had this happen regularly you might be able to put up with it… I know I would.

‘Nuff Said
SPOOOOORE!
WOOO! Free Trial Creature Editor!. I can’t wait for this game!
I now return you to your regularly scheduled lives. I’m off to work and then Tam and I are packing for a quick weekend getaway without the munchkin. Yay Hotsprings!
Website Issues
Just a quick one here.
Yes I am aware that the website has been acting wonky. Things have been broken since my webhost redirected the DNS server to an old archive last week. I haven’t had a chance to fix it quite yet but I suspect I’ll have more free time in the coming week to devote a little bit more than a cursory glance to it.
Just bear with me and it’ll get done in time… Greg time that is *grin*
… And We’re Back
Woo!
Yay, I don’t have to wade through 10 months of archived posts trying to salvage things. It looks like my web host actually came through and found my missing sql databases. Hooray! Still no clue what all happened but right now I’m happy enough not to care and can now continue blissfully in my sporadic postings of deranged enlightenment.
In other news, I managed to see Iron Man yesterday. I figured I’d get it out of the way before Indy hits. It was good, but there were times that Robert Downey Jr.’s performance was just a little over the top and it grated ever so slightly. Still a great adaptation and it sets the stage for the sequel and the addition of Rhodes as War Machine. If you have the chance, I highly recommend seeing it.
Coming Late To The Party… Again
So I stumbled upon another gem of a webcomic tonight and I’m amazed I hadn’t discovered it sooner. It’s a brilliant amalgam of storytelling and art in a world reminiscent of a very trippy Alice in Wonderland. I can’t wait to read more because the story arc looks like it’s just beginning to unfold.
In the meantime I suggest you take a look for yoruselves and bask in the glory that is Kukuburi
If Your Life Was A Movie, What Would The Soundtrack Be?
Alright. I haven’t done one of these silly memes in awhile now. Going to place the blame fully on Christine for this one. Besides, placing the blame will totally distract everyone from my eclectically bad taste in music.

So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie

A Bit of Mindless Fun
Well, it’s been a fun weekend. The novelty of having a computer again still hasn’t worn off. I’m surfing randomly and trying to rebuild my bookmarks and links while also playing catch up with the sites that I haven’t had access to in the past 6 months. It’s bliss, glorious bliss.
Of course, once I had a working computer again one of the first things that I did was… no, not porn you dirty minded buggers. No, I downloaded the last couple of episodes from this season of Doctor Who! Yay geeky me. It was glorious.
Next was to go through all the fun and stupid links that people sent me.
I’m blaming my friend Tamara for these ones.
First up is a mindless little flash video that gave me a giggle.
Next up is Tokyo Plastic. An odd little Japanese site filled with modern and digital art. It’s not so much a website but an experience. Explore it, it’s rather unique and interesting.
There’s one more link that I can’t find at the moment that I really must share. it’s someone’s breakfast, ham and eggs and toast and bacon, transforming into a mecha like robot and dancing… it’s hillarious. When I find it I will post it. Until then, just imagine the cheesey goodness of that idea in your head.
That’s all from me for now. Back to surfing for cool schtuffz0r.
I Can Haz Laptop!
And my toy arrived bright and early this morning. Thankfully my dog likes to bark at the doorbell or I wouldn’t have heard the courier, but I did and I now have a fancy new toy. Yay. I’m currently upgrading the software and tweaking it to remove as many traces of Internet Exploder that I possibly can. Firefox all the way baby!
The speed of this thing is glorious. Copying my whole 10GB of songs on my ipod amounted to a whole 5 minutes as opposed to the hour or so it took before. This rocks. Now I am sitting here, getting comfortable with the keyboard layout and downloading all the mail that I’ve received since I last had a functioning computer back in September. Anyone care to take a guess as to how many messages that I have (not including deleted messages and spam)?
No, higher than that. I now have a total of 2887 Messages in my inbox since Sept. Go me!
Anyway. I need to start patching WoW. That will sadly take all afternoon using Blizzard’s useless updater. Oh well. I’m back online. The little things like that don’t bother me at all any more.
*happy dance*
Twitching The Night Away
So here I sit, hopefully for the last (or at the very least the penultimate) time at this keyboard on this crappy computer waiting desperately for my own new toy to arrive. I keep hoping that it will arrive soon. For the past two days I’ve gone to work hoping that I’d come home and there it would be, exhultant in all it’s glory but have been disappointed both days. Tomorrow perhaps is what I keep telling myself. I hope it’s here before the weekend though so as I can spend time setting things up and then come Monday on my day off, I can actually play on it.
Can you tell I was never any good at Christmas?
Anyway, since I’m bored and trying to amuse (read distract) myself from my lack of computational goodness, I’ve been surfing the web randomly looking for things to amuse and delight.
Tonight I came across this fun little article and accompanying photo that paints an interesting picture about Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica. I guess this means I need to hurry up and finish watching season three. I have one more disk to go and then I’ll be a whole two episodes behind by the time my comp gets here… but thanks the the wonders of modern torrent sites, I’ll be able to catch up on them (and Doctor Who) soon enough.
On that note, I’m off to stumble around the web some more looking for something shiny to distract and amuse me.
G’night for now.
