Fishpunk!
All alone
Boo!
There’s not even a hockey game to watch while hubby is meeting it tonight
Since I’ve been banned from beer i’ve discovered my inner cooler lover. Bacardi makes a piña colada breezer that’s the yum!
I just about stomach rum when it has a lot of coconut added.
I prefer rum breezers over vodka
+can
You know, I have 350 channels on tv and there’s not a thing on tonight. Oh well, I guess a reading night. Big sacrifice.
Time to bid you adieu TEB.
Good night Van. Sweet dreams
I was going to bring Canada’s own single malt whiskey (http://www.glenoradistillery.com/glenbreton.htm) when I went to Arizona but have decided I’m just not sure how well it will travel. Besides, a ten year old glen Breton costs as much as a teeny year old glen rothes and I, personally, prefer the glen rothes
Teeny = twenty
I haven’t recorded a contents of my “missing” parcel yet. Hopefully I’ll get a chance tomorrow
..and before the bed bugs bite. Speedball 2 goes free for the day:

Universal and runs nicely on the original iPad…
Van,
I may have to name you an honorary uncle for all the gifts you keep finding for my kids :)
I lost many, many, many, many, many hours to Speedball 2, both the Sega Genesis AND Atari ST versions.
Argh, I hates the silence.
Loves the Pink Floyd, though. This is brilliant:

^^^ David Gilmour sounds amazing on “Shine on You Crazy Diamond Parts 1 – 468,221″ (or whatever.)
Pages like these make me wish I could program:

Morning Pan. Month end, Ugh.
The Fable 2 addiction has been satiated. I completed the main adventure, learned every skill, killed every gargoyle, found every silver key and opened every demon door (with a purely good and a purely evil character). Great game overall, but the choosing of various paths (good or evil) seems to all lead to the same ending which is a bit of a let down. Even the choice between three different endings seems to wind up more or less the same. Now I can get back to work on important things until I get enough money to pay for Fable 3.
Just so you’re warned UH, Fable 3 is all but unwinnable in the good path.
hint: money, money, money
all the good people are suckers anyway!
MMMMWHAAAA HAAA HAAAA!
IMHO the only difference between the good and bad paths was that the good character had a halo and the bad one had horns. NPCs flock around the good character making it hard to move, but the fleeing characters are just as annoying for the bad character. As far as looks go, all the characters have “will lines” so I can’t even tell if there is scaring or not. Besides, most of the control over the good and bad paths (without outright slaughtering villagers at random) is done with FOOD. Food is not my idea of controlling how good or evil someone is. I can guarantee that when I get Fable 3, I will not be that concerned with choosing the good path.
Sometimes working for a large company can be frustrating when one department doesn’t know what another is doing.
and so it begins CCH
*sigh*
Joining TEB and Reaper in the “work is tough today” club.
Neat. http://www.boingboing.net/2011/05/26/music-gear-io-dock-f.html
My husband just has an Irig that allows him to use Garage Band as well there are a couple of other apps that allows him to do custom stuff with his guitar. He pretty much never uses real pedals any more.
BOOOOOO tough work BOOOOOO
on the fun size I’m heading down a path to maybe spend 50-80K on really cool stuff:
a small san
2 servers
VM ware starter
That is some really cool stuff. :-)
I’m a big fan!
I really want to stop using Hyper-V for my virtualization and VM Starter if perfect for us. It maxes out on 6/36 physical processors/cores but that is enough for 40 or more v-servers wouldn’t even get to 20
Today I raised my domain function level to 2008 and realized why it was so difficult to find information about problems with this processes:
It was one the most anticlimactic things I have done. 2 days of off and on research + 20 seconds of button pushing and it is done
LOL!
Boo to tough work, but Yeah to cool guitar interfaces.
The laptop interface I’m using isn’t in production anymore, but it is simular to this one.
http://tinyurl.com/277maww . I’ve been using my Metal Master pedal that has a “mixer” output as well as an “amp” output and I found the mixer output works well with my interface. I let the pedal handle the distortion modeling and I use Guitar Rig on the laptop for all the effects. Sounds pretty amazing once everything is dialed in.
Rhett, I gotta bring my bass over sometime for a jam.
\m/ !!!! Now if only I was a super awesome guitarist. LOL I guess we could settle for the metal version of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”.

yes.
I suck.
Cue alien invasion… ;)

Yeah, it feels like a Monday. :(

Let me be the first to volunteer to pee on you if the need arises.
Fortunately I am on the Gulf side and the jellyfish have not been a problem. Hold that thought though, If the next mmmmetup should take an unexpected turn I might take you up on that.
;)
Oh, a bit of good news.
Got a text from my sister last night. State Farm had finally decided to total out her house after all and had written her a check.
Still lots of details to take care of but at least now she can actually start making plans.
^Awesome JOe!
Sweet! You’ll be able to play with Catwoman in Arkham City.

Can I take the whip away from her before I start “playing” with her?
Purrrrhaps. ;)
Hockey: I’m picking Vancouver in 6.
I’m picking Boston in 3. ;)
It’s incredible that Boston has gotten this far. I’m gonna go with Vanamondecouver in 5.
Well if I ruled the world that city would get a name change..
You’ll have to obliterate George Vancouver from the history books as well. :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Vancouver
Rhett, would that be “Mary Had a Little Lamb of God”?
\m/ !!!!
J0e, you will never get any TPS reports done at that location. Enjoy!
He’s just looking for the cover sheet. ;)
ya I got… No its ok I got… Its right here I have the memo
Oh no. Lemmy sold out:

Let the games begin!
This is a terrible version of the US anthem
The redoubtable?
Justa, is that Redneck Riviera you’re relaxing in?
Hi everyone!
Yo EssBee. Just chillin’ and watching the hockey game
And me too, Bunny.
Vancouver gets the first penalty
Pomegranate liquer is the yum
You know, we’re 13 minutes into the game and there has been 8 minutes of penalties. Blah
It wiffled wide of the net?
No score, end of the first. 10 minutes of penalties. Now that the period’s over the fighting begins
Dairy queen has the best commercials now
I really wish there were fewer penalties in this game
For gods sake, somebody score!
I agree.
Ooooh, look at the puck bunny
12 minutes of penalties in the first period (I know I said ten but my sports app says 12) and 12 minutes of penalties in the second. It’s pretty bad when more than half the game is shot handed
Have you head of this band.

For some reason their version of metallica’s Battery has been taken down. You can find the audio only version on you tube
Yep. I enjoy their first album. We’ve talked about them once or twice around here.
That was a horrible rendition of Cold As Ice on the organ.
Is THAT what he/she was playing?!
I’m fairly certain.
*shudder*
Boston’s goalie is awesome tonight.
yeoch, brutal day in the market. So much for plans to retire this century…..
I know how you feel. I’ve given up myself.
This is a helluva game.
It will probably come down to someone making a dumb mistake.
Wow.
That was a hell of a game.
The final 18 seconds,it was anyone’s game the prior to that. Both goalies were awesome.
Yep.
The show is compiling.
Hi!
