I just posted this really bizzare article to /. It’s… rather bizzare. No, I have never participated in an orgy.

Marketing guys stole my black IBM keyboard this morning because they needed it for a trade show display. Grr.

I was going to write here on friday, but I guess I didn’t.

I seem to get the most work done on Friday than any other day of the week. That seems kinda bizzare to me. I think it happens that way because I feel guilty for not doing as much work as I should have prior to the weekend, so working like mad on Friday is a way to try and make up for it. Like right now, I’m writing here instead of working.

Tomorrow is Mongolian Hot Pot night. A search for “mongolian hot pot” on Google yielded more results than I expected. Apparently, myself and my friends are the only people who have never heard of this dish and therefore find its name hilarious. As a result, we will probably get blacklisted from Kowloon Dim Sum Restaurant.

so I had to go with NedStat. Grr. Dammit.

csoft broke my counter! Aagh! Death from above!

Yesterday morning as I surfaced from the subway people were handing out flyers outlining why Conrad Black is evil and that you shouldn’t buy the National Post.

This morning as I surfaced from the subway people were handing out free copies of the National Post.

I promise to myself that I will never be so obnoxious that I will get blacklisted from a restaurant. (Mental note: bring a friend next time who speaks Chinese so that the restaurant staff can’t say bad things behind my back)

I think I fixed my computer last night. After much updating and messing about with devices, Win98 is now happy. Note that Linux was always happy – it requires no additional appeasing whatsoever.

I took a great (ok, crappy, but whatever) photo of Jordan and Sari yesterday evening. They were just standing around talking on cell phones and it just looked… so funny. The photo is still on my camera though, so you’ll have to wait for me to get home and download it.

Crap! I’m going to the dentist tonight!

grog. pseudo-monday morning. Up until 1am wrestling with software that suddenly thinks that my CD-R drive can’t make CDs. And the audio CDs I do make only work in half the players I try them in. Grrr. I am a slave to coffee this morning… wait, that’s just like any other morning. slurp.

[tosses CD into player]

Well, my CD player at work likes this CD. 4 for 6 so far.

YAWN… well, poker night was a great time. Most of the usual suspects from last year were there. Unfortunately transportation to and from Seb’s house is less-than-stellar on a Sunday, and that caused some people to leave a little early. Ah well, who am I to complain, I had a good night and made $10 🙂

I am convinced not that ATI‘s video drivers are written by 8 year old Taiwanese childred working in sweatshop conditions. Why? Because these Windows98 drivers BLOW GOATS. And they’re messing up my computer. It might be time to re-run the Win98 upgrade to get things back to normal.

Song: Brand New Heavies – Brother Sister
Ironically enough, my sister first introduced me to this band, and this happens to be one of their best songs.

Tonight was the first poker night of the season. In fact, I’m still here, but the party has died down considerably. For those of you who don’t know, poker night was a weekly event last year with a group of old friends of mine from high school.

I just want to GET OUT OF HERE

wait, it’s 4:38, I could leave fairly soon… everyone else fscking left early, and half the office didn’t even come in today.

forget this, I’m gone.

There hasn’t been much to talk about lately I guess… Work has been going smoothly, been busy with Newton-related things and messing around with my computer, etc etc. Oh well. Maybe something will explode today.

Song: Nas – Nas is like
