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
Lyrics here.

Last night I dreamt of a time machine that was shaped like a dolphin and flew through the air, and that someone I used to work with last year was now on the street and selling Outreach papers (I bought one)

This is for all my friends at UTS writing exams this week. (Well, OK, mainly for Mere and Jor, but anyone else who wants to claim it is welcome)

Sentient meat exists, at least in someone’s warped mind.

I learned how to use the enigmatic coffee maker at work today! w00t!

Bjorn Lynne is one of the greatest composers of our time IMO. My favourite album of his has got to be his latest, Revive. It’s so good I posted a comment on his web board when it came out, and I actually got quoted on the page!

Thanks to Tony for Pylon of the Month, which it probably the most boring site ever conceived. Not only that, but all of the photos are taked in depressing overcast conditions (or at least it seems that way). Stereotypical British dreariness.

I watched Trekkies on TMN last night. It was a really, really interesting documentary. I thought it was very well done. They talked to a lot of interesting people, and the majority of them were not the total wackos that most people think Trekkies are.

My Shopping List (in no particular order):

• 128MB PC100 SDRAM DIMM
• SCSI DVD drive (which will probably require me to rewire vast amounts of my SCSI bus)
• the Perl Black Book

today has been… interesting. I slept in until 10:30 this morning – meaning I was way late for work. crap. Then for some reason I finally got introduced to our project tracking system. A little late I think… oh well.

Song: Coldcut – Atomic Moog
Hooray for Chemlab for keeping me sane at work. This is one of my fave tracxks that I requested this afternoon.
