My Black Friday Deals

I bought 2 used PC games for a grand total of $5. I think I waited a day too late, bought them today (Saturday).
Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
Zoo Tycoon
I got Raven Shield cause I hear online play with it is pretty fun. I’ve played very little single player, too much team management while [...]

Turkey Massacre Day

OK, that title was just there to throw you off, I’m pro-meat eating. I wonder if there is bill in congress to switch the official animal of Thanksgiving from turkey to chicken. Chicken just tastes better.
Anyway, freaking driving home took 4 hours instead of 1:45 hours. Damn Turkey Day traffic.

Weekend

Went home this weekend.
Went to a bazillion people’s places for breakfast/lunch/dinner (and all the courses in between). I think I ate too much, could barely walk at the end of the day. Woke up at 6am, left the house, came back at 11pm, went to sleep. All the while visiting friends/relatives/etc and [...]

Cool-Zilla

So yesterday I upgraded my copy of Firefox 1.0PR to 1.0 and Thunderbird 0.8 to 0.9. Haven’t noticed any difference between the versions, except that the Quality Feedback Agent is not installed [...]

Didn’t Rain, But It Poured

Oh Fawke, I missed it!

It totally slipped my mind that yesterday was Guy Fawkes’ Day. I feel terrible. Damn British Parliament!
Good thing I live in the U.S. and could care less about Guy Fawkes’ Day.
But then again, George W. got re-elected.
