So instead of sitting around the house moping last night, I ended up going out to the games store for their friday night open games. I didn't actually play, but I got to watch a few decent games, and saw a bunch more not so good ones.

It also sort of emphasized to me why they're hoping I show up and play, some of those...

I need to find some more reliable friends, or at least friends with more reliable lives.

Supposed to have two friends over tonight. Get a call wednesday, friend wants to know if I can go out with her friday, having plans I say no.

Last night I get a call, friend one has to work.

Just now I get an email, friend two's ex wife...

Looking over at the past entries list, there seems to be something in here for almost every day. Strange how you can get used to posting a journal, even though whenever someone asks you, nothing's new.

Ran into one of the games workshop guys when I was dropping the roommate's daughter off at school this morning. He was sitting there waiting for the bus so...

Tuesday night gaming summary:
3 Characters leveled up.
1 Cleric dead.
I think on the whole things went well at least on my end. The job of the DM as I see it is to put you in situations where it's dangerous, but if the party plays it smart they will prevail. This does not include a cleric forgetting to heal himself, and the other...

I'm thinking Thai House for lunch today, I haven't done that in a while.

It's gaming day today, that means that my boss'll come in around 3 and ask why I'm still here. It's also the last session before we switch over to another guy running things for the next few months. Every 2-3 months we switch, just to keep things interesting.

So the question...

Bumming around the office today, got in this morning to find the latest and greatest bug list. So I fixed all but the last one, I think windows hates me. For some reason it works on all the machines in the office, and my machines at home, but dies on the portable machine when trying to access A: drive. Here's the great part, if you...

Woodworking show today. I managed to get out without buying a panel saw. But I want one, I mean this is one of those toys that I really really WANT. I don't know why, it's not like I ever have time to do woodworking these days. And I don't have a truck available anymore to bring wood to and finished stuff from my place. There's...

/yawn.
So it's way too early to be up, or at least that's what my body's telling me.

Actually starting to get somewhere with this warhammer army, 5 tactical squads, and 2 devestator squads. At least there will be once I put arms on them. The guys are coming over to paint tonight so we'll see how far I get through that.

I'm starting to...

Just saw shaun of the dead, it's fucked up and funny as hell.

So yah, it's the morning after, and I'm still chuckling about that movie.

I think I've figured out why I'm not getting anything done at work lately, we've run out of my caffinated beverage of choice here at the office. If we were out of coffee that'd be a crisis, but we've...

What is it about this job, that some days I'll do amazing amounts of work, and the next the most productive thing I'll manage to do is stare are the keyboard?

So, I finally fixed this bug that's been lurking in the background forever. It's been one of those isn't it fixed yet, why isn't it done, oh and by the way this new feature is your top priority things.

But it's done, dead, /squish. Turns out that just because the current thread releases a critical section doesn't mean that another thread that's been waiting on...

It's looking like I might end up being spun off into my own company.

So work would end up being contracted by the current company I currently work for to do web developement. Contracted by some of our current clients directly for custom software and by yet another set of new clients to do custom software for timing systems.

What all this means to me:...
