Grumble, Grumble

Ran out of coffee this morning. Not happy. Well, to be exact, I ran out of ground coffee – there’s an entire kilo of beans in the freezer. I just don’t have any good way to grind them yet. I may be forced to pull out the old hand grinder tomorrow morning – desperate times [...]

A really sweet audio interview with the 4th Ed D&D designers here. They seem switched on and responsive to feedback – I have high hopes for the future of 4E.

Today I made my final payment on my Macbook Pro. Hurray for stuff! Of course, I won’t be buying a thing until late October when LittleBigPlanet comes out, due to the expense of the Vibiemme. Well, I guess I can afford a tamper, right..? …apparently I can!

Lit the oven with my traditional fear-based method of turning the gas on and throwing matches in until one of them worked. What’s new [...]

Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but Trading Places still holds up for me. And man, Jamie Lee Curtis had smokin’ boobs.

I love Windows XP. I love the amount of care and effort put into it by Microsoft, especially the setup process. Language? English (Australian) Location? Australia Here, your suggested timezone is…. TIJUANA, MEXICO. Seriously. Why has OS X gotten this simple detail right from day one and XP still does stupid shit? Hell, even Linux [...]

Money shot Originally uploaded by Squozen AND.. I took photos today! I just got back from Ballarat – it is seriously freezing up there. It hailed, and I think it maxed out at 2˚C. Poor Mopsy chewed through petrol like crazy to compensate for the dense air. Luckily, I got some birthday money! Yay!
