DCS games
T, R, J, and N are all playing some game against each other on their computers. I probably wouldn’t enjoy playing, but I haven’t even been invited to. I’d really just like to walk out of here right now. If they’re not working either, I’d rather [Read More]
Yahoo Bombing
I was bored and angry and frustrated because my anger isn’t being channeled into anything productive. I had a flash of an idea, and I created an LJ community, because, well, it’s easy to do. Now I just need some other community members. The goal is basically to [Read More]
CGI Programming for Fifth Graders

Productivity
Work: nil Other stuff: yeah…I added Google AdSense to my Toastie Radio page. Please click on the ads, I will make like 2 cents per click. And I figured out how to do a little more customization on the LJ Boxer style that I use, so I’ve been playing with that. I [Read More]
Paralysis
I had the paralysis again this morning. I snoozed the alarm again and again, clinging to whatever dreams I was having, knowing that it was becoming ridiculously late.I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t want try to go to work. I wanted to be impaled, to be [Read More]
