365 Days

« 20 November 2007 | 15:18 | Life | No Comments »

A few of my friends have decided that we’d take a self-portrait each day for 365 days. Partly, just to see if we could do it, and partly, just to do it.
We’re on Day 2 so far.
If you’re interested in joining, it’s not too late! You just need a Flickr account.
Here’s my pictures.
And here’s my [...]



A Birthday Surprise! No, really!

« 1 November 2007 | 12:51 | Life | 1 Comment »

Ok, A Pretty Lady was being very mysterious about what my gift was. She kept trying to throw me off. She let out that it would arrive at 12pm today. This lead me to believe many things, if it were something coming from UPS or FedEx, how would she know what time. Then she tells [...]



October in a Nutshell

« 24 October 2007 | 17:44 | Life | No Comments »

October has gone by pretty quickly for me. It’s been a busy month. My family came up for a weekend, then I went to Belgium for a week, then another friend was here for two days. After that A Pretty Lady had a really awesome show. I went to three of the four evenings. Pile [...]



Are We At War?

« 22 October 2007 | 13:15 | Logic | No Comments »

I woke up today and checked my Work e-mail and had about 30-40 DenyHosts emails. These are automated emails I get when a host is blocked on our server. The hosts generally get blocked because they’re trying to hack into the server using a Brute force attack.
On any typical day I probably get 5-10 attacks. [...]



Ballet vs Mordern: My Take

« 2 October 2007 | 22:31 | Life | No Comments »

A Pretty Lady and I attended Fall for Dance, a dance festival taking place at the New York City Center. A friend of hers was in the festival and had two comp. tickets. This festival is very popular and the tickets sell out quickly, so we jumped at the opportunity to attend.
The shows vary by [...]



Beautiful Day

« 30 September 2007 | 11:59 | Life | No Comments »

The past 3 or 4 days have been great outside. Sunny but cool. It’s a great time to come up here to visit (for future reference). My parents are taking advantage and so is a friend of mine. October will be a busy month for A Pretty Lady and me.
First weekend, my parents and [...]



WoW/Blizzard/MMO Customer Service aaaarg!

« 17 September 2007 | 12:15 | Gaming | No Comments »

A few days ago, I thought maybe I’d try to transfer a WoW character from one of my accounts to another one of my accounts. The problem is the accounts in question are on two different last names. One of the accounts was my old roommates, who quit playing and gave me the account. I [...]



Grrzok is Level 70!

« 16 September 2007 | 20:15 | Gaming | No Comments »

20 days after I decided to start leveling Grrzok, my Horde Shaman, I am level 70. I started at level 45. 25 levels in 20 days isn’t too bad if you ask me. I had a lot of help from Kiatrasi.
Now I can actually start playing my character, since the game really only starts at [...]



My Dog Is Smart

« 16 September 2007 | 13:56 | Life | No Comments »

We bought a new sofa a few months ago. Before we got it, we attempted to teach our dog, Taylor, that she was no longer welcome on the sofa. She continued to get up there when we were gone and would be sitting there when we got back, which prompted us to tell her to [...]



How To: Driving in Belgium

« 11 September 2007 | 17:30 | Life | No Comments »

These videos are old. I took them back in February when I spent 2 weeks in Belgium for work. I didn’t have the Flash Video player then, so they didn’t get proper care. I was going through old files and found these, so I went ahead and converted them all for my own pleasure. Maybe [...]
