Just as it began... not with a bang, but a whimper.

Pros, cons, and more uncertainty than I had when I started.

According to the food caterers at this Siggraph party, "international" means:

• A table with nachos ("Mexican")
• A table with pizza ("Italian")
• A table with bratwurst, sauerkraut, and pretzels ("Bavarian")
• Warm Heineken

Now the problem is that there's too much I want to attend which is all at the same time. Grr.

Last update: 5:10 PM PDT (I may have a job!)

How long and at what temperature should one bake a pizza with a whole wheat crust? 'coz mine's been going for like 25 minutes at 475 now and although the toppings are getting pleasantly crispy, the crust is still basically raw. I think it's getting moisture from the tomato sauce or something.

I passed another 9* level. Which I followed up by passing another 8* level. Which I then "cooled off" from by passing a 7* level. And after all that, I still somehow managed to get MY BEST SET SCORE EVER. Holy cow.

The invenerable Cafépress is now offering on-demand book publishing. It looks like it wouldn't be too costly to finally make Hypnagogia available in bound format, for those who really want to buy a bound copy of it (though I don't think the three or four people who insisted it'd be a huge commercial success would be interested in it anymore).

I was just buying a quick, late and cheap lunch at the grocery store when I noticed "Café Intense: Candy with X-treme Caffeine" candies in various flavors, including cappucino and café mocha. So I got some café mocha ones.

You may notice the slightly-more prominent PayPal button in the corner of the index page. I have a reason for it... And it really pisses me off that I feel that I have to stoop to this level.

I had a rather funky dream last night. I'll try to remember what I can about it. Unfortunately, the funkiness was all visual in nature, so capturing it in anything less than full animation probably won't work too well...

Hey, it's cheap, it's edible, and it's got a lot more nutrition and flavor than a bowl of Ramen.

yum

9:01 PM oh man I'm really drunk. this stuff's like rootbeer but moreso! FWEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! (and i only had one! i'm such a featherweight :)

936 PM second one is jharder to get through. which keyboard key does what thing? fwee (i have now gently fucked the pain away with a chainsaw!)

Grab v1.5 while it's hot.

Also, this is the 2⁸th entry. (Yes, I know the archive file isn't numbered 256. But trust me anyway, this is the 256th entry.)

Hopefully I'll be making an AudioCompress release soon, since someone submitted a patch to let it act as an esd plugin (so all esd-speaking apps can be processed by it, which makes me very happy indeed).

The only reason I'm not releasing it yet is that for some reason, it keeps on blocking on write after 31 fragments are processed. Anyone have any ideas? The patch submitter doesn't have any idea what's going on for me.

my 1P DDR pad is already worn out.

Some of us just have crappy memories when it comes to where we parked our cars.

The rest I agree with though.

Wherein I list my job submissions thus far.
