YAY!

Tuna noodle casserole ()

by fluffy at 07:38 PM
Easy to make, filling, and doesn't taste horrible.

Prep time: 10 minutes of work, 30 minutes start to finish

Ingredient cost: around $4

Makes 4-6 servings

Purchase priority ()

by fluffy at 05:11 PM
In rethinking what hardware I need to buy for what purposes, I've come to the conclusion that I need a better tower system for doing all of my work on, not a new laptop after all. So I've been looking at various Powermacs, of course, and after a lot of poking and asking around, found a comparison of G4 vs. G5 systems.

Damnit, I miss Shooby ()

by fluffy at 07:29 PM
And I don't think I"m going to ever see him again.

Stupid bank ()

by fluffy at 08:54 PM
Just got a politely angry letter from my bank, requesting that I please fill out a deposit slip whenever I make a deposit at the ATM, giving me all this crap about how if I don't it becomes time-consuming and error-prone for them.

Totally ignoring two basic things:

  • Nowhere on or around the ATM does it say to fill out a deposit slip when making a deposit (it just says "Please insert an envelope containing the items you wish to deposit" or similar)
  • How is it my fault that their ATM deposit process fucking sucks?
Yet another reason I would move to a different bank if anyone else actually had ATMs in this city. Meh.

The best comedy of the year!

Oh wait, it wasn't supposed to be funny?

by fluffy at 11:41 PM
don't even feel like eating or writing a weblog entry

Slightly better comment form, I hope ()

by fluffy at 06:27 PM
I've gone ahead and learned enough Javascript to (I hope) improve the comment form. Let me know if you have any problems with it...

My futon may not be the softest or most comfortable bed around, but it's familiar and my own, and that makes a world of difference.

A tale of two Shoobies (, )

by fluffy at 12:27 AM
While I was in DC, my cat, Shooby, decided to wander off for a few days. He does this now and then, but never has he done it at Delphine's house. Hopefully he's okay...

And then I also just found out that Shooby Taylor who I named my cat after died back in June, but nobody who actually gave a shit found out until September 9th. Argh.

Finally on my way out of here (, )

by fluffy at 06:30 PM
Four years ago, I felt that as much as I hated Las Cruces, Washington DC was worse.

Today is no different.

Except I'm being delayed. And delayed. And delayed.

(In order to catch up and read these entries in chronological order, start with Sunday's comic and use the chronological navigation. It'll be easier that way, trust me.)

Ooh, I can get online with my cellphone! ()

by fluffy at 12:02 PM
After messing with this for the last few days I've finally gotten online via cellphone through bluetooth. Of course, now I'm about to fly back home, but oh well.

Posting backlogs shortly.

9:31 PM Just got home. 450 spams. Jesus. Working on getting stuff posted.

Trip = suck (, )

by fluffy at 11:05 PM
So, I had some wrong impressions about this trip.

(Not about it sucking, that part was correct.)

Sorry it's been so long since I've done a comic. Here's an extra-big one to make up for it.

How to make Konamix not suck ()

by fluffy at 05:27 PM
In three easy steps:
  1. Turn off the background character
  2. Put it into "all music select" mode (in "gameplay options")
  3. Turn the background brightness down to 60% or so

Dear Apple, ()

More product feedback, which I just submitted as an "enhancement request" to the iCal group.

DDR Konamix ()

by fluffy at 11:22 PM
So, I got my new pads today. I put one onto a revised version of the platforms, and played it for a while. It's a lot different than DDRMax.

12:36 AM I found the six-panel solo mode. You get it by selecting "six panel" from solo mode. Go figure. Man it's hard. But fun, with more interesting play (sort of like an inbetween place between single and double).

now that Apple has finally updated the Powerbook ()

by fluffy at 06:40 PM
I'm just waiting for OSX10.3. And income. Then I shall buy one.

12:01 AM Added some pricing information

The problem with Bluetooth ()

by fluffy at 03:06 PM
Before my phone was listening on Bluetooth constantly (and spending about half of its time with an active session), it was getting about a week of standby.

Now it's getting about a day.

Oh well.

On the other hand, it gives me warm fuzzies to have my computer automatically unlock and say "Welcome back!" when I enter the room... :)

September 15, 2003

Got the Bluetooth dongle ()

by fluffy at 03:58 PM
and my Ericsson R520m is trying to sync. Though, so much for the "it Just Works" theory...

(Well, it does Just Work, but only if you know which way to do it.)

Splenda and sucralose [updated] ()

by fluffy at 12:08 PM
I thought that the dangers of sucralose were being overstated by the usual suspects of conspiracy-theory wackos who want people to buy into their fad diets and so on, but now I'm not so sure.

Site layout changes ()

by fluffy at 03:15 PM
I've decided to make a few changes to the structure of this weblog, which I think will make it more convenient for people to read and browse.

Job interview ()

by fluffy at 02:40 PM
I just had an interesting job interview.

(Also, I'll probably start doing some retroactive journal comics of the past weekend tonight, for those who have been jonesing for a scribble fix.)

September 09, 2003

Don't feel like weblogging right now ()

by fluffy at 10:00 PM
and I don't feel like drawing a journal comic.

Got back from my parents' house in one piece. It was a very nice visit. Hung out with my sister a lot. Need to catch up on sleep after spending so much time on the shitty hide-away bed-couch in my old bedroom. Whee.

Toby missed me lots.

September 05, 2003

What the hell is he doing?! ()

by fluffy at 05:45 PM
One of my parents' cats has taken a rather intense liking to my shoes. He's nuzzling and licking the soles, and seems to be getting really heavy into it.

And I thought Shooby was weird...

Dear phenylalanine, ()

You are my favorite amino acid.

You make me feel good when I'm feeling bad.

I love you, phenylalanine!

Can we finally put an end to this?! ()

by fluffy at 05:29 PM
I got a note left on my door today from Jesse next door. It's amazing how people can spend so much effort getting fed up when it'd have taken a lot less effort to deal with things sanely.

Journal comics ()

by fluffy at 11:41 AM
Drew Weing seems bitter about the natural consequence of Sturgeon's law.

Come on, that 90% of crap has to come from somewhere.

11:58 PM Oh, he explained. I don't know which "comics journal review" he's talking about but my guess is that it's some sort of over-the-top "THIS IS THE FUTURE OF COMICS!@!$!$!!" wankfest, like all of the articles about webcomics a few years ago.
