<davej> so mountain dew have made a huge fuck up.
<davej> they marketed this drink to me as 'game fuel'. but it tastes distinctly like 'ass fuel'

<ajax> it's like kicking a puppy
<ajax> ... in that's it's really fun

<ajax> i pick good days to go to olpc office
<ajax> free ice cream in the lobby
<keithp> ajax: winning
<keithp> ajax: where is it from?
<ajax> buckets?

<mjg59> daniels: You'd better be getting dolla dolla for this
<daniels> mjg59: well, euro euro, but yeah

<ajax> yum, well. let's not mention yum.
<clee> ajax: I thought you were making yum not suck.
<ajax> clee: i realized life was short and i wanted to work on something that stands the remotest chance in hell of getting me laid
<clee> ajax: I thought you already got guaranteed sex.
<ajax> HEY I MADE THE UPDATER FASTER: "eew, go away"
<davej> "Hey baby, want to see multiple graphic cards working at once? huh?"
<ajax> DUDE CHECK OUT THIS GADGET IT'S WAY CUTE AND HAS WOBBLY WINDOWS: "ooh, i spreads for you"

<clee> man, git hates me.
<daniels> git does not love
<daniels> occasionally it roughly pleasures
<daniels> but there's no tender embrace, and definitely no breakfast the next morning

<ajax> and if i'm marking up every sdk header _anyway_, i want to make a pass over them eliminating all the cases where we do struct foo { a, b, #ifdef I_KICK_PUPPIES, c, #endif, d, e, f }

<clee> how the fuck is dobey still on planet GNOME?
<clee> (though I admit I am amused by the response to his "please stop talking bad about us" post.)
<ajax> gnome isn't just about fucking ugly software
<ajax> it's also about fucking ugly icons

(note: yes, I read Planet GNOME. And a dozen other Planet sites.)

<clee> ajax is a whore
<ajax> a whore with a nicer monitor than you

Definitely picking up one of these.

[savanah] I'm going to snowball you one of these days, just to show you the difference between sperm and orange pulp

[ajax] zrusin has already threatened me with violence if gobject is ever attached to X
[ajax] and i can't afford that. i'm too pretty, and he fights dirty.

My friend Jeannette had a terrible time with Metropolitan Moving. If you're going to be moving anytime soon, I'd suggest avoiding them.

<canllaith> -5 points for having a seriously hot ass he prolly won't let me violate

[ajax] it's like we've entered a new level of geekhood, one which I did not previously realize existed

So, ajax and I are hanging out the other night.

He heads to the fridge to grab a Coke, and comes back with a serious expression on his face.

[ajax] Well, we have a couple of options.
[clee] What?
[ajax] There's only one Coke left. So, we can-
[clee] Fight. To the death.

Good times. (Obviously, I won, since I'm here to blog about it.)

ajax arrived a few minutes ago, and my inbox just hit 666 messages.

hmmm.

I blogged last month about switching my phone to Vonage, which has gone swimmingly well. I'm really happy with Vonage, in that I haven't had to deal with them at all because their product just works (which is so rare in our industry that it's scary, and I'm sad that I even find it noticeable that I'm commenting on it), and also in that the features they provide seem to work really well. Being able to check my voicemail from the web is totally badass.

That said, since I no longer have a cell phone to keep my address book on, I decided to pick up a Palm once more. After checking out a few models and consulting with coworkers, I decided to pick up the Tungsten E2.

I put my order in on Tuesday, December 6th, and I made sure to select 'Overnight shipping' because I'm an impatient bastard and I want it now. I would've gone into a store to buy it, but it came with a free 128MB MMC flash card when I bought it online from Palm, and like a sucker, I decided to go for the freebie.

(I also noticed, just after submitting my order, that Amazon was selling the same exact handheld, sans the 128MB flash card, for $150. D'oh.)

I just got a mail from Palm, today, informing me that my order has been shipped.

I won't have it until Monday; even if UPS does deliver it tomorrow, I had it scheduled for an office delivery since I expected to be at work, and I'm not planning on going in to the office tomorrow.

In other words, by the time I get it, it will have been almost a week since I placed the order. With "Overnight" shipping.

[ajax] alanc: oh, you mean like any sensible system would do
[alanc] since when has sensibility had anything to do with how X is built?
[ajax] touché

[kfoltman] is there any way to "record" a group of drawing operations into a sort of metafile, then render that metafile on a printer "drawing surface"?
[TD] kfoltman: yeah. it's called a PDF file ;)

[@ajax] i have found the greatest flash game ever
[@ajax] http://www.ebaumsworld.com/kittycannon.html
[@daniels] 595ft
[@daniels] hm, 928ft
[@ajax] 1144ft is my record so far
[@daniels] now 1022
[@ajax] i'm pretty sure that if launching kittens out of cannons is wrong i don't want to be right

[@hp] clee: hold me like you did by the lakes of naboo!

Holy shit, this is awesome.

Seriously.

[mgalgoci] policy I'd like to have set: "When people ask for email aliases, the aliases are granted on the grounds that IS gets to decide what the alias is."
[clee] mgalgoci: oh, oh! what's mine?

It's 5AM.

I'm blind, and it's dark. Music from Metal Gear Solid 3 floats through my apartment and yet I can still hear the drops of blood hitting the surface of the water as my nose drains.

Nosebleeds have been a pretty common occurrence for about as long as I can remember; I've had them ever since I was a little kid. They've started back up recently, after I had gone several months without having any. I'm not sure exactly why but I think it might be somewhat related to drinking soda. (While I was caffeine-free for that six weeks or so, I didn't have a single nosebleed.) I've recently started drinking the stuff again, since it's easier to drink it than not to, but I may have to rethink that choice in light of this.

Oh well.

Speaking of Metal Gear Solid 3, I finally sat down and played through the rest of it. I had gotten farther along than I thought before I stopped playing it back in November, and the game is just amazing. I can't think of enough words to describe how much I enjoyed playing through this game.

[ajax] clee: i was wrong, you were right
[clee] ajax: ?
[ajax] clee: the Model M is a superior product

[cliff] Hm. If I get a raise, I will buy a Powerbook. That will be like donating my raise to charity. (In the sense that the raise will not be reflected in my paychecks.)
[cliff] And it will make the world a happier place. (Where 'the world' is me.)

I crave brownies.

That is all.
