Man was not built to fast for 19h with no preparation. But this is damn good food.
Goodbye, Mobius’ Rose
May you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our planet,
And you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to Heaven,
And the Stars spell out your name.
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind:
Never fading with [...]
I havn’t climbed for several weeks. This is bad, as it’s resulted, shockingly enough, in myself being more tired and worn out after every day of work. Taking a break from sitting in a chair, and hauling my ass up a vertical incline, has done wonders for my mental and physical well-being.
Saturday I was unshocked [...]

I’ve maintained a strict preference for keyboards with large travel, a satisfying clack, a brutish durability.

It would appear that the best two streaming servers around right now are Icecast (gpl) and Shoutcast (freeware). Both of these seem perfectly capable, but the deciding factor was the source for [...]
After weeks upon weeks of social stagnation, I’ve finally made progress! And not even one, I’ve got two dates this weekend, brains the both of them!
Ahem. One of those two dates is with Shannon. The other is with Matt, a good friend I havn’t seen in weeks. Cut the rumor-drama already.
But if I try to use various steam objects & models in my own project, and I havn’t yet played the damn game they’re from, it doesn’t work. That’s fair enough, I suppose, expect that it doesn’t bomb out with a useful error message like “j0, you ain’t doing that will you done gone play [...]
At the persistent insistence of my compadres, I obtained and watched all 14 episodes of Firefly. It left me wanting more. More action, more answers. Development of Shepard Book’s backstory, development of River’s future. Some relational happiness for Kaylee the earthy feminine greasemonkey. Yup, the wild west, where win32 runs the trash cans.
I’d hope that [...]
