Currently, three of the most recent posts I've made are about changing my browser.I need to find more interesting things to talk about.

Posting this using Firefox 3. Actually 3.something, but I don't really care about the exact version number. That's right, I've changed my browser again. Those of you keeping score at home can correct me if I've got this wrong, but I think this is the 4th time I've fundamentally shifted my browsing preference.First was IE to Opera.Then Opera to Firefox 2.Then Firefox 2 to Chrome.And now Chrome to

A bunch of my friends are playing the Warhammer MMO now. They want me to join in, and I'm kind of interested, but I'm not sure. Let's recap our collective gaming experiences. I'll use Steve as my example, since he tends to be the one who gets me to play games.First off, we have Guild Wars. Steve (and everyone else at the time) got me interested in this. They hyped it up, and when I got to play in

Making a post with Google Chrome.I've been using this browser pretty much since it came out. Think that was back in August. Maybe? I forget. It's been a few weeks anyway.Anyway, it's pretty nice. Things load fast, every site I go to seems to work. Only wish I could customize the tabs so that it always opens my home page instead of the default page it insists on giving me.So yeah, Chrome.

Summer sausage is delicious.Inspired by a post on Kev's blog about phoning it in, I thought I'd phone in a blog post of my own.His has a picture, but mine has a functioning link. I think I win.

Well, I finally got sick of that weirdo page rendering bug I was having with Opera. It happened randomly, and when going to a new page, the old page wouldn't get cleared first. The new page would render under the old page, and to see the new one I'd have to scroll down and then back up to refresh the screen. It just started happening, and I didn't have the patience to fix it.So I went wandering

I just got an email that's made my blood boil. I don't like when my blood boils. It's hot and bubbly, and no good can come of it.They're raising my domain registry rate.Instead of $5.99, it'll be $6.99.Is this blog really worth 7 bucks a year? I know it's worth it to keep my email address, though, so I guess I'll just pay the extra dollar.Now to find out where the expression "makes my blood boil"

Well, finally got to see the Sens in HD. Definitely worth the wait. I've also started watching Heroes. I got the first season on DVD, and watched the whole thing in the span of a couple days. On TV tonight was episode 9 of the second season, so I have some catching up to do. Sadly, I can't find them online and NBC's website only lets you watch the online episodes if you live the states, for some

When I made the upgrade to HD TV, one of my main motivations was to watch the Senators in high definition. Seems simple enough. Almost a week since I got the HD box, I have yet been unable to do so.First off, I was supposed to get the box last Saturday, sometime around noon. The game started at 3 o'clock, so I had lots of time to get it set up and running before the faceoff. Instead, the entire

Well sir, here I am again. I've had internet for 3 days now and I haven't even thought about making an entry on the ol' blog. For shame.One big reason for that is the fact that I've been playing Portal, and loving every minute of it. I'm too tired (just had a round of Team Fortress 2 that left me completely drained, on top of it being quarter to 1) to explain or link to it, but a Goggle search

So, here it is, 11pm on a Thursday. Tomorrow night I'm going straight from work to Kingston for Homecoming. I have yet to start packing.I did, however, have time to re-read every post I've ever written on this blog. Which, incidentally, has now been around for 3 years (actually 3 years and a week). I just realized that, so I don't have anything major planned for it.Still, 3 years. Wow. Guess I'll

I hate it when things I normally buy go on sale. As weird as that sounds, it's true. Not that I don't like saving money, mind you, but there's a very serious issue here.When something's on sale, conventional wisdom says you will sell more of it. That's all well and good. However, the increased demand menas that those of us who can't get to the store before 5:30 get there too late to partake in

I just pulled out my air conditioner. After two previous attempts saw the temperature skyrocket as I was defrosting the innards (you have to run the fan for 24 hours to clear out all the condensation on the inside), I finally got a run of cold, miserable days during which there was no possible way the temperature could climb.So here I sit, in a quiet room for the first time in a while.

There's a stain on my shorts, and I have no idea what it's from. I wear these shorts all the time, so there are probably a million things it could be. However, I suspect it's grease of some sort, probably off the pizza I had tonight. Posts like this are the main reason I tend to avoid blogging before bed. Brain's already shut down, and all I can do is blither like an idiot.

Hi everybody (or nobody, as the case may be).So yeah, been slacking on the old blog. Again. This should not surprise you. Haven't had a whole lot of gumption the past little while. Not a whole lot of motivation or inspiration either. It's sad, since I used to post on this thing like every day. Mostly tedious crap, but hey, it was something.However, rather than get into another "hey look I'm

I'm currently in London, in a hotel room blogging over the free wireless.I took pictures of the room, but I'm honestly too tired to do a write up right now.Almost 7 hours in the car, and I don't have cruise control. My knee is killing me.

Greg and I have concluded that for true success, the Toronto Makeme Laffs must bring Bill Berg out of retirement and sign Aki Berg's brother, who as yet remains nameless. They will play wing for Sundin.The Berg Sundin Berg line will dominate through lopsidedness. Sundin will score the goals, Bill Berg will tear people's head off, and Aki Berg Jr will score on his own net.Leaf Nation, rejoice.

Surprise, I'm still alive!Not only that, I just booked a hotel room. Going to London next Friday for Matt and cat's wedding, which should promise to be a blast and a half. Or possibly 2 full blasts. Maybe more.Apparently the room is "contemporary with when the place was built" according to the desk guy I talked to, so it's got 60's-style everything. I'm definitely taking the camera.I forgot how

So, Blogger wants me to use some new upgrade they're pitching. Apparently it's merged tighter with Google and has more features, which sounds okay, but one thing bugs me.They say I have to sign in with my "Google id". Now, I don't know about you guys, but I've never had an id with Google. Never registered, never had to sign in (except to Blogger), never even heard of this until now.What could

I probably shouldn't be doing this.Anyway, all my coworkers have mysteriously disappeared. I know they're all here today, but none of them are in their cubicles. I got up to go to the bathroom, and when I got back I was all alone.I hope I didn't miss a meeting. There's nothing on my calendar, but sometimes my boss calls impromptu meetings.

Coming to you live by tape delay from the spare bedroom of my girlfriend's house, it's the resurrection of the blog. Faster. Stronger. Better than it was before.Maybe. I guess I'll hold off on making any claims about quality, seeing how I'm not sure if I'll be posting regularly or not. I hope to, but who knows what the future might hold.So much to talk about, I don't know where to start. Alright,

Tonight is game 5 of the Ottawa/Buffalo series. If you're American or have been living under a rock, Buffalo is leading the series 3-1 and the Senators are fighting for their lives. They won the last game to stave off elimination, and in doing so they looked the best they have in this series.I think it was a turning point. They've started to wake up and realize that they're the goddamn Ottawa

I start my work placement on Monday. I have to be there, in Kanata, between 8:30 and 9. It takes an hour on the bus, so I have to be leaving the apartment around 7. To be ready for 7, I have to get up around 6.I can't get up at 6. Some nights I'm barely in bed by 6.This could be one hell of an adjustment.

Not with a bang, but a whimper.Classes ended on Tuesday, and I found myself unexpectedly sad by that fact. I didn't really enjoy going to class, but I'm going to miss them. Probably because now I have to look at working, and getting on with my life. Real life is scary, and my academic refuge from reality has lapsed in its ability to protect me.

We wound up going to the 10:10 showing because Srol didn't get off work until 9:30 or so, and we were in the theatre until after all the buses except the 95 stopped running.

It's all pending review by the engineers for technical accuracy, and there's a section I need to discuss with them (and I can't write it until I do so), but otherwise I have a good chunk of my part of this project finished.I figured my partner and I would set up a layout and whatnot together, seeing how it's a pain to send information back and

A picture of me, in full Glasses and Beard Brigade regalia. Which is, to say, glasses and a beard. Shocking.Added a new "about me" blurb, and I think it's true.

Not only will this help me sort it out, but you'll get a fascinating look into my life.

Turns out my copy of Oblivion wasn't defective, there was just another program messing up the install. People kept messaging me while I was installing, and I guess Oblivion didn't like that much. I shut down Trillian and tried one last installation, and it went off without a hitch (aside from a mysterious CRC error when installing the credits, but how often do I look at the credits for anything?)

I bought The Elder scrolls 4: Oblivion today. I've been looking forward to this game for a while now, ever since I heard about it pretty much. I've been quiet about it, because I didn't want to overhype it. So, I bought it today. I was over at Steve's and Cid and I took a walk down to Merivale in search of a power cable with an L-shaped plug. That's a whole other story, and isn't important right

I tried out the trimmer today. After the first use, I was a bit uneven, so I went back for a second attempt.The directions say to set the head to how long you want the hair (from 5/8 to 1/8 of an inch), and to only go in the direction the hair grows. I tried that, and it left everything a bit too long and still a bit shaggy. Even at the shortest setting it looked too long, and I know it was

I bought a beard trimmer.Ordinarily I'd have a bunch of pictures of it, but I didn't feel like taking any. It's a Conair rechargeable something or other, with a bunch of attachments that will let me trim this bushy thing on my face into something I can be proud to walk around with.Well, it's not that bad. It's just getting a little shaggy, and there's no way I'm going to the barber every time I

Why didn't anybody tell me I used the wrong brackets in my last post? It spent 5 days showing that I can't tell the difference between HTML and UBB code, and at the same time making me look like an idiot. Oh well.In strike news, there is no news. The days continue on as they have been.In Roll Up the Rim news, there's also no news. I haven't bothered going out for coffee in the past few days,

Ontario's college teachers are on strike. Thus, I have an extended break, which I've spent mostly sleeping and playing video games, and not blogging. As you might have noticed.Anyway, in the past week I've completed editing a technical report, reinstalled Diablo 2, and finished capturing all the necromancer and ranger elite skills in Guild Wars. Next up, warrior and monk, followed (eventually) by

I am now finished all but 1 section. My previous command to kill me has been lifted.Turns out two of the appendices I was editing had almost nothign to correct in them, so I dodged a bullet there.The section that's left is one I actually gave up on earlier, so tomorrow is going to be a fun day.

I'm knee deep in the technical report I have to edit. I have 2 of my sections completely done and am almost done a third. Sounds good, right?Kill me.Every line needs revision, every time a word could be wrong, it is wrong. Every awkward construction you can imagine is there. Every time something has to be changed, it makes everything else have to change.If the engineering group who wrote it is

I'm alive.How many recent posts have started with a variation of that line? Too many, and almost all of them are followed by a pledge to write more posts here. I'm not going to do that this time, because it's not much fun repeating myself. It's getting to the end of Reading Week now (so much free time, and it's been spent running stupid errands and editing a technical report), and I haven't done

The mini manual is due on Thursday. I've started taking some screenshots, and had planned to start writing a few of the procedures. Instead I'm watching South Park and not writing anything.I had planned to start writing stuff tonight so I could take a large part of tomorrow to play Twilight, but now I'm not sure I'll be able to. I suppose I could, but that'll only give me 2 days to write the

My morning class today got cancelled, so I got to sleep til almost noon. It was great. It was like my weekend came a day early but I can't start doing anything because I have to go learn about FrameMaker at 3 o'clock. Hm, there's supposed to be a test coming up in that class, but I don't know if it's this week or next week.Oh well, FrameMaker isn't that hard to use. It's confusing to learn, but

Another week, another blog post. I really should get more diligent about this thing.Anyway, my birthday is on Saturday. Hooray. I'm turning 25, so I'll be a full quarter century old. I'm sure some people will scoff at that number, but it's a big deal to me. Kinda. Well, not really.It seems like it should be a major event, but really I just can't get excited about it.

I have to revamp my resume and give it to the course coordinator so he can send it off to companies for my work placement. I was originally just going to tack on my new technical writing experience and education, but then I noticed that my summary of qualifications has a few different styles of listing information. Some lines have numbers, others don't, and it looks kinda bad.So, I'm

The other night I tried a President's Choice Chicago-style pizza. There was more to the name, but I forget what it was now. Regardless, it claimed to be a 2 pound deep dish pizza, and I bought one because the store didn't have any of the kind I usually get, and it was on sale. I got the pepperoni and sausage flavour.When I opened it, there was an obvious misallocation of toppings. All the sauce

Wow, what happened to my ambition? I honestly didn't realize that I wasn't writing anything here, and although I'm not sure how many people I've now permanently alienated, I'm back. And there was much rejoicing.A lot's happened over the past little while, most of it completely unimportant. There was a preview of Guild Wars: Factions, the upcoming expansion, and this one was to test the new

Tomorrow is my day off. No classes on Friday (woohoo), and I had planned a nice leisurely day of slacking and playing video games.Turns out I have to go to school instead. Our major project for this semester is to write documentation for some mechanical engineering projects, and the only time that was good for both groups of students to meet was tomorrow.We're meeting to talk about the project,

My Xbox Live account renewed itself. I didn't have the time or will to wade through Microsoft's voice menu system, so I just let them ding me another $100.So, I'm going to possibly use it. I need some suggestions for games, though.First off, I can't play first-person shooters on a console. I simply can't use a controller to play them, it's physically impossible for me.

Do I have a "Spray disgusting road slush on me" sign on my back? Cause it seems that way.I was coming home from an appointment at the Rehab Centre, and I wound up getting off a stop early on Fisher. No big deal, because the two stops are the same distance from my building's door. I don't know why, but I prefer getting off at the one closer to Baseline.Anyway, I got off the bus and started walking

I played Twilight Imperium last night, and after several weeks of complaining about getting war races (which I'm not aggressive enough to play properly), I finally get the Yssaril, the political and action card race. Possibly my all-time favourite race to play.And I proceed to have the worst game I've ever played.I don't want to reveal the details, but everybody figured out my secret objective (

My Xbox Live account renews on Tuesday. I've used it twice, maybe, since I paid for it, so it's a giant waste of money to me. Thus, I tried to cancel it. Not the word "tried" there.I got signed in, had my account info loaded up, and hit the Subscriptions tab. I assume that's where one would go to cancel a subscription, since that option isn't anywhere else. Anyway, the screen changes, and the

If you're driving along and you see a group of people around a bus stop, and a bunch of road slush in the middle of the bus lane, do you:a) stay in your lane and keep driving?b) aim for the slush pile and gun it?If you answered b) and were driving down Baseline Road, just past the McDonalds at College Square, at around 5:05 tonight, I'm going to kick your ass.

I got up slightly late for my class, but still made it on time. 45 minutes later I was waiting for a bus home.Why'd I even bother going? We didn't do anything, and the class was just an introductory thing anyway. I should have known better, but I can't change that now.Wednesdays are going to suck this semester, I can already feel it.my punner was still broken for last night's Rise of Nations game

I went back to school today. Nothing much happened, we just talked about what we'd be doing in some classes and then got to go home early because our second class is being covered in Thursday's class. Or something. I didn't pay much attention to the reason, I just wanted to go home.Even though it was an easy day, I still managed to be late for it. When class is at 11, getting up at quarter past

Okay, I finally managed to drag myself away from games and installing and tweaking, and can now run down everything I've done in the past few days.Christmas was the standard affair, my dad's side on Christmas Eve, my mom's side the next day.

Turns out there's a link on the main Guild Wars site that allows one to download the game. I already have an account, so it was all I needed. I have to visit every area of the world to download it, but it's not too long to wait.I have all the graphics options cranked to full, and the game has only lagged once. That's in a lot of hours of gameplay, only once. And it was in an area where it always

Hello to all my readers in the Ottawa area. I know most of you used to play Guild Wars, and I know a few of you still do.I need to borrow your installation CDs. Mine got scratched somehow, and I decided beforehand that it would be the first game I played on the new computer.The decision was made because it's probably the prettiest game I own, not to mention the newest.

Complaining about you all might ruin it, so I'll keep it to myself unless something later annoys me.I'm currently waiting for my brother to get home so we can go pick up my Christmas present.

Lots of gaming, that's what's going on!In order, Twilight Imperium, Munchkin, and Guild Wars. All over the span of a few days, and I've managed to not win at anything in weeks.

My promise to start blogging regularly again hasn't been forgotten, it just needs a little jump start.A bit earlier in the year, I talked to the Disabilities people to see if they could pay for speech therapy.

OC Transpo has settled its labour action. The union was threatening to strike starting tomorrow if they didn't reach an agreement today, and they reached one. This a huge relief to me because I depend on the bus to get to and from school, and I really wasn't looking forward to walking an hour each way if the deal wasn't reached. I can't afford to take cabs, so the old feet would have been my only

I went out and bagged me a content specification template. The only assignment I had that had a concrete dealine attached to it, and it's now a trophy hanging on my wall. Or a file on my hard drive, but that sort of destroys the hunting metaphor I was running with there.Anyway, that just leaves the proposal and the research paper, and I'm going to start one of them after grocery shopping.

Next week is the big one. Everything is due, and very little of it has been started. I'm just trying to settle into a comfortable zone, and then all I'll have to do is sit back and wait for the words to start flowing.It will happen. It has to happen.Going bowling tomorrow evening. I haven't bowled in a while, so it'll definitely be interesting. I'm predicting at least 3 perfect games, maybe 4 if

Some people should not be allowed to create professionally.Three seconds of proofreading, people. Even Word's grammar check would have caught that.

I'm trying to write a proposal. It's for an assignment, and I have to present it on Wednesday. I don't have to hand in the actual written proposal until the end of the semester, but I have enough due then that I pretty much have to finish it so I don't get overwhelmed. I already have a content specification, 2 usability assignments, an HTML assignment, and a research paper due next week, and I

I give my presentation in an hour and a half. Fortunately there was an opening today (we're starting proposal presentations in the other class, and because the same person teaches both we're allowed to present what we what when we want), so I'm slotted in. I'm not sure when it'll start, but sometime bewteen 2 and 4. Think good thoughts for me.In addition, my tutorial is due today. Finally. That's

Figures.After all the time I spent stressing over and working on this presentation, it just somehow seems right that on the day I present it I sleep in and miss the class.Now I know how Kev feels.

Yup, I'm still alive. Busy, but managing. A couple deadlines got moved so all i have tomorrow is the presentation, but I'll probably finish up the tutorial anyway.I printed the presentation handouts today at the Publishing Centre. 20 copies, double-sided full colour, wound up costing me $34, a number that confused and infuriated me. They were supposed to be 99 cents a page, so where did the other

My plan was to take this entire weekend and devote it to nothing but getting my research presentation planned and written. After almost all of today, I have an outline. Nothing else.I can't get motivated to do anything with it, and I'm presenting it on Thursday. I have to have a presentation (at least 15 minutes) and a presentation aid (a paper that summarizes my presentation for the audience to

I'm supposed to be going over to Steve's to play some Twilight Imperium, but so far I have no idea what's going on. He was supposed to be getting off work at 2, and here it is an hour later and he's not home yet. So, I wait.We played on Sunday, but the game got cut short because people had to leave. I suggested we try again today when nobody would have anything to do the next day, and now

I have 3 large assignments due next week, including a fairly major research paper. I ahven't done any research whatsoever, but the other assignments are mostly done. It should be clear sailing to get the research started and some information compiled.Instead I played Guild Wars for 4 hours and then stayed up til 5. I started a new character (a mesmer/elementalist) and I have plans to build up a

Just testing to see if the posting issue has been cleared up yet. Thanks to Kirkey and Kevin for filling me in on the finer points of Firefox usage, and that middle clicking to open a page in a new tab is the most logical thing in the universe. Well, I'm unfairly exaggerating that, but it still makes no sense to me.If there was an option to change the default behaviour, I wouldn't be so hung up

When I tell you to open new indows in a new tab, I don't mean open a new browswer with a single tab in it. I mean open a new tab in the current browser. that's what tabbed browsing is. Opening a new window destroys the entire purpose of tabs.And no mouse gestures. I hate this browser.

Taking people's suggestions, I've installed Firefox. I told it to import my bookmarks and it didn't, so already we're off on the wrong foot. It did fill my toolbar with Opera links I've never even looked at, so I don't know if that was supposed to happen or not. So far I'm less than impressed. Looks like a long night of typing in addresses and then bookmarking them, but that'll have to wait until

MSN hasn't been working all day. I can't connect with Trillian, can't connect with MSN. I looked the problem up on the Trillian message board, and apparently it's happened to people in the past, and starts working again before too long. Still annoying though.Mat called me earlier asking if I'd be up for a poker game. Naturally I said yes, and he said he'd find more people to play and then call me

I added a new blog to the sidebar. Ads That Suck is a very good analysis of commercials that, well, suck. It's a funny and insightful read, and the author is an advertising guy so he knows what he's talking about.I have nothing else to say right now.

I finally got the assignment done and printed on both sides of the page, and as soona s I stapled it all together I had a major problem. Somehow the stapler pushed ut two staples, and one get stuck beneath the other on one side, but not on the other. The result was one staple through the pages, with another one under part of it but still lodged in the stapler.My papers were attached quite firmly

I've hit a roadblock in my project plan. I can't decide if I want to include the time estimating stuff or not. Both options seem equally good. One's easier, but the other is more complete, and my perfectionism is battling my laziness for control over my academic career.In other news, I jumped 2 places in the hockey pool last night, from 4th to 6th. I'm predicting more good stuff tonight, and

I'm currently writing a project plan template for my document planning and management course. We're supposed to follow along with what we did for the information plan, but adapt the content into a project plan. The textbook has a 60 page block of information about project plans, most of which is completely useless. The textbook for another course has a 13 page section on the same topic, and I

I'm considering competing in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) this November. The challenege is to write a 50000 word novel in a month. There's no prize besides the sense of accomplishment, and you get your own book out of the deal. That's tough to beat.Well, it's actually really easy to beat, but that's beside the point.The website has a whole bunch of reasons to participate, and they all

I beat Pandora Tomorrow earlier. Only took me a few more tries to finally get the stupid terrorists and have enough time to grab the virus. Hooray and so on.I started Chaos Theory, and I'm already on the 4th mission.

I got all my assignments finished and handed in, and all that's left is tomorrow's test. There was no website evaluation this week because apparently only 6 people did the last one, and the prof doesn't want to burden us with more than we already have to do. Especially not with useless crap like those website analyses were.I tried a maple-flavoured hot chocolate today, after attempting to get

The technical description is done. Finished. I never need to look at my tripod again.I saved it onto my network drive and I'll print it at school. There are enough pictures in it to drain my poor ink cartridge dry, and they might not look so good. The school has laser printers, so it's all good. Maybe I'll go a bit early just to make sure I get to print it before the printer runs out of paper, as

As everyone knows, the NHL is using a shootout to decide games that end in ties. What you might not know, however, is that the shootout is a ploy to stack the odds in favour of a certain few teams. It's not a specific list of teams, but rather a category of teams.Teams with European goalies are incapable of losing shootouts. So far this season, whenever a European goalie has faced a North
