PSA: Battlefield Ressurect
So, I have once again been given the authority to reanimate dead tissue with galvanic energy. Some things to keep in mind about being the subject of the battlefield ressurrect: Survival rate of CPR lasting 5 minutes 3-8% Survival rate of CPR aided with defibrillator: 75-90% If you want to get the electrical shocks from the defibrillator, I suggest you avoid having metal attached to your body anywhere on your torso. (draw a line from your right armpit to your left side just below the ribs. metal anywhere near there = bad burns) If you do not want the CPR, please have a DNR order on your person. These must be signed, sealed & recorded every year. My instructor had a patients son produce 6 expired orders before he found the current one. | | Thursday, April 2nd, 2009 | | 6:28 pm |
Housewarming schedule change
Due to mimsy having class 4/11, the openhouse will start around 5pm. I'll be around if you want to come early & hang out, but the barbeque will happen around dinnertime. openhouse may continue until about 9-10PM. we'll see what happens. | | Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 | | 5:40 pm |

Bleah
Mimsy, along with 10% of her co-workers, was laid off this week. We'll be ok to deal, but its not happy news. More when I have a chance to deal. | | Monday, November 17th, 2008 | | 10:56 pm |
Because I'm crazy
Baltanok the Explorer, 71 Dwarven Hunter 200 deaths, about 12 hours running from hordes of undead, waiting to be rezzed after not running fast enough, jumping off cliffs with nothing but a parachute cloak on, and hugging penguins. I am a happy hunter. | | Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 | | 8:35 pm |
concession speech
If McCain had ran the campaign that his concession speech belonged to, I would have had a harder decision. He spoke out of love of country, but did not turn his eyes from our past failings. And I'd like to give a shout-out for the reference to TR. Perhaps my fellow Bull Moose Republicans will have a voice in the future of the party, and that can only improve our country. | | Sunday, September 28th, 2008 | | 10:26 pm |
WoW authenticator
Has one. Is very nice. Basically, Blizzard is selling those dongle thingys that give you a time-based additional password to add security. Seems kinda silly to go to that extreme for a video game, but it would not surprise me to see it go standard in a year or two. Nit pick: Having a "this side up" would be nice. First time I screwed up my dongle-password by typing the upside-down version of the password in. Or maybe I was too slow & it rolled over the minute or something. | | 10:21 pm |
The Kitchen will be saved by Steam!
The steaming of the kitchen has concluded. The shelves are painted. Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance. next, we start putting our kitchen stuff on shelves instead of boxes. And if Lowes ever gets around to calling about installing that microwave, we'll be able to reheat food! (Lowes is getting coal in its stocking this year from me, that's all I'm saying) | | Monday, September 15th, 2008 | | 6:51 pm |
I *am too* prepared!
Preordered Wrath of the Lich King, for those of you who WoW. Collectors edition, because my lovely wife deserves an art book. Gamestop says they'll deliver on street-release day. We'll see. | | Thursday, September 11th, 2008 | | 5:55 pm |

Steam!
wallpaper = bad steam = good wallpaper not on kitchen shelves any more = very good. next time, painting. | | 2:02 pm |

Tales from the Godslayer Tavern
So, a campaign world Mimsy & I have been playing with deals with the concept of gods being killable, in an epic quest sort of way. This is a reaction to the Forgotten Realms campaign where the gods run around mucking with people with near impunity. Sure, the Time of Troubles killed off a few of them, but the rest haven't actually learned their lesson. ( cut for your convenience ) | | Thursday, July 31st, 2008 | | 5:44 pm |

moving stuff
The house has DSL! And even more boxes... Next week, the movers take our furniture, and the big empty house will be not-empty. Left to do: Get fridge, chairs, and change all address type things. Kinda scary, but we're getting near done. | | Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 | | 9:38 pm |
House!
We have keys! a great big empty house that needs all sorts of things to put in it! Maybe now I can finally start getting everything out of the boxes that they've been in for the past however long... (although I did manage to throw a box away today... one I wont have to move...) | | Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 | | 6:38 pm |
Crime in the digital age
So, most of you know that I play world of warcraft. Sometime saturday evening (5pm-11pm), someone broke into my account & stole a bunch of stuff. I suspect that I got some sort of keylogger that grabbed my password. So, warcraft & websurfing are now different computers... Blizzard, the Warcraft company, has a kick-butt customer service team, and have already restored the stolen stuff to my account. Sometimes I really wonder about the sorts of people who would steal these sorts of things. Using some of the spam that I get in-game to set a gold/dollar exchange rate, the theft netted street value around $100. (mostly in trade goods, not cash) It got returned within 3 days. I just can't see how this business model works. Greedy person A spends $20 to get 1000 gold 3 days later, they get the gold taken away, and have their account suspended, possibly deleted, losing even more money in subscription fees. Yeah, that will bring in lots of repeat business. The power-levelling services at least make sense from the point of view of someone who doesn't want to play anything other than the end-game, but thinks they are good enough that they don't need to learn how to play before getting involved in the end-game. For those of you who read "halting state," I am not amused by the parallels: Accountant with sword fighting skills gets involved in theft in a popular MMORPG. OK, I haven't been asked to investigate the theft, but still. If I end up involved in the plot complications that befell the heroine, I'm finding Charlie Stross, and demanding half the book royalties. Or getting him to pick stocks for me, depending. ( what they took, and I got back )( what they missed ) | | Friday, April 25th, 2008 | | 9:29 pm |
house news
ok, the seller dodged our offer. Since then, we have seen a wide variety of badly remodeled houses, none of which we want to own. The most recent example could not have been staged worse without committing several health violations. Another example of crazy sellers. One party wants to sell, one party doesn't. What fun. Add to that: mildew, original paint, 20 year old carpet, cigarette smoke, and apparently a perfume bottle dumped on the floor to cover something up. Mimsy, who has an actual working sense of smell, had to leave the house & go get some air more than once. This house will make a contractor very happy someday. I will not be employing that contractor, and wish him the best of luck. |
