Spammy goodness comments.

Date February 29, 2004

I had a couple more spam comments appear on my blog recently. Frankly, I wonder where they come from. It’s sort of strange that they appear in the first place, and my only guess is that people have bots crawling the Net looking for blogs that run certain types of software with comments [...]

Back in Portland and back to work.

Date February 25, 2004

Well my weekend was fantastic, and I’m sorry I didn’t get a post up before now. I couldn’t over thr weekend because I was out of town without Internet access, and then Sunday night I was to tired to do one. Well, I’ll to all that in a bit.
I did get some sleep [...]

Ramblings at 5 AM. UG!

Date February 19, 2004

Well here it is, 4:22 AM and I can’t sleep a wink. I have no idea why, either. I kept yawning while I was in bed trying to sleep, but no matter how long I lay there I just couldn’t make myself fall asleep. And isn’t that the real bear? The [...]

Another week, blah blah.

Date February 17, 2004

Blah, my silly website decided that it didn’t want to work for the last day or so and I didn’t realize it. Well, the site itself was up, but any administrative abilities I had (as well as any other people’s abilities to view old entries, search the site, etc) vanished up in smoke after [...]

Secrets from the Vatican and Italian food.

Read The DaVinci Code. That’s pretty much all I have to say.
I’ve known about some of the content of the novel for a bit, and there’s a lot in it I’m not willing to take on (if you’ll pardon the pun) faith alone based on a single work of non-fiction apparently stemming from academic [...]

Politics, beer, and pizza. Wait, that actually sounds pretty good.

I’ve been watching Black Hawk Down tonight, and it was remarkably well-timed with my completion of the book about the Rwandan genocide. The situation in Somalia wasn’t a genocide, though by the time the US got involved more than 300,000 people had starved to death in a horrible famine that was a by-product of [...]

Still in the real world.

Date February 12, 2004

Man, I had something I wanted to write about that I thought of last night, but the topic eludes me for the time being. Maybe it’ll come to me eventually.
My day sans Star Wars Galaxies went quite well. I finished my book about the Rwandan genocide with the least possible amount of fanfare [...]

Alive and kicking…barely, it seems.

Date February 11, 2004

OK, so here’s the scoop: I feel like my game has practically taken over my life. Honestly. Not having a job to go to every day at another location than my home means I have a lot of free time to spend at home. A lot of free time and an addictive [...]

I do care about writing….

Date February 3, 2004

Now remember, just because I don’t write doesn’t mean I don’t care. In this case, I was sans Internet access for a period, so writing was impossible.
Last week was pretty standard for my weeks lately, full of liquids (Coke, water, beer with my sister) and games (still chugging away on Star Wars Galaxies) with [...]
