It’s Cooooooooold out there
Well, it seems the cold weather has finally come. I’ve actually wanted and needed my coat the last couple days outside. It’s refreshing for someone like me who misses the cold weather. We’ve been building more fires lately too, not that they’ve been really impressive yet (except the one I did on Tuesday while we were trimming the tree, that one was pretty good). At the very least they’ve been better than the ones I did on Halloween and before.

ARGH
Too frustrated to explain my rage, just accept the fact that my heart is racing in anger and I’m holding my tongue so tightly it feels that it may bleed!

Turkey Day has Come and Gone
Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone and all in all I had a good one. We took the dog and headed up to My Grandparents’ house in West Memphis AR. For the first time since Heather and I have been going to Thanksgiving there,
Heather got a hotel room so we wouldn’t have to sleep on the living room floor. Actually, the two of us,
my brother and
his wife all shared a room (with the dog).

Windows XP
All in all, I really prefer Windows XP to all the operating systems I’ve ever used, but I have run up against one very frustrating question. How do you install software in one user profile so that it is accessable and freely useable by all users? If you can answer this question, I owe you a big hug.

mmmmmmm, Coffee
Well, I picked up the d20 Modern book yesterday. I had looked at it at the store and mused about it a long time.
Derek is supposed to be starting a game for d20 Modern that I’m very excited to play (it was originally going to be Spycraft, but he prefered d20 Modern, I tend to agree now). I don’t know exactly what the set up is going to be, I know Derek used to be planning a game based on the town where we live, but he used that for a different group, so there’s no telling what this new game is going to be based around. I know he toyed around with a Dallas game, but I don’t know what he decided on. I hope I hear from him so I can get started on a character!

Just a Note to myself
The track that was playing when I wrote this was a really cool remake, wanted to remember it for my own edification.

LAN!
Well, I hosted an unofficial LAN party this weekend. What’s the difference between an “official” LAN party and an unofficial one? Well, we had other plans originally for Sunday, we were going to have a Bebop game, but then at the last minute, events transpired that prompted me to cancel the Bebop game and instead have a short notice LAN party-Light. There was very little planning, very little notice, just 4 people and some UT2003. Unfortunately, one person’s computer blew up (not literally, but really the only think worse than what it did would be to catch fire and start launching shrapnel at the group of us), and one person completely forgot about it until we called him too late to actually get in on the action (though he did still come over, he just didn’t bring his computer). It was, however, a good test of the home network, not only were we able to get all the computers communicating with eachother, but also we got them all on the internet. It was pretty sweet until the Internet UT2003 game I created booted the two remaining players out for having illegal CD keys (I have no idea how that could have happened).

Who reads these things anyway?
Well, I took the day off work yesterday to play EQOA. Unfortunately my broadband provider was down most of the day. I don’t know if I’m doing well, but I got up to level 7 with all my intermittent efforts. That sounds good to me, but it probably isn’t in the long run.

Everquest Update
I finally got to play, it’s big and empty right now, and I’m still learning the controlls and commands (still don’t know how to wave). It looks like it has potential, at least when the servers are stable.
Anyway, it’s late and I may get back oh, but I’m not sure, can’t seem to find any orcs at all…

EverWait online Beta
So it took me 5 minutes to get the Network adapter set up (significantly shorter than expected, but that’s because I still had the network settings from the beta I was on for the actual network adapter), it took another 15 to get all the EverQuest systems set up, and then, when I’m finally thinking I’m going to sit down and make a character and get elbows deep into this…
…the server is down for maintenance. I’ll let you know what happens next.
