Well, shit. I havn't posted since my sister came and went. I'd say I've been busy but that would be stretching the truth. I did have a few lateish nights at work. And I did see Big Fish during that past week. (Man, I love a good story. I think that we can now talk about it now that Jeremy, Martin, Matt, and myself have seen it).
Lets see, my sister's visit went well and it was really good to see her. I miss her. She is a cool person. We hung out and met some friends and had some food and cooked some food and saw the grand-'rents and had a bomb scare at the airport and ate some more food and read some. All in all, a pretty good weekend. She and her baux Aaron and getting more serious. They are going to be living in sin come about September-ish.
Living in sin rules. Do it before you commit.
I have also join a Warhammer 40K beginner's league. My first game/event/get together was a week ago Sunday (8 days from current posting). The event went well and I met some nice people. There were also some fanatics and some screaming kids, but a few gems in the rough patches. I definately hung out with the older and wiser crowd and let the kids (damn kids.... get off my play table!) play on their own. All in all, it was just okay.
This past Sunday (31 hours ago) I played in the week 2 of the beginners league and had a much more enjoyable experience. I played several games (slaughtered one opponent and lost twice to another in games that were touch and go) and met more people who fit into my ven diagram of gamer (the circles being maybe of four dimensions like age, fanaticism, interest, time, etc). I also won the in store prize of 10USD store credit (of course the store made its margins still when I bought a fifty-odd dollar item). I was one of two who answered all the quiz questions correctly and of those two I won my first battle so I received the store credit. Woot. This may be a hobby that I get into. Though, hopefully I will retain my social skills and not fall into the fanatic circle.
I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but Netflix rules. You should check it out if you have not already and are hopelessly addicted to movies as I am.
Lastly, is zero a prime number? Is one a prime number? I have a pretty good grasp of the other prime numbers after those (I have the largest prime number sitting wraped in an enigma bundled up in a riddle in my trunk) but I just wanted to know the semantics of whether one and zero are prime numbers.
Oh, one more thing. I got Mac X/Darwin and OpenOffice running on my main machine so that I can process words and spreadsheets... for free. I like it. Not as robust as the current installation of Office, but very nice for my needs. Tools -> data -> sort is there which is essential. I felt hard core once again tweeking my X settings. :)
I think that is all my news.
