How odd! It was probably censored for being too awesome.

whats even more frustrating is when you restore, and then it crashes again immediately.

I think Chrome still has the most frustrating bug: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31482


I'm coding in COBOL for all sorts of junk. I'm modifying and developing CICS screens that our procurement and merchandising teams still use, as well as dozens of reports, and other data wrangling. We're slowly transitioning to newer technologies, but you can't take a 20 billion dollar business from oldschool to newschool overnight. Plus, the mainframe, as archaic as it is, just chews up transactions. It is very much designed for what we're using it for, and it shows.

Howdy, Cheetahben.

I'm pretty much always on steam. It comes naturally with being a big fan of TF2 (and now Global Agenda), among other games easily delivered through the service. I hated steam back in the day when it was an ugly hack on to HL1 based games, but with the source engine and some serious polish work, I've been really impressed.

I've been known to appreciate some shoujo myself, but most of what I enjoy crosses the border to seinen (or mahou shoujo). It takes quite a man... or a thirteen-year-old to admit openly to being a shoujo fan.

I'm currently doing some voice acting for a feature-length machinima project. I'm not entirely convinced that it will ever completely come together, but at least I've mostly done my part.

Anyway, welcome!

I was using chrome for a while, but got sick of a specific site I frequent being awful about webkit support, so I went back to firefox.

Oddly, the add-on I use most is ReloadEvery. It's very situational, but because I'm hopelessly addicted to waiting for new major announcements for various video games (and their beta programs), it comes in handy for freaking out the second a page changes when I'm expecting to contain something new and exciting to show up.

Of course! They ladies were so realistic and beautiful, the unsuspecting Asian crewmen fell in love.

Edit: Also the captain and a few others, I think.

Holodecks are for dealing with the pon farr while stuck in the delta quadrant, clearly.

Yay! I'm not a particularly good writer, but I sure love getting email from Chris!

I miss you guys!

I really liked the Doctor track.

Thanks! If anyone really wants access to the VIP section, drop me an email or something.

So I've slowly been getting more and more into digital photography over the years, and although I love my cute little camera, it is really only useful for snapshots as it gives me very little control over the photos I take and has a very small sensor, and is prone to a great deal of noise in dark lighting conditions.

So what I'm looking for is a Digital SLR or an "almost SLR" camera (a flexible all in one unit). I was hoping you folks might have some insight.

Here are the things that are important to me:

Good aperture depth / large sensor for lower light photographs
Image stabilization because my hands are far from rock-steady
The ability to have wide angle OR telephoto style shots (only possible in an all in one with a really special lens - so not a huge priority)


I'll be doing a lot of work on night shots, natural/low light shots, and some studio shots (yes, I'll drag in good lights from time to time).

Anyone have any suggestions or good sites to look at?

How about another shameless plug for my site?

I just put up a new track currently called "Chill" in the "Tracks in Progress" section on the right of the page.

My friend's house has ALWAYS had some problem with.... flushing. Not only are they crappy low-flow toilets, but there is also some major plumbing voodoo going on in that house.

This friend's mother was planning some huge shindig for family and Dartmouth friends yesterday, right? They bought like 60 pounds of meat, and hit the NH State Liquor store (yes, the one which is its own exit on the interstate - attached to a rest area) for 200 bucks worth of margarita makings.

So yesterday morning they're cleaning and doing laundry and drainage just STOPS. No flushy flushy, no sink usage... nothing. After 4 hours of roto-rooting the "shit" out of the drainage pipe, the plumber concluded that the pipe to the septic tank had been crushed (or separated) just outside the house. What a way to ruin a perfectly good party. Five or six people still showed up and hung out until the smell got to them.

Then, to top things off, I go to take a shower at my own house last night, and the shower head and the attached pipe fall out of the wall and onto my head. I managed to shut it off before too much water gushed into the wall, but I was pissed... and soapy.

Is this the start of some cursed week of plumbing disasters? What the hell!!

Aww thanks guys!
