Goddamn new DST rules are fucking my servers up.

Dang, that's right. 90-degree weather AND I have to get up an hour earlier Monday AND reset a bunch of computers all over the place.

In the past, this has been my favourite day of the year. But now I have a job where I get out early and get in early. I hate driving to work in the dark. I hope the extra daylight hours at night make up for it.

And more great news, I just agreed to work at my old job over my spring break. I guess I'll have to wait till August to have an actual week off. Just like regular people.

Wow. Kinda quiet today, huh?

No kidding...I figured everybody was out of it from DST.

How's that been for you guys?

Just realised it's gonna mess up GMT to EST/CST etc conversions, since we've stuck with the regular switch time.

It's 2:25am, EST. Except it feels like it's 11pm. Which has nothing to do with DST, my sleep cycle is just frakked up and DST is not helping.

Last year I had a great idea for a flash game. Basically you would play Angelina Jolie voyaging around the world Tomb-Raider style to collect babies from every country in the world (you'd have a little map), stowing them in a backpack along the way. After a while they'd start putting up a fight and you'd have to use the ones you'd already gotten to subdue it (like Pokemon).

If you had an indeterminate amount of time left to live, what would you change in your life?
I find the "indeterminate" part very important. If you only had a few days, certainly you wouldn't go to work and you would run up every amount of credit you have. But knowing that you might possibly live to a ripe old age, you probably wouldn't quit your job or run up your credit.

I find myself doing the same stuff I was before, except I quit smoking.

But you know, saying that you might die at any second is pretty much the same for a healthy person. Anyone could die on any given day, I suppose.

I would start smoking again. I miss smoking, still... 4 years later.

I tend to concur. However, upon reflection, my inner Hobbit finds something good about both time changes. In the fall, I get an extra hour of sleep. In the spring, I can start dinner one hour sooner.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the bright side of life...

Which is more pathetic: eating a whole bag of chocolate chips by yourself, or baking chocolate chip cookies and eating the whole batch by yourself?

Yes.

But on the other hand I'd love doing either one myself. 'Specially with some peanut butter to spread on em' and a large glass of milk.

Wow. Has it been that long? I remember when you started. Err...quit. Started to quit.
Well, kudos, man. That's a looooong time.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #1770 on:** March 12, 2007, 05:31:36 PM »

I still smoke in my dreams sometimes too, and I quit smoking 7 years ago this May.

I sat down today to write a disclaimer and basically get around to coding my new site (www.screamingbrain.net) and I realized that my skillz are horrifically out of date. I originally learned HTML from reading the source of other pages back in the nineties and I haven't learned much since. I dislike what I've read about XHTML because it seems to basically be really a strict and picky version of my beloved and tolerant HTML, and I'm a bit intimidated by it. Still, the disclaimer seems alright at least:

Any and all information (text, images, executables and otherwise) is for informational purposes only, and I am in no way liable if you decide to be an idiot and follow instructions that could get you arrested/beaten/kicked out of the bowling alleys. Anything illegal/immoral/disgusting/that could get me in trouble if you were to rat me out on this site is of course complete fiction and should never be attempted by a real life person such as yourself.

Any audio and/or video recordings you may find on this site were of course fabricated entirely myself and my friends (regardless of how convincing they may appear) in the case that such recordings are illegal where you or I live. If you are a Con dupe of any sort (cop, rent-a-cop, security professional, private investigator, government employee, trailer park superviser, ect.) by entering this site you certify that you are doing so in a strictly unprofessional capacity and are not trying to get me into any sort of trouble whatsoever.

Any seemingly copyrighted material you may come across on this site is but an illusion, much like the very concept of copyright itself. Ignore this: fnord, and death to the Illuminati.

I find myself pacing around sometimes, kinda hungry, kinda not, kinda ... unfulfilled.

That's when I really want a cigarette.

Or a twinkie.

ivan · « **Reply #1773 on:** March 13, 2007, 04:01:20 PM »

Can't smoke a twinkie.
