Which is better? This (1), or this(2)?

"Is it wrong that I think that sounds dirty?" - Jess "It's not wrong." - Me.

Oh, ouch! A crushing blow delivered by a webcomic. An excellent webcomic, I might add.

  It's fuckin' cold. I should get some, like, gloves or something.
9000 says:
  Probably. It's about 7 degrees here. My fingers are fine.
9000 says:
  And yes, I am a cock.
Majik Sznak says:
  Good to know. Very good.
Majik Sznak says:
  Hey: it's not like you were rubbing it in my face.
Majik Sznak says:
  I wasn't imagining you dancing around from foot to foot, pointing at me, and yelling, "Ha ha! You're cold, and I'm fine!"
9000 says:
  Ok then. Ha. Ha. It's cold where you are, but not where I am. How's that.
9000 says:
  ?
Majik Sznak says:
  You cock!
9000 says:
  Woooo!
Majik Sznak says:
  COCK!

Half-Life 2 is like a great pulp novel. You just can't pull yourself away. You are not challenged mentally, but perform the requisite tasks and complete the puzzles with glee. The game looks great, and the levels are extremely well designed. While the game is very linear, it is not frustratingly so: the maps guide you where you should go, but you don't mind at all. You should go buy it.

I may not be the best programmer, but damn it: I have fun doing it.

There's a new post in my weblog, and it's not going to read itself.

Ok, let's put a moratorium on starting a Slashdot post with the word "yawn" when you disagree with someone, OK? It's fucking idiotic.

"I plan to go to Greece in late summer and after that maybe Europe. " - Some Girl

"Hey: remember how in elementary school the principal could do all these terrible things to students like yank a kid's sweats and give him a wedgie and stuff? Guys? Anybody?" -Sean

Wow! Spelling so bad that mistakes actually become different words. Forget the heinous mistake of "a lot" becoming "alot." Oh no: this guy takes it one step further and uses "allot." Amazing.

People come to me when there is an emergency at work. I fix things. It's rewarding, but I don't know if it's what I should be doing. I sort of think I should be developing new software rather than fixing existing systems. As I said, though: it's pretty rewarding. Perhaps it comes down to how much money I'm making and can make in the future...

Who's interested in a video game night? RalliSport Challenge 2, Halo, perhaps some Gauntlet or Joust. Call me at work or send me an email.

You know, it's lucky that delicious Mexican tree leaves (aka "Tortilla Chips") are in such abundant supply here at work, otherwise I'd never get my vegetables.

Excerpt from a novel I'm not writing. Jessica requested excerpts from unwritten novels. Here's mine. Written in one shot, no editing, no spell checking, no review. When I read it, I'll think, "that's pretty awful." So will you. But at least I'll know what it's about.

As always, Penny Arcade says it best.

<SNAP> It's happening again. When Halo came out, it was lauded as a masterpiece. Everyone admitted that it was long, boring, repetitive, and chunky, but they still said it was great. Doublethink at its finest. Now the reviews of Halo 2 are coming out, and they start with "Halo 2 is great!" then spend several pages talking about how it sucks because it's boring and repetitive (to the point of being confusing). Yet, 9.4/10... What the Hell is going on? Halo was O.K. Just O.K. I remember worrying that my XBox was broken because Halo and SSX Tricky (which also suffers from slowdowns) were the first games I tried. It's just lucky I tried DOA 3, or else I would have taken the damn thing back.

Let's play some Cornhole!

Quote from Slashdot: "Still, support your local cinema - buy that large tub of popcorn. Colon be damned."

If you were a delivery guy and you were at room 200, which is all the way at the end of a building which contains a single hallway, and you were looking for 202... What would you do? Would you turn around and walk two doors down or would you ask someone in 200 where room 202 is?
