LOTD: Launchcast
This site’s here because it was done for a while, and I’d almost assumed for good, but has been back now for some length of time I guess. I dig this site because I have my own ‘radio station’ and they are actually quite good at playing just what I like. There’s a link to the left to listen to my station specificly. (Now, if they’d just have more good electronic music it would have the full range of stuff I like).

So I saw the Final Fantasy movie last night.
While I wasn’t sure what I thought of it at first, after a bit of thought I’ve decided that I really did like it. I thought the movie definitely rocked for the kind of movie it was. The animation was stunning. I definitely knew I was watching something animated the whole time. I don’t think we’re at the point yet where we can have animated actors take the roles of real people, but it was still amazing. The level of detail in the animation was stunning, I can’t even imagine how long it took them to do all that work. The one area I felt it was lacking is something I’m not sure if I can describe well. I felt that the voice actors and the animation didn’t always quite fit with each other. It was like the levels of expression weren’t quite the same.

Anyways, I definitely recommend this movie. (Though I have a feeling it’s the kind of movie that won’t necessarily have a wide appeal to people.)

There are too many things in my life that beep, chirp, whatever. This morning in the space of about 5 minutes, the on-call pager went off, I got a page on my phone, and my alarm clock went off, followed by another page on the pager. I almost threw it out the window. I hate the sounds these things make. I think I’m going to put as many things on vibrate as I can.

LOTD: newsblogger
For those folks who are want to keep updated on the news, or who want to have a way to send news posts to their blog (works specificly with blogger). It’s pretty slick I must say.

On the nethack note. Literally 15 minutes after posting the message this morning I died. I’m sure my posting about it caused it. I had one of those great nethack deaths though. I stepped on a square, got polymorphed into a paper golem, grabbed by an eel, was dragged underwater, and drowned in the space of about 3 turns. Bah.

POCK!
Well, I haven’t died stupidly (yet) in my lastest game of nethack. But I’m quite psyched because I think it is so far the best game of nethack I’ve played in the FOURTEEN years I’ve played this game. I’m already up to 22nd level and have completed the first quest. (god I’m such a geek).

LOTD for today: Headline Haikus
A little bit of silly for your Tuesday (It is Tuesday isn’t it?)

No real news today. I’m all groggy for some reason. I think I need a serious vacation. I’m considering taking a week off at the end of the month to just get out of MA and RELAX. A roadtrip around the northeast is sounding about my speed. Hopefully I’ll get to stop in and visit friends I haven’t seen in ages.

So I’m working on making my blog show 7 days worth of posts. I’d thought it was set to that and discovered that it was actually set to only show the last 5 posts. I may end up tweaking it a bit. I have a feeling that seven days may be a bit two long and that five days may end up being much better.

I finished the first part of my redesign of the help desk system I’m writing. I’m about to put it into beta at work. So far it at least looks much nicer then the old one.

So I woke up early this morning and found I’d gone to sleep leaving the TV on. But to my suprise, there was a Clifford (The Big Red Dog!) cartoon on! Wow, talk about memories from my childhood. The Clifford books were some of the first I ever read. I always thought they ruled. And, I just think it’s pretty damn cool that there’s a cartoon of it.

Watching TV with no sound is kind of interesting. I muted my TV about an hour ago when I got a phone call and never got around to turning the volume on again. I’m watching some weird thing on the SciFi channel. I think it’s some short movie. It’s got this odd fuzzy alien thing and it looks REALLY weird. Now some guys in suits are running around shooting everyone.

I’m going to post tomorrow’s LOTD tonight, because I was given this URL today and don’t want to forget it. It’s a Personality Disorder Test. The URL is http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv. My results were:

Paranoid: Low
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: Moderate
Borderline: Low
Histronic: Low
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: Low
Dependant: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

Interesting to say the least.
I think on that note I’ll head to bed now.

LOTW(Weekend): The Official Nethack Web Site
So why did I choose this site? Because I’ve been playing much too much nethack lately. Maybe someday soon I’ll actually finish the game, but I doubt it.
