Yeah these are cool, a bunch of nerd sitting around playing a game together. Either you got your FPS crowd, or RTS peoples, and then you can even have console gamers, and many more.
I could almost care less about anything but FPSes. Especially team based ones, they are the most fun for me, even if I am not exceedingly good at them, just moderate.
Here is a Lan Party I went to about 2 months ago, you could say in another two months (within that amount of time) I will have a Lan Party as well.
Kind of putting these up to make you guys think about what a Lan Party used to be and amp up for the one that will happen in the near future.
Yeah, it happened on Saturday and I am just now putting something down about it. Its been a busy week already and it shows no sign of slowing down. Yet I did get to compete in a code competition and really not do as well as I would have liked at the C++/Java portion of the challenge, my team, "The Knights of the Loop Table" (if you know code that would be funny - loops are found in code) did knock one out. It was a our first submission as well. The other teams would try and try again to submit something and get it wrong or get points deducted for having a failed submission - ours worked the first time. How do you make failing code?
Dunno, we should probably ask NASA about that.
Ohh... snap.
Still, I'm a bit heated that we only got one in and further that my skills with C++ were not enough to finish one of the programming projects that I started on (oh and we got there a bit late too).
Why is everything in the long run? Who wants a long run? Either means you gotta lot of clothes to clean or you had better have a lot of condoms... either sounds like a ... well the second would be more fun.
In the long run, I got hired to continue development on a real program. That is pretty cool and it seems like I might be making about 10 to 20 hours a week on it depending on how much time I spend or how much work we can generate for ourselves. We might even try to put the "Knights of the Loop Table" in the code somewhere so that we get to go down in infamy for something not all that bad.
Now that it is 3:30 am and I am really not at all tired (went to bed at about 6 pm or so yesterday and slept all night... yes it was amazing) I think I am going to finish that Math homework that has been drivin me nuts.
You're liberal and consider yourself to be laid back and open minded. Everyone else just thinks you're clueless. Your
friends hate you because you always email them virus warnings and chain letters "just in case it's true." All
people who drink Tazo Chai Creme are potheads.

I love this. Found out that instead of the old Cafe Mocha I've always used to get at Starbucks, I should have been ordering Tazo Chai Creme (try and see what Cafe Mocha gets you). There's a local restaurant here called Bangkok garden... and they have Chai Tea that I've always liked. Kind of a serendipity moment. Well it is pretty cool that my blog is powered by a system called Serendipity. plug By indirect observation I pick up on some of the nuances that wouldn't always be present. Seems to be an ever present facet of my life, kind of like warts but ever so much more helpful.
This blog will be ever so much more personal. It is also going to be an experiment platform for me.
After the personal intropection side of things... I will be putting stuff I make up on here, probably with the feelings I was having when I made it. This includes music and pictures. This is my diary and portfolio. Yes, I will have a professional section, but it is just going to be a specific post type. and this thing does XML RSS feeds and shit. Yah baby.
Oh I got this thing hooked up to my computer and working now. Its a Yamaha PSR-140 that I got from this asshole Steve. God damn you Steve. You might notice the drum kit below, thats a Yamaha DD-55. Just got a hold of a Creative SB Live (has digital out and a MIDI port). Could be getting the front bay that goes with it too. Currently have Cakewalk SONAR 6 Producer Edition and am learning all about MIDI and how the ins and outs work. WTF. K - so I've got a lot to learn. I hear that Ableton allows for a little easier control system, but all the same, I am probably going to go through all of them until I find what works for me. Then I wanna get a hold of an amplifier and some studio speakers. Thats way down the road once I'm done teaching myself the piano. HHaahaa yeah! Seriously, I've almost taught myself "When the Saints" - so yes, most of what I can play right now would make you want to wrap the extension cord around my neck and choke me... but I am learning the keys and how to recognize where the note is so I get notation that much better.
GOD damn, listening to a Paolo Mojo album - "Balance 009 - Disc 2" and it got dope after about 25 minutes and just keeps going better. OMFG - he puts in Delight (I just wanna hear a good beeaat) in there. Seriously. I haven't heard this mix or even this track in quite some time.
Listen to: Balance 009 Mixed By Paolo Mojo - CD1 - 2006
