It's been a while...

Well, it's been a while since I've updated. Probably because nothing much too exciting has been going on, outside work and the usual beginning of semester craziness.

I got a tile floor installed in my room/office/mad scientist lab at home. There was moisture coming up from the concrete slab which was causing the carpet to smell funny, and I'd had enough. The new floor looks and feels great, despite the room being a little louder since the carpet isn't there to absorb sound from equipment anymore. There's always a downside to everything!

Lynxie seems to like the floor too. He can slip under the wall unit much more easily now, and it's funny to watch him slip when he runs into the room too fast and tries to stop. Silly kitty!

This was also a great chance to re-do all the cabling behind my desk. It was an utter snakepit before, and now it looks pretty good! Though I'm sure in a few years, it will be a big mess again as I hastly add and remove things withoug caring so much about neatness...

Oh, and this has got to be the coolest "cracked by" screen on any pirated game in the history of the universe. (Beyond Castle Wolfenstein)

On another note, I'd like to wish EVERYONE who lives/lived in the New Orleans area a speedy recovery. It's not going to be easy, and you guys don't deserve this misery. If you haven't found it yet, this blog is written by someone keeping an ISP up on generators right in the middle of all the chaos. A fascinating, if sad and a bit scary, read.
