So my wife bought me Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy a month and a half ago, for my birthday, and I'm addicted. I played tonight for a while (about an hour and a half, I think—time gets slippery when I'm in the throes of a nerd-game), and I managed to finish the [...]

Drunk I got. Remember nothing after making out with Charlene on the dance floor do I. Ashamed I should be, think I.
But not as bad as they say is waking up in a ditch. Worse, it is.
For my birthday, my darling wife bought me Lego Star Wars (the original series one) for our PC. She also bought a second joystick so we can play the game together.
I tried it out last night. I sat down to play for 20 minutes while I waited for a TV show to start.
Two [...]

Just me, wearing my new T-shirt.
My bro-in-law exposed his sons to the Original Trilogy, and ever since then they've been deeply into the Star Wars phenomenon.
I actually was at their place when they watched Star Wars (you know, A New Hope). I was away the next day, when [...]
So we watched Test the Nation last night. I did the test online, and came up with an IQ of 121. Then we did it on TV, and I ended up with 137. I think the 121 is probably more honest—some of the questions were easier the second time around, since I [...]
I have GMail. I use GMail a lot. GMail has some built-in spam filters. It's rare, in fact, that an email makes it to my inbox offering to enhance or expand my body parts, or give me 10% of the Crown Prince of Nigeria's money transfers, or anything of the like.
Every once [...]
So today I did my civic duty™ and voted in the local mayoral election. I wasn't alone, either; according to the local access channel (which is the only channel actually covering the local election, since it was also election day in the capital and around the province), there was almost a 40% voter turnout. [...]
I like finding that people who write code have a sense of humour:
This lets you specify which characters are permitted within your URLs. When someone tries to submit a URL with disallowed characters they will get a warning message.
As a security measure you are STRONGLY encouraged to restrict URLs to as few characters as possible. [...]
…if you'll permit me.
Code Igniter rocks*.
It was a geeky night for me. I watched an episode of Battlestar Galactica, then fiddled with Code Igniter for an hour that felt like ten minutes. I think I'm going to try and use CI for a website that will allow me to give friends and family [...]
So we have this little time-waster computer game that is a bit like Boggle, in that you have to create words from a clustered bunch of letters. I was playing it, and in a desperation move I spelled the word ZARF.
And it took it.
Hmmm, says I. So I ended the game and went [...]
