Hey FLT & Kel,

I had a pretty good weekend, Friday night the Boosh were awesome and then not much else to report as mostly was sleeping.

Looking forward to a decent night's sleep tonight as no longer on call so can use ear plugs and first night of football although it is raining.

I think the Ravens are making a run to the Superbowl, that d of theirs is nasty and suddenly the Bengals record is thrown into relief as the AFC Championship game is between two teams from their division. I predict an AFC champion in the superbowl, probably over the Eagles. There you go, I said it!

wish me luck, gonna see if we can afford to move this summer.

I'm formulating the PS3 switch (40 gig to 80 gig), the purchase of a dishwasher, and the parts I need for a P90 mil-sim Ion conversion. I have most of the parts and the conversion with the parts is 200 bucks less than buying one outright.

Check it out here:

Kind of a cool setup. Yeah, just what I need. Another marker.

NVG, you can never have enough memory, on my PS3 I've got loads of crap, my whole music collection, the contents of a friends iPod also, I ripped Cowboy Bebop and put that on there too, I've got Red Vs Blue, couple of movies, a whole bunch of photos... just stuff. The playstation hooks up to my tv and speakers easier than a PC would, so I use it for most of my media. Went on a bit too much there... But I heart my PS3, could talk about it all day, so shiny.

and tis ok HK, no need to defend the dews, I remembered I might want some ninja training... so best not to upset the master.

oh and about that thing you posted about video games it already exists in a game called Alone in the dark Inferno for the PS3, I have yet to use the feature but i know it does mean I believe you can play the game backwards.

However if you skip parts of the game you miss parts of the story and don't get all the trophy points or achievement points.

Just trying to make more none gamers like games, hell give me the old days of streets of rage and Mario kart when we just played games all day.

NAVYSEILS

Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:59 PM

I have to agree with what's been said about that article you posted MSA, it's not such a great idea in my eyes.

If you're making games, and there are parts that people dont want to play through, then I think there's a problem with the way you're making the game. Creating a tool to play parts of it for you isn't fixing anything. I think a good game should be able to be played start to finish without someone getting too frustrated with it. You could have a range of difficulty levels, or different factors within the game that alter to suit different skill levels, but if I pay for a game, I want to be able to play all of it, not have the computer do it for me.

Okay, everyone who enjoyed the Myst series of games raise your hand.

Hey, I was very excited when I figured out that you could pick up on cues by listening to things and clicking on EVERYTHING.

I'm also easily amused. Take knitting for example. One string, two sticks, hours of entertainment. And cussing.

Made it through the second day of three this week, and I only got out fifteen minutes late because there were two other nurses who stayed until about 7:30 to help me.

Yay teamwork. Not everything got done, mind...

I'm drinking a kir right now. Is luvverly.

I've made a pot of tea, and I'm snugged in on the couch with popcorn watching the BDS start to finish.

It takes my mind off the outside temperature, or more specifically lack thereof. We got up to 9 degrees F, showing the forecasters a full three degrees higher of what fer. Mind you that's not taking the windchill into account. Hrmph.

I think that's something like -13 centigrade for those who are unfamiliar with the above scale.

Oh my word today was a long day at work.

How are you all?

In no particular order, loved the first Myst game that I played on the old man's original iMac.

I mean to re-learn how to knit as I want to make myself a Jayne hat and then possibly jumpers, but need to teach myself and right now patterns make no sense, my other half's sister works on a knitting magazine so I don't really have an excuse.

Impressed by the PS3 stats but can't afford, or an xbox so Wii will have to do.

Just discovered that I'd underestimated my jogging routes and so just come back from my first run of the new year (know it's late but weights killed me last week and before that I was away) and after my warm up lap I ran under 7 min miles for 1.8 which I'm very happy with.

FLT: Myst and Riven, and I think one other.. the name escapes me.. are games which when they came out had the most awesomest graphics ever. They might seem a bit dated now several years after release what with Pixar and all spoiling people..

Puzzles. With a storyline. Much coolness. No shooting per se.

My fingers are cold. I'm going to wait to see when the thermostat timer switches to occupied mode. It's been at 62 all day. I'd have bumped it up to 70ish but we just got the first real power bill of the winter and it was not pretty. I'm just glad we heat with a boiler powered by natural gas and not oil anymore or electric baseboard... that would be painful.

More tea! I'm up through Our Mrs. Reynolds and I've got at least two more hours before the menfolk return!

I seek the muse, and yet she hides.

Gah,

I've spent all day getting back to where I started including rebuilding my Mac twice and reinstalling the server that I'm building, I've successfully achieved two tenths of rock all!

howdy everyone, hope you're all good.

Didn't mean to upset you Flt, promise I won't talk about running again!

I'm kinda shocked by some of these temps, I though 28 degrees F (-2 C) was cold, well it is, I came up from doing weights in my garage with feet like blocks of ice that day.

Anyway got to get on, but thought I'd say howdy.

Woo! The boosh were awesome. And I might wait untill a few hours before a show to buy all my tickets. I have never had better seats for anything. I was front and centre, if they didnt have mics on I was close enough to have heard every word anyway. It was great.

You know what... I don't know why we bother having a manager. I really don't.

As of 12/17 I was in the red for vacation time but didn't know it. Then I took two weeks off that I'd had scheduled for quite some time. Now *this* paycheck I'm almost a week short on hours worked. M*F* unbelievable that nobody pointed out that I couldn't take time I didn't have.
Not that it wasn't worth the time off unpaid, emotionally and psychologically speaking, but damn.. if you don't know you're going to come up financially short it really comes as a shock.

I burned through my vacation time from August to December so I wouldn't lose it because I'd been advised that only one week rolls over.
Payroll (who helped write the employee handbook) told me today that a full 160 hours rolls over, a whole year's 4 weeks of vacation can roll over into the next year. (They also said a few other choice words about things I had been told which were not true.)
If I'd freaking knew THAT it wouldn't have become a problem because I wouldn't have taken the damned time off in the first place!

From now on I resolve that I will not trust my manager to be competent in any way, shape, or form, and will keep careful track and record of all time taken and hours worked. This will add a good bit of irritation to my life on a regular basis, but will hopefully prevent further large and unpleasant surprises.

Why do I keep trusting people and presuming that they know what they're doing?
Mgr say: "I wish she'd send up a flag when this happens before she puts it through."
Pyrl say: "I send her a report showing all this regularly. I don't know why this keeps happening."
Mgr say: "I don't keep track of that stuff. I only keep track of floating holidays so you guys don't lose them. I keep telling you all to look at your paystubs."
..meanwhile paystub is usually still reflecting time which has not been either accrued or about to be used..

So if we're supposed to be keeping track of absolutely everything other than our two floating holidays what in the sweet belly of Buddha do we need HER for?

Maybe I'll start thinking of her as Bester just to remind myself of this.

OK your *good stuff* and my *good stuff* must be completely different.

Anyhow let me tell you about my suck ass day, had my first driving lesson in about a month which I sucked at, then tried to study for my exam but none of it is staying in so now a fear I will fail my exam.

To make matters worse my PC is playing up.

@_@ yes, Adam sweetie, we're thinking about two different things. the Good Stuff is what they termed coffee in the Peanuts comic.

ADAMSTEVENSON

what is it with coffee everyone seems to drink that crap and think that it helps them in some way.

Yeah I hear yeah red bull rocks.

I just don't see why so many people drink coffee. That is perhaps because I don't drink it.

Tea, I politely ask for tea, maybe even afternoon tea, hmmmmh, scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream.

What a damn day! I know there are things I should've done at the weekend but ignoring till Monday. Going to see the Spirit tonight, finally! Going to the late showing with other half, like when we were first dating.

The off to see my sis in Brum tomorrow, good weekend.

Oh, and Navy, glad you enjoyed the Boosh as well sir, I saw them last Friday and was also sat close to the front (sixth row) and they were amazing! :biggron:

Going to collapse after my run for a bit now and eat curry.
