GenCon
I have spent more time playing games at this GenCon than any other. My picture taking is waaaay behind. I am getting some video though. 5 hours of gaming a day takes a big chunk out of the time to stroll the exhibition floor. I played to Pathfinder Society events, they were quite good. The groups Seth and I played with were a lot of fun. I now have two first level Pathfinder Society characters, adopted from the pregenerated pile. I've been poking around with my Pathfinder account, getting them set up.
Tonight I'm meeting a few classmates from high school, and there is the Star Wars dance party at the Ugly Monkey. OR possibly finding the 4th Ed dungeon delve or Tower of Gygax game to play. I've got a new GenCon pastime, its called finding Hazelwood. I've already found Waldo and have video to prove it.

GenCon, Day 1
I don't have any specific purchase items, other than Gaming Paper and Campaign Cartographer. And I have no specific events tagged. Most of that will be planned tonight. Time to get moving, 4 hours until departure.

Move your data out of Facebook.
Now I'm wiring up blogger to host the data that I want to keep. Photobucket or some other picture site will be my repository for that media. First is my recipe data. Then the goofy stuff like Zombie lyrics. I'll probably resort to posting in Friend Feed, or Posterous and let it post to Facebook.

iPad #1 D&D/Pathfinder/RPG accessory
Thanks to the iPad app, GoodReader, my iPad is now my most important gaming accessory. No more lugging a backback full of books/adventures around. As a book reader, the iPad does a superior job of presenting full color books. With a little practice, I probably will be much more capable navigating PDF's than flipping paper pages.

Amahi installation, part 2
The second pass went flawlessly. The Amahi interface is up and running. But I am out of time for configuring the server, since I am due elsewhere.
Amahi installation, part 1 redux
Too many package dependencies were failing. Going back to the beginning, after reading the instructions. SELinux was buggering up some things too. I'm sure it will go much more smoothly this time.
Amahi installation, part 1
Well, I started right out with a non-standard installation. I loaded Fedora 12 in a virtual machine on my ESXi/PowerEdge-1900 Box, before reading all of the instructions. It turns out that you are supposed to add the Amahi repo during the installation of FC12. But my habit is to install FC12, then vmware-tools, then the other stuff. Now I've added the Amahi repo and letting yum run to its heart's content. *drum roll*
Amahi Home Server
The torrent for Fedora 12 finished downloading last night. So today the project is to install Amahi on the virtual machine. After Waffle House, of course. This is going to be fun.

New stuff in Windows Live™
I really need to spend some time playing with the goodies in Windows Live. I know I'm a Google fan-boy, but Microsoft has caught my eye. Of course I'll have to find out how it runs on OS X and Linux.

There are a few rare gems out there, but they predictably get cancelled after a season or two. Hollywood will collapse under its own weight, star power will fail and they will become merely actors. All of our entertainment will come from overseas, much of it does already, because it's too expensive to make movies in the great socialist state of California.
I still need to get a NetFlix account.

Monday Survived
Well after being off for a week: I've made a first pass at my e-mail, completed two help desks, help with a server fire drill, and moved my new notebook over to my desk. I can say that Dell's 2408WFP monitor is very nice. I haven't gotten to take a drive on the notebook yet, but it should be quite nice. My week off yielded a 30% success on my less-than-ambitious to-do list, so it's the nose to the grindstone now.

I'm ready for my week off, my to-do list is really starting to bug me.
There are so many fun things that I want to do, that only a week off (not traveling) will begin to make a dent in it. I am going to have to plan my time off and budget time for things. Otherwise, I will probably squander an opportunity to get a few things done. First on the list, I have two websites that need some attention. I need to work on my list too...

I reject, as a matter of primary principle, any solution to any problem that grows the size, financial requirements, or function of the Federal Government. The inane Kobayashi Maru morality quips like "No one should die because she cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because she gets sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the next 24 hours" will not go unchallenged if I see them. If the government can't afford her health care, she dies. What do you do then? Call the UN? HA!
The Christians and Buddhists have an interesting solution to this dilemma, that doesn't involve further enslavement to the Great Government Bureaucracy. Having the services of the government be the determining factor of how our society is considered just or compassionate demonstrates a fallacy of understanding that I cannot tolerate.
Furthermore, I will argue with anyone who considers my political opinion wrong. I am entitled to have it, speak my mind, and convince others to accept my viewpoint. This country was founded on the free exchange of ideas from groups of people who did not agree. Arguing challenges the issue or solution to be the best it can be. If all the problems are made know, we will be better for it. The great political debate is what sets us apart from China, Cuba, Iran, or North Korea. As pointless as you might think the political bickering is, it most certainly has a point. Especially if you can agree to disagree.
And I reject the notion that "we have to do something". No, we do not. I would rather take the status quo, over increasing government interference in my life. Socialism is wrong, and I know this to be true. If I call someone a socialist, I see them as a threat to my freedom, politically and economically. I do not see Europe as a more evolved, smarter, or more cultured example of what society should be like.

Looking forward to upgrading to Snow Leopard
I just got my copy of Snow Leopard!!! Thank you Apple and Federal Express. A bargain at $29, the wipe and reload on the Mac Platform is as smooth as it gets. Tonight, after the kids are in bed, I'll get started so I can be ready for the game Sunday.
My copy of Snow Leopard is here!!!
I've got my copy of Snow Leopard now, thank you Apple and FexEx. Tonight is the wipe and reload of my MacBook, after the kids are in bed. I am really looking forward to this, migrating between Mac installs is one of the smoothest processes I've seen. I need to have it ready for the game Sunday.
Day 3 of trying to install the Visual Studio 2010 Beta.
Really, the downloader app should be able to handle this, but it gets lost at step 7/24 and can't download the rest. Trying to download the ISO fails around 300MB into the download. If Microsoft had this via a torrent, even if the ISPs were underhandedly throttling the speed down to 4KB, eventually I would get the image. Maybe I can find a page to request a DVD mailed to me for free.

Why I like Fridays...
Friday afternoon everyone races to get out. The plant gets quiet, and I can start tinkering with servers without anyone noticing. Time for quality uninterrupted work. Scott will be twitching when he finds out I'm on a rebooting spree.
Also craking open the code for our help desk system. mmm... code...

Cleaning out the Help Desk queue
Having 26 help desk tickets assigned to me is a bit much. The rest of this week will be spent, cleaning my queue. Time to put a few projects on hold for a bit. Scott will be back next week, the whole deptartment will be reunited, and I might get back on track.

Wisdom
I brought my cappuccino maker to work a couple of years ago. As I sip my latte, I wonder why I still don't use it more often.

Glad to be back at work
I'm glad to be back at work. Five days of sleep-deprived gaming madness is enough for me. It took a day to recover and get back in sync with normal time. My inbox was overflowing with mail, and I still have yet to get through it all. Things have been fairly quiet this morning, only a couple of visitors. I hope to get orgainized this afternoon and get ready for the rest of the week. Scott is out this week, so some of his distractions might come my way.

The Adventure Ends
Recovery Day
I think I've finally caught up on my sleep. I need to unpack, do laundry, do dishes, make a post office run, organize, and process pictures. Work starts tomorrow, and I'm not quite ready to go back. My to do list has grown, without getting anything done last week. But that's what vacations are all about.

0 for 8
Tried to register for some specific events... all sold out. So I made a second pass at the exhibition floor. Checked off a lot of Fantasy Grounds licenses, Jason will poo poo all over it. Might have to leave him out of the fun. Bought a copy of "The Games" and "Dorkness Rising", so I can punish friends and family with them. Bought a copy of Hero Builder, it supports the Pathfinder rule set and seems quite a bit more polished than PCGen.
Going the eat at the noodle place for lunch in a bit. The prices are cheap, and I am in the mood for some thai-peanuty goodness. And Seth and I can sit on the sidewalk and take pictures of the passersby. Hmm... I need to publish some pictures now...

Seth and I got off to a bit of a late start, but stopping for lunch at a Frish's Big Boy where the statue had been given a pirate makeover was great. Visited Roscoe and Sadie, then went up to see Jack, George, Angie and Mom. Then we made a mad dash to Fry's Electronics were I picked up a spare battery for my Canon SLR and a firewire cable for the camcorder. They had a sale on x233 speed 4GB compact flash cards so I picked up a couple of those too.
Checking into the Marriott when smoothly enough, but much to our dismay, they now charge for Internet access. I think that really sucks for what they charge for the room. However, I figured out how to share my Internet connection while tethered to the iPhone. 3G is like a DSL line in performance, and it rawks. Seth and I ate at the RAM, and now were are in the lobby where we thought the wireless was free. No, read more closely and the lobby is the only wireless. The rooms are cabled Ethernet only. Next year I am buying a 1 month MyFi card from Verizon and putting and end to this douchbaggery.
Time to pick events to visit tomorrow. First order of business is getting Pathfinder rule books.
Ready for pictures, debating taking the video camera. Hmm...

Through most of the history of our national debt it has remained around 7% of our GDP. This number is nearly double that, and halfway to Japan's milestone of 21% back when they were having their problems. The collective stupidity of congress has filled up the tank, and the wheelman is heading the wrong way. The only green part of it, is the color we are now bleeding. -Waldo

I've downloaded an application for my MacBook called Scrivener, which is designed for writing. It is rather inexpensive at $39.95. The trial is generous too, the 30 days only count the days you use it. So until you get 30 days of use out of it, the trial continues. This is perfect for my sporadic tinkering.
I bought an iPhone and it is everything I hoped it would be. With the expaned capacity of the iPhone, and it's ability to play video, I've had to upgrade my MacBook drive from 80 to 320GB. The Western Digital Scorpio Black drive is pretty spiffy, 7200rpm with 5400rpm power consumption. The extra space is nice, I might actually have a Windows VM in Parallels along witht the Ubuntu VM. I've set up my AT&T wireless accound and voicemail, I should be all set.
I've installed Ruby and CVS in my Ubuntu VM, I'll have to see what databases it supports natively.
I think a nap is calling me, oh lazy rainy day.
