Anyways, listening on the main chat channels on the game i play yields some funny things.

I completely give up on my Day: system. Its too boring to try and find a post EVERY day, and I just can’t keep up with it. I still should be posting a few every week, but I just can’t do one every day.
Anyways, I got a wave invite from a friend the other day, and so have been using wave a lot lately. In total, my friends and I have posted 1125 posts to waves that I have been a part of. 758 of those have been in waves back and forth between one friend and I. Wave is like an instant messenger conversation, but so much more useful.
The ability to send image and files, as well as to be able to read someone’s post as they type makes it incredibly efficient. It also makes it easy to poke fun at their mistakes as they correct them.
My friends and I have started working on getting a D&D game going within wave, partially to test out wave, and partially to actually play a game of D&D.
We found a dice “app” for wave, which actually is a bot that you add to the conversation, which takes someone’s typing of XdY and calculates it out, then places the result right after the XdY. It then colours the result in yellow, and the roll in grey, and if you edit either of them afterwards, it highlights it all in red, to show that it has been tampered with.
Example, 2d6 (9)

Semperverus: update with something about ramens, wave, and a dorman’s interlude next to a Semper Verus, Semper Nefas.
Anyways, Ramen is actually good when not overcooked. I was always used to slimy ramen at home, so i never ate it. Now, making it with water heated in the microwave, it tastes pretty good.
I didn’t have a fork or spoon or anything, so I ate my first ramen thing here with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Since, I managed to get my hand on a set of chopsticks from the dining hall, and have been eating it with that.
So, today I noticed that Rideo has passed the 2,000 view mark. It may not be much, in comparison to the bigger blogs, but its quite a lot to me. Also, on a slightly related note, my deviantArt account, as a write this, has 2,006 pageveiws. My deviantArt account is over 3 years old, and this one is… just slightly over a year old. Below is a modified copy of one of the avatars I posted last week. Also, a character avatar for more nerdiness.

Lol, I found a bunch of avatars I had hidden in a back folder of my archive drive. Many of these are funny.

Mr. Dorman: my comment should be at the top if you have all threads visible
I’ve got at least 3 quotes from Dorman about sony, lol.
More photoshopped images! This time about the blog. Sort of.
Alkaline Earth Man has changed his/her status to Online
Mr. Dorman: !!!!!!!

Mr. Dorman is now Offline
In one of the forums I visit, i use the name Alkaline Earth Man. The symbol below is borrowed from the element Mg, an alkaline earth metal, in this site. The first one was from when i was trying to build spin off of my original avatar, which can be seen in this sites icon, and in any of my comments on the page.

Damnatio memoriae is the Latin phrase literally meaning "damnation of memory" in the sense of removal from remembrance. It was a form of dishonor that could be passed by the Roman Senate upon traitors or others who brought discredit to the Roman State.
Yay for wikipedia.
Anyways, life is pretty boring right now.

I need to read Dune again… It was a brilliant book. I probably should read the books i have, too, but i don’t ever seem to have time to.
Now, time to go back to homework.
I’m doing a speech on The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
Alex: I could potentially make an epic sandwich right now
zMOGus: make a sandvich
Alex: ^__________^
Alex: 3 kinds of cheese, 3 kinds of meat
I seriously doubt I can take Swine Flu, or rather, H1N1 seriously. It’s just a mildly more contagious flu. One of the kids in my calculus class keeps referring to the flu with what i’ve placed in the title of this post.
I had a calculus test today. It was mildly easier than I had expected, but still was tough.

Had an Achievement run with Dorman today in TF2. Even due to the fact that I was the only one “dominating” he ended up always with more kills.
And then we went into a normal game. I unintentionally started to pick him off. Though I had about half the amount of kills by the time i left, almost half of my 30 kills were him. I ran around as a scout for most of the game, taking pot shots at people, and using the close range abilities of the scout shotgun to get a few kills. After that, I went spy. Spies are fun, in that pretty much a direct hit from any class will kill you. Dorman was a sniper or heavy for most of the game, and i would sneak up, most of the time disguised under his name, and kill him. It was brilliant. No-one thinks to double check a sniper running up to the sniper spot. I’d clear out the sniper roost for a minute, leave for a while, and then come back to a full nest of juicy backs to stab.
Also, the new American McGee’s Alice game looks epic.
Mr. Dorman: I’m starting one from within the game. see if it shows up under the friends tab
Mr. Dorman: password is poop
The small netbook here is mine. The large one is Semper Verus’ gaming laptop. I’m running XP, and he’s running Ubuntu with a heavily modified skin.
Next month, in November, I’m going to be participating in National Blog Posting Month, where I have to post every day for the month. It’ll be slightly annoying, but I think I can do it.
"I don’t windows very often, but when I do, I windows 7."
I linux ubuntu. I linux ubuntu because it’s actually very user friendly, the community is incredibly helpful and friendly even when you don’t actually talk to them (for instance, my case). They’ll tell you what you need to know generally, and almost always you get a response. Ubuntu itself is sleek and clean, has 25,000+ free pieces of software built into a program that will get them off the internet and install them for you (a la "Add/Remove" or my favorite "Synaptic Package Manager"). It’s clean, safe (all operating systems can get viruses, but it is FAR less likely on ubuntu or linux in general), and productive when you need it to be.
Semper Verus is one of my old friends, now reawakened from a long chronic Mike Jones Syndrome. Anyways, Mr. Dorman is no doubt passed out at a Halloween party right now. His quoteing may have to wait for a while.
I love my new netbook!
So fun, so tiny, so cute. This is a brilliant computer. I can type ALMOST like normal on it, but it takes a slightly different hand position than I’m used to.
The touchpad is incredibly annoying, so much so that I’m going to have to get a wireless mouse to bring with it.
I’ve got most of the bloatware uninstalled already, which is nice.
I had my dad charge it last night, so I’d be able to use it for the car ride home, they wouldn’t bring the car that I’m on the insurance on, because my sister has it… >_>
It came with Google desktop installed. Google desktop is fun, but in a netbook, it probably isn’t a good idea. Bloatware is bloatware. I don’t want to tax my 1 gig of ram too much.
I’m uninstalling the 60 day free trial of office right now… I absolutely hate free trials, and office 2007 takes up too much power for a netbook.
Anyways, this netbook came pre-installed with Microsoft works. I didn’t know they still made that, since office is the main product.

Stargate SG-1: The Alliance, (abbreviated as SG:TA), was to be a first-person shooter based on Season 8 of Stargate SG-1 using a modified version of the Unreal Engine. Development was cancelled in 2006.

they should not have cancled it
Anyways, I’ll make sure to get a picture of this thing against my old laptop tomorrow. The difference between a large 17in screen and this 10in screen is enormous.
