Right, so I haven't been coding, well too much lately. I have however been spending a lot of time with KOTR. Sure, my X-box is back in Monterey, but I can look longingly at the game box, plot and scheme, and I even have a memory pack so if I do play it for a bit, I will be able to return to the central coast with my Jedi in hand. Oh KOTR how I love thee so. A few days ago, H, Steve, and I were over at the Blairsters watching him be an evil bastard in the game. He managed to get two warring families to not only shoot their others' children in the open, but then kill each other as well. And I think that sums up nicely just how evil a bastard you can be in the game. I'll save you any more rambling on the game, since if you really want to know, you can go see Tycho's obsession with it on a site far more popular than mine. Just go look for the guy helping Jawas into furnaces; can't miss 'em.
In addition to a healthy dose of video games, I have also gotten a lot of work done in the realm of programming. Gotten a bit more work at ASAP done, and got the Kaizoku-Fansubs project manager online. Now I am going back and adding bells and whistles like a BitTorrent admin program, CRC numbers and release information, etc. Eventually I am going to take screen captures and put it all in my portfolio. I also need to talk ASAP into getting a pair of sexy magnetic card readers with keyboard emulation since they are so anal about "no using SSN" in the database. In a university where every student's only unique identifier is their ssn, wouldn't it make sense then to use that (especially if in an encrypted form)? I'm not crazy about the SSN idea myself, but there is no way I am going to manually assign numbers for 3-4000 students. That's just stupid.
Moving right along to stranger things, I have had my share of creepy weirdness lately. I suppose anyone could just ask me and I'd explain, but it isn't worth the energy of a few dozen keystrokes.
Slipping from personal to the more interesting, waxy provided a link to this which is the The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project. A new picture every 12 hours, since 1994.
