Ugh. Rant time.
SMS freaks need to die. It should be illegal, or in the very least there should be an option on my phone to smash the skull of the offending sender with a 50 pound sledgehammer. Seriously. If you've got something to say, dial the fucking number. It takes maybe 30 seconds to have a conversation that'd take 10 minutes to text. Fucking inconsiderate assholes.
What the fuck is it with the speedwalking? I was walking to the office and there's this asshole with the red too-tight shorts and the handlebar mustache like he stepped out of a crappy 70's porno flick wiggling his ass up the sidewalk. I don't have much shame, but holy fucking hand grenade, you look fucking ridiculous.
It's almost as bad as the backwards walking fools. Granted, our body's engineering is awful for efficient bipedal locomotion, but there's a fucking reason we have eyes in the front of our skull.

Ugh. I feel like a cows teet. Played tennis with a friend last night and then worked out in the weight room for an hour and a half. Muscles hurt I didn't think I even had. LIve and learn.
Happy sysadmin day for all the other admins out there 
Boss is taking me out for lunch today!

Ooff. So I'm going through extremes to be able to watch the Germany - Italy football match tomorrow. There isn't a TV at work, so I hooked up my TV's output to my digital video camera. The camera is set to ADC pass-through mode so that it passes the input signal out via firewire to my computer. There I'm using VideoLAN to scale, recompress, and stream the video. If it works as intended, I should be able to use VLC on my workstation at the office to watch the stream
Yes... I am a geek.

Hmm about to go play tennis. First game of the season haha. 6C and 50kph winds. This has all the hallmarks of being a classic 
Why not yesterday when it was 24C and calm you ask? Well, we're not very smart.
Why not yesterday when it was 24C and calm you ask? Well, we're not very smart.Sean and Sachia came over last night. We were supposed to go to friend's house and play ping-pong, but he wasn't feeling so well. We ended up playing ping-pong in the laundry room of my apartment building. The space is pretty tight since the table pretty much takes up most of the room.
With just three of us, it was getting kind of lame, so we decided to come up with our own game. We folded up one end of the table and moved it up against the wall. The idea was to have one person serve off the backboard and onto the table. From there, the next person in rotation had to return it, and so on. The player missing the shot, would get to serve and a negative point (we played HORSE, one letter for each miss).
We later modified the rules a bit. We found this little statue thing in the laundry room, so we put it in the centre of the table. Anyone managing to knock the statue off the table by hitting the backboard first, would automatically win the round. We also turned on the ceiling fan and allowed that to be used in play... although it wasn't very useful, it did add a certain element of danger.
Then we went out and bought beer and chips and dip and watched the Edmonton Oilers game. After the game, Russ came over and we played poker
I had this really wierd dream too that Mya was showing Synnove how to make fritattas and I was sitting on the couch watching American Inventor... and someone was screaming from the bathroom. *shrug*
