Yesterday evening was a rare geek fest.

I played Battletech with a buddy. It's been years since I last found someone willing to play. Apparently, games involving 200+ pages of rules, little miniatures, hex maps, dies and lots of book-keeping are really not all that popular outside of hardcore geek circles.

Who knew?

Foufs sucks.

That place always has a line up and the only "alternative" thing about it nowadays is the rep attached to the name.

Shit!

My PC turned itself off again after about 5 minutes, It wasn't the power supply then...It's not a virus either since it turns itself of before getting into Windows.

One thing is sure though, the longer I wait before turning on again, the longer it lasts. Which is why I suspected some sort of overheating problem at first. Maybe the fan on the mother board (or processor? isn't working anymore.

But I'm still a student! In september I will start one last semester to complete my degree tongue

Monthly update:

1) I've been going out almost nightly
2) Work has been very busy
3) I went to a party last night, including a brief interlude at bar Diana
4) Highlights of the party were many (the fun sort-of dorky kind) and the lowest point was a very wasted annoyance (aka, Chris) peeing on the front door, inside.
5) Somehow I ended up...

My job has taken a turn towards research at work. I'm nominally only the computer guy for a research lab. But I seem to be doing quite a bit of research-like work. Or at least RA-like work.

If things keep going this way, I'll be an expert in MR image format before soon.

This update is brought to you thanks to peer pressure.

I had a fun little evening tonight. A friend and I hiked up Mont Royal and we had some green tea at the summit. Afterwards, we polished a bottle of wine back at my place. It was fun and I definately need to get out more and get back in shape.

I need new...

I'm not doing much these days compared to what I used to do. I'm not sure what's mup with that. I need some change in my life. I'm open to suggestions...

Yesterday I had an interesting talk with a friend slash prospective client. What come of it:

1) I apparently grossly undervalue what my time is worth when I do consulting.

2) I might have...

Tonight is all you can eat sushi night with the guys. We do this every 6 months or so. Great fun. We go to Cit d'Asie in the Europa Hotel.

Problem is, I was there last saturday having my 40$ worth of sushi. I.e.: 40$ worth of fish at the wholesale price ;-). I think I'll go for the all you can eat Szechuan if...
