Well I got some feedback. It seems tapatalk isn’t working properly although it says it’s installed at my end. So here’s my new to do list for Tuesday (since I have work later today).
Ship gifts (assuming I get them prepped after I get home tomorrow night)
Reinstall Tapatalk
Start working on new laptop.
Try to go to the bank to make a deposit.
At least the list shrunk a bit. 🙂
Well, I overslept. So by the time I woke up it was dark and cold outside. Don’t feel like going to the bank ATM in that so I’ll save it for another day. Oh well, doing my bedding instead. I also upgraded the forums to the latest phpBB, installed AutoMod and TapaTalk. I don’t have a smartphone, so if anyone could give me some feedback to see if it’s properly working I would appreciate it.
Next comes wrapping gifts. Not sure if I’ll work on the laptop or save that for Tuesday when I have my next day off.
Update
Somehow my selection of Christmas wraps have vanished without a trace. I’ll have to see if there are any left tomorrow at work. You can tell how well I traditionally celebrate Christmas these days…
The mother and father of a 16-year-old girl in Rocklin, California, were in the habit of shutting off the home internet at 10pm. In order to get round the curfew, their daughter and a 15-year-old friend offered to pick up shakes from a fast-food restaurant, which they then allegedly drugged.
This is something I would never even consider doing. Drugging your own family to get what you want? What would happen if they were rich and wanted to inherit a fortune? Or take your parents car? Drug em! Drug em like no tomorrow!
But holy fuck… I could never, ever think of doing something like this. What could take place in someones life that would lead to a decision like drugging milkshakes to get what they want? The parents only had a little sip and were out cold not long after. What if they drank the entire thing?
Makes you wonder not only about the kid, but the parenting as well.
Started the day sleeping past the alarm. Still made it to work on time though. Nice and quiet night of work. 8)
Now to put together my to do list for tomorrow’s day off.
Install Windows 7 and Ubuntu onto new laptop drives (they arrived!)
Box gifts for various friends in and out of country
Upgrade Forum to latest version of phpBB (One version behind, hopefully nothing breaks)
Install AutoMod
Install Plugin so that people can read the forum via a smartphone.
Go to bank to make a deposit
Fuck off the rest of the night.
It’s going to be a nerdy day. 🙂
Found an interesting read tonight. I have no doubt this is done quite a bit. Putting together tutorials on how to target girl gamers in particular.

He released an “apology” video.

In the video he makes it clear he’s not very happy with Kotaku, and as punishment for poking at his fun he is going to go out of his way to torture more girl gamers. Because I guess that’s what manly men do? Boys will be boys and that sort of thing, right? Nothing like being a tough guy in mum’s basement.
I wonder if he plays any other games, or if he’s strictly into that game only. Would be fun if I met up with him. I’d clearly bring FRAPS for one of my own “tutorials”. 😉 But then I don’t know if he’d pick a fight with me. Since he has based his selections on the amount of cleavage he finds, and the closest I can get to cleavage is this:
So apparently I had to be to work a bit earlier today, and everyone but me knew… lovely.
The rest of the day was alright. Although I’m a bit pissed that the wifi at work still won’t work properly. I’m starting to take it personally…
Ended up playing some offline TF2 and Serious Sam during my lunch. At least there’s that. 🙂
Tonight I finished Jewel of the nile for Serious Sam BFE with Ivan. Real fun DLC! Need to get more people together for a good run in that game. My favorite part was flying around Egypt with a jetpack blowing up everything in my path.
Stewie likes getting up there to steal things. Mainly my chopsticks… Unfortunately for him I haven’t used them in awhile, but this doesn’t seem to stop him from staking out his territory in the kitchen.
Got my Christmas package from princess barbie. 😀 Good, now I know she hasn’t moved yet. I can send her presents (and other peoples) on my next day off. Christmas seems to be dragging on a bit longer than usual, as I awoke today to even more gifts…
Since wordpress is a dick and won’t let me display the link publicly, here is my 2012 awesomeness.
In 2012, there were 453 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 701 posts. Because you know, there is a lot to say.
The busiest day of the year was July 18th with 329 views. The most popular post that day was Need a mashed potato dispenser here!.
These are the posts that got the most views in 2012.
How was I found? Oddly enough, it was mostly by people looking for porn or George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. Which goes to show that even the biggest assholes can still be useful for something. 🙂
The top referring sites in 2012 were:
And finally the top posters, with me being in 2nd place.
