I keep telling myself that. At this point my brains are complete mush and hope for a two day sleep in. I’m not even going to make plans. I’m just gonna do whatever.
Gabe Newell: Linux and Open Source are the future of gaming
Gabe Newell made an appearance at LinuxCon in New Orleans:
In the video he makes an interesting point about today’s users being more like developers. Thanks to Valve people can make their own games with the Source Engine, game modes, game content for their favorite Steam Workshop games and of course videos with Source Filmmaker. Valve is an open minded company, and open minded companies benefit from Open Source programs. This is where Linux comes into play. At this point it has more of a future than Windows. Hell, even the Playstation 4 will be using a modified FreeBSD Linux distro. This could leave Microsoft at a bit of a disadvantage. If they’re not careful there is a large possibility that more developers will pull their focus towards OpenGL over Direct X. However, only time can tell us how that will pan out.
Back on topic, Gabe Newell also announced how Linux will be making it into our living rooms. Won’t that be kewl. :3
5 seconds of fame.
Aside from all the weirdness there was one cool thing that happened today. One of my steam buddies congratulated me about making the front page of Rock Paper Shotgun, this article to be exact. My map review of de_cyberwar was one of their choices. To be honest I was a bit blown away by it (and still am), because I never would have expected it. Still, pretty awesome. 😀
The constant flow of weirdness continues.
At the end of the night I was treated to an unpleasant strip tease… A woman decided she didn’t need a fitting room and wanted to try shirts on. She stripped all the way down to her two bras. Security informed us about it, we told her to stop but she kept going anyway… Then she complained about it to someone else because how dare anyone not want to look at her double bra titties.
That is my weird report for the day. Tune in tomorrow for more WTF.
Leftovers from Friday The 13th I guess.
I had a strange occurrence today, somone lady wanted into a fitting room and I needed to know how many items she was going to bring in (it’s a rule). She left them on our return bar to count, asked her how many and she said they were right there. So I began counting out loud and she said I was being sarcastic and threatened to tell my boss.
That’s new, I never thought sarcasm could be translated into counting. Why did I not get the memo on this? I counted loud enough so that she could hear how many items she has (it’s also a rule if I’m the one counting them). Some people are just overly sensitive.
The most of my Friday The 13th.
Ok, so after getting back from lunch I found out someone wiped their ass on a couple articles of clothing in one of the ladies fitting rooms (didn’t have to deal with it, we just threw them away)… then at the end of the night a lady wanted to buy a kilt. We don’t carry them and have never carried them. She seemed to be rather shocked about this and demanded to know if we even knew what a kilt was. I was oh so tempted to say “Uhhh, that’s what they wear in Japan amirite?”
Dumb fucks is dumb.
Happy Friday the 13th!
So far everything has been calm and pleasent, eerie for a Friday! Hope everyone else is having a good day.
Preparing my own epic meal time.
I decided to make myself some nice lunch items for work later today, it’s quite unique too. Sauteed red bell pepper, serrano, onion, garlic with mango pepper sausage in sriracha sauce over rice. Made fresh in hell, it’ll clear the sinuses and the bowels. Hopefully it brings me luck on this Friday The 13th.
Hope everyone else has some good nomz too.
