Damn, I FINALLY get to make some moneys. I haven’t had a 40 hour or anywhere near that in a couple years. I think when I get home tonight my first priority will be syncing my game data so that I can play whatever I want. I have like, 6 downloads going on right now. Oh well, in the meantime I can spy on the servers and see if anyone is being good.
The Guild Of Slackers is now a public Steam group.
So I’ve been thinking about it for awhile now, and I’ve finally decided to make my main Steam group open to all. Feel free to join and use my Pinion free servers. Because I’m not going to spam you. 😛
An open thread of openess
Alright, sorry for not posting much. My webhost had some serious issues yesterday morning that were related to some upgrades and migrations. It was so terrible inf act that their phones were down. They lost everything.
And if that wasn’t enough there has also been a fire inland that may be causing us some serious internet issues. The ping on our servers has been terrible these last few days though stabilized tonight. Hopefully everything will be better now.
I tested the Left 4 Dead 2 server by spawning as many tanks, witches, gnomes, explosions etc and the server ran perfectly. Our clients however did not… I’ve also been running an Elevator Source server but had to take it offline. Out of all 8 servers that I’m running Elevator seems to take up more resources than the other 7 servers combined. I find myself having to restart it constantly after people have had their fun in it. Originally I wasn’t even going to make this a full time server, but then I saw people on there and decided to leave it up. It amazes me how people will connect up just to stand around and do nothing but chat with each other… Then I remember that Uru still exists. Maybe I should send these people over to the Myst Online forums and see how fun it is to sit in a neighborhood or a city doing nothing.
On a brighter note all of my matcha items arrived! I haven’t made any traditional matcha yet, but I have had the matcha/sencha teabags. They have a very nice grassy flavor to them. If you like green tea I recommend giving it a try.
For those of you who don’t know what matcha is, click here and be enlightened.

Well, once again I’ve been too tired to take pictures of me for my “fashion week” thing. Oh well, I didn’t wear anything special. On another note most of the server upgrades arrived in the mail (along with my matcha!). All I need now is a cable and some fans to arrive and the server will be complete!
Blukake mascara.
Today I saw something cool. Colored mascara. I don’t wear regular mascara very often, but I do love the idea of colored eyelashes.
It’s a new item I found at work, decided to buy a few of them (they were cheaper than the amazon price). So now I have red, blue and purple. I might even get green tomorrow. But I know one thing, I look damn good with blukake eyelashes.
Fashion week. Because I need something to blog about. It might as well be (more of) me.
Been keeping myself busy the last few days (and sometimes drunk). All in all it’s been a good weekend. So I’m going to do something special this week on the blog and post a picture of myself everyday (or try to) to show off my ugly arse and how fashionable it is.
Since I work with clothes people ask me what the latest trends are… the fuck would I care? I wear whatever the hell I want. Even if it’s Chinese pants with a flowering blue top, blue flower and a blue necklace.
My server fetish has been fed.
The new server arrived yesterday! It’s a very nice setup with quite a lot of options (extra fans, up to 64GB RAM if I want, etc). Setting it up with the latest Fedora for a test run later today. But so far I’ve been impressed with it! Well… all but Fedora. With every new release they seem to give me another reason to hate what they’ve done with Anaconda.
That should be fun to test later though. Think I’ll celebrate and get some coke to have with my whiskey.
Lacking moral fiber.
Man… work was brutal today. I got there and one of my coworkers spent 4 hours in a checkstand without getting a break (which in Oregon is illegal since you are required by law to take one every two hours), then at one point he had to go to lunch for two hours because he came in too early and the store doesn’t have enough hours for him to stay a full day. So they called yet another one of our people down to check leaving us with two. Then I had to go to lunch and that left one person up stairs by themselves having to manage every department… I came back and had to help some customers for a bit. Then at about 8:00pm I headed downstairs to start bringing clothes in from our sidewalk sale (about 40 racks so it takes awhile). The shoe lady that had been checking for almost two hours finally gets to go back to her job… for five minutes before calling her down again. At this point I finally have some help bringing things in. The downside is that there was no one upstairs to help anyone find anything or get anything done. So we had at least one shoplifter make off with $100 worth of stuff because Security went home early. It’s like we’re designed to be total fail.
The person in charge (of the checkstands and the store tonight) is one of the same people who forced my boss to work a checkstand with an injured back. There was also another case that happened recently where an actual cashier had breathing problems due to the tar. She had a severe case of Bronchitis and needed to get to the ER and they denied her… at least until she said she thought she was going to die there in the checkstand.
Jesus Christ it’s like we’re competing with Wal-Mart to see who will make it to the bottom first.
