The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Early Evening Open Thread

Work was pretty quiet. I got a lot done. Didn’t sleep on the job, etc. Although now that I’m home I’m tempted to take a nap. The sun’s gone down, my eyelids are heavy, the smell of turkey cooking is helping to put me in the mood.

On another note I went through my collection of tags and got rid of an assload that were hardly getting used. Took it down from 36 pages to an entire 9. Next project will be the categories.

21% of people are really fucking stupid.

Well, there are other scales and percentages that tell me the same thing :P. But the one in particular is this. 21% (originally 13%) of people drive while using the internet. This is mostly done to update their facebook or twitter status. Because clearly that’s faaaar more important than keeping an eye on the road, let alone while you’re walking in a store or down the street… Apparently running into trees and people is acceptable to some in this day and age.

If only this happened on my server.

One of the places I like to read is Fat, Ugly or Slutty. A blog that specializes in pointing out stupid things guys do to girl gamers. Most of the stuff that’s posted over there is from the XBox community, but today I saw this and had to laugh about it.

I would have had a blast if I was playing with a group of guys like that on my server… oh god, where to begin? Especially with stuff like this at my disposal?

Supertanks, Rochelle Spitters, Smoker Bill’s that’ll strangle you with their dicks. How many ways could I make them rage? 😀

Spice up Steam a bit.

Ever since the 2010 update I’ve been pretty much running Vanilla. But after seeing a Steam friend’s screenshots I decided to customize a bit. After all I have a large collection of Win 7 and XP themes. So why not? Give people options I say!

There were a couple I couldn’t get working, and some of them work but have the “BIG PICTURE MODE” button missing, but overall a refreshing change.

Looks like we might be moving this Spring

For the last couple years water has been seeping through the windows downstairs whenever it rains. We thought it had to do with how the windows were sealed or maybe the water was just coming through the baseboard upon the wall. But it turns out the entire left side of the house is rotting away.

I’m dreading moving but, what can you do?

Work itself was quiet tonight. However things still got pretty interesting. To give you an idea of how bad the storm was, part of our building got flooded. It wasn’t anything too horrible but we did have to close off the entire area. 3 guys tried to push the water out but it kept coming back in as it was entirely level.

I believe it mostly has something to do with the repaving of the driveway. They did a shitty job of it. Now there’s lots of little pools for water to collect in, that and the trenches don’t work properly either. Oh! Also the roof upstairs is leaking. Fabulous.
