This was one of the many shows I grew up on. It’s no wonder I like getting together with others to watch something horrible just to add commentary.
Probably won’t see much of me til tomorrow.
Probably won’t seem much of me tonight. I was asked to come in early tomorrow, which is fine with me! I won’t say no to extra money in me pocket. Already have my clothes on the desk for tomorrow. Still doing that emo thing.
Open Thread Strikes Again
Seems it’s been hard to write anything. Things are going well, went back to work today and everything was fine. No major amounts of stupid to report. I think the large amounts of candles and tea have somehow evened me out.
On an aside I wore black slacks, black shoes and a black sweater. That’s right, I’ve gone emo. It won’t be long before I start writing Harry Potter goffik fanfiction.
Tonight I played some BioShock, Serious Sam HD and Overlord. All good games. But now it’s time to drink my Earl Grey and get some shut eye…
Random power outage is random.
Just had a strange outage a bit ago. Power came on one second later after dying. Currently verifying OverlordRaid 1
Uru goes Open Source
An Open Letter on Open Source ☺
The progress on our open source roadmap has been slow but has never stopped. And now what will look like a large step is really the result of numerous people, both inside and outside of Cyan Worlds, slowly cutting the rock into shape…
Today we are announcing that the sources for the MOULA client engine and development tools (CyanWorlds.com Engine) will be made available as open source. At the same time, MOSS which is a MOULA server replacement (written by a’moaca’ and cjkelly) will also be released. Both open source projects will be hosted on OpenUru.org.
The goal of the open source CyanWorlds.com Engine and the MOSS server is to provide a “playground” where new writers can learn their craft, and new maintainers can inspect it, and new cartographers can map it. The Cyan Worlds MOULA servers will continue to provide a (relatively) safe environment for the D’ni faithful to mingle and share.
The path forward from here seems fairly obvious and very exciting – with amazing parallels to the D’ni universe itself. As new writers arise with new books, the books are tested and documented – and books that are approved by some new kind of maintainers guild will (hopefully) find their way to the MOULA server where the public can enjoy new worlds once again.
These are exciting times, but not without risk. The tools and skills are new and need to be sharpened. There will be disagreements and strongly expressed opinions. And there will be decisions and mistakes. But keep in mind that the big picture is a lot like rebuilding a long dead civilization – and the forest of common goals far outnumber the few trees of differences. Let’s keep it civil. ☺
There have been numerous people cutting on the rock, and they’ve kept this project alive. We sincerely thank all of them for the wonderful help. Specifically there are a few people who went above and beyond – JWPlatt, a’moaca’, Mac_Fife, cjkelly, rarified and Chogon.
Thanks again for the continued support!
Shorah,
Rand
It looks like I may have to bring back my “I am Uru and so can you” title.
Open Thread
Hate to say it but today is my last day of wearing red for now. I’ll be dipping into black. I’ve got my clothes laid out and everything. But it was a good run while it lasted. Today I have a very nice kimono top on which inspired me to make some shanghai style fried rice on a cold rainy spring day.
Early Morning Open Thread
Didn’t really blog much yesterday. Was feeling a tad antisocial >_>
Went to the bank yesterday to make a deposit, weather was nice though a little windy. Bought a couple things on ebay and continued to wear red AND fight on the red team. Still racking up dem achievements.
And I’m still wearing red… That is all.
Day off Open thread
With the weather being cold I mostly did my laundry today. Decided to burn a different soy candle with the scent of mint. Smells real good and burns for a long time.
Still haven’t broken my red challenge yet! Wearing red flannels. Speaking of red I did a lot of red (and blu) team action today and tonight. Got quite a few achievements and a few items. Even got a couple playing poker night at the inventory. Yep… Tonight was very game oriented.
Still in the red.
Didn’t have much to post last night. Work was basically work. Shot some things in TF2 and played a bit of that nexus demo. I’m thinking of recording a hi res version of it since the one video I saw of it was very very small.
Didn’t break the red challenge yet, almost did though because it was sunny out but that didn’t mean it was warm… So I stuck with my red sweater followed by warm red PJ’s in the evening. Now I’ve gone with this for today.
Blue jean mini skirt, black skirt pants, white spaghetti strap tank top with built in fiberglass bra and a red long sleeved dress shirt to top it off. With of course red earrings and a beaded necklace. The necklace isn’t in the shot. I threw it on at the last minute.
This puts me on day 4 of the red challenge.
